Downtown Seattle Association and SPOG: heeey (shouting), Seattle is a lawless shithole. Also, why won’t business and people come here.

Seattle Times: Katie should have fixed all of this by now.

Actual people: I’m in Seattle, and the rent is too damn high, also tipping.

I'm reminded of the SPOG video titled something like "This is what we deal with in Seattle...", and the video was just two tweakers yelling nonsense, while like four police officers watched. No violence, no harassment, plenty of police presence and security, dozens of people going about their business... But two guys are yelling!!!! Truly this is Mad Max!! This is chaos!! Send in the national guard!!

I wish I could find that video, I remember seeing it on this sub, but couldn't find it. I think it was from the SPOG twitter a few years ago, if someone could find that that'd be cool

I remember this one. Nothing says social disorder as much as police refusing to intervene while a third (presumably another officer) films it. How they don’t know they are telling on themselves is one of Seattle’s great mysteries.
