At mark:

1:20 - Police vehicle disabled - radiator blew after suspect car rammed the police car.

1:40 - Suspect fires back at officer.

1:53 - Imagine being the driver of the car the suspect hit just before the shootout started! You can see her flee her car. And, you can see somebody waiting for a bus mere feet away!

Facts won't matter if perp is black.

NOTHING a black can do justifies being shot by cops, especially white cops.

Good shoot...

The poverty pimps won't touch this incident with a ten foot pole.

It's not like there is any doubt about the danger this guy posed.

Very different from the Fruitvale Station shooting. Or this one:

Damn, that chase began in the area known as Ballard, near my daughter's place.

I'm glad the perp is no longer with us.

I lived in Ballard for ten years. Things there certainly have changed and not for the better.

Note the driver his runs down the street but still in line of fire. If she had run 10 toward the other side of the street, she would have been safer.

You lived in Ballard for ten years and you’re a conservative?

[beelzepug]

Yeah, my wife and I bought a house out there in 1975. I was going to school and she was working in ad sales at - are you ready for this - the Seattle P.I. I used to have some dandy arguments with some of her co-workers.

We liked Ballard because there were still neighborhoods out there. I go through there and check it out sometimes on those rare occasions when I’m in the city. Mostly all apartments, now.
