The other way I had to make my way downtown to get some birthday presents for people. When I left Lush, There were the Seattle Police Horse patrol. They were drinking star bucks and talking with people. Their horses were beautiful. I have never had the opportunity to ride a horse, but one day I will. One horse guy was missing. I was hoping it was Officer Tom who used to work at the science center before the admin got stupid and got rid of the police in return for fake security.
It was at the science center where I changed my mind about some police officers. We had the best. They were good. I just wish all police people could have been like them. Then there was the time when I was deathly ill and my car broke down on a busy street. The Seattle police man was the most helpful and even let me sit in his car until the tow company came. He could have been real mean, but he was not.
Even though Officer Tom was not with this horse patrol, I watched for awhile and saw the police give kids stickers and talked to the public about the horse. There was even a woman police lady. When I was walking home, I passed by some Seattle Police on bicycles. They waved and said hi! It was really nice. I think the addition of the bike patrols has been a really good thing. I left safe and felt there was help around, but not like the man was watching over me. What I saw that day is how all police should be.
And they are not. The Jerk Snohomish Police focus on all the wrong things. In general, they are lazy and do not do their job. The Shoreline Police are a big joke. And the joke is that the only people they pull over are non white folks. For really. I lived in Shoreline for 2 plus years, and trust me, never a white person pulled over. There are a lot of white people who live in Shoreline.
I am very very thankful for the good police people. Who know their jobs are really customer service jobs. Who know how to take care of bad people or people who are making bad choices, but in the end, remember even they are people too and deserve as much dignity as possible. And to the Jerk police…. you suck!
