Here is the story in the Seattle Times.

shooting him for spraying water at the cops and trying to run away with no visible weapons.
nice to see the cops of renton trigger happy.
whats next?
>>whats next?
I’m glad you asked. Most animal control officers really think that the badger population will explode in the coming winter. Some of these badgers won’t get the attention they need from the badger females. As their desires build up – they’ll take out their lust on just about anything. If you come home and find a badger buggering your household appliances, don’t say you haven’t been warned.
Who is the pinhead that put up the first post? You have no idea what it’s like to have to arrest a wanted, dangerous felon. This Adam Henry, slang for a$$ hole, stuck a gun in the face of a Kirkland officer to avoid arrest. There are a lot of facts that you and the general public are unaware of. I would like to see you face to face with one of these jacked up nuts. The officer will be justified in this situation. TCC
I agree with you completly TCC, but how much is it that people don’t know or don’t except the truth?
Make that accept not expect.
>>There are a lot of facts that you and the general public are unaware of.
I’ve heard that the officer showed an amazing amount of restraint and is to be commended on helping saving this crazy persons life.
What’s with the shitty news reporting? I’m sure KOMO knows the details too and sitting on the information.
(Not that you’re wondering, but I won’t put what I heard down as I didn’t get the info from a primary source)
he never pointed a gun in a kirkland officers face.
so stop sprouting your nonsense.
and its nice to see the coverups in effect and its swept out of the medias eye.
and the facts seem to slip through your feeble mind. so you might want to tape the mouth shut until you actually do have FACTS and stop spreading the BS
There’s a rumor that he’s never touched a shift key as well.
your in your mid 20 s so your suppose to be old enuogh to make choices with ur life that atleast take half a brain to come up with the answer.. YOU chose to marry him knowing these things.. you made that decision no one forced u into it.. so now u need to learn to work through this.. I knew a couple that were dating on the internet.. and although they were commited to each other through the internet the guy was getting sick of waiting wondering if she’d ever really come cause he was trusting in her that she was infact going to come but kept stalling or having reasons to put off coming to the point that he considered having sex with someone else because it was a year and a half since they had met online, and lets face it a year and a half of no sex is alot to ask of anyone, but let alone someone that u’ve never met fact to face.. so maybe thats what happened with ur guy, maybe he started to lose faith that u’d eventually move to be with him and he made a bad choice.. i doubt if it was anything but sex..and now that u are with him.. and now married to him.. has he given u any reason to believe that he’d cheat on u now? Since Oct.. and this whole thing with this chic came to light, has he done anything to make you feel insecure? is he hiding things? is he constantly late? is he still contacting her? is he trying his butt off to make u see that he loves u and only u and wants to be only with u??????? crap happens, but his true commitment wasnt made till the day he said I do to u.. and if from this moment on for the next 50 years he loves u and is true to u wouldnt it be worth it? so give him a chance, if he screws it up again, go back home and chalk it up to a huge mistake.. but u chose to marry him, so u chose to give him this chance to prove to you that he can forsake all others and be true to only you.. so dont be blind.. but have faith that he wouldnt of gone to all the trouble of marrying u if he truely didnt want to be with u .. if he wanted her , he could of been with her, but he chose u in the end so give ur marriage a fair shake.. try and put this behind u and look forward.. until he gives u a reason not to trust in your marriage and your vows..To your edit.. really doesnt change things.. ur the idiot that chose to still marry him knowing all of this.. so u need to own up to the choices u’ve made and be accountable for your own actions.. marriage vows are not to be taken lightly and the fact that u still proceeded to marry this guy and a month later ur thinking it was a mistake , just shows how stupid and immature u really are.. he didnt trick u , you have your own brain to bad u dont know how to use it..
