From Reason TV: Norm Stamper is a cop who saw it all during his 34 years on active duty. As Police of Seattle from 1994 through 2000, he was in charge during violent World Trade Organization protests in the Emerald City. Stamper, who holds a Ph.D. in leadership and human behavior from United States International University, has emerged as one of the most thoughtful and outspoken critics of the war on drugs, which he believes causes untold misery, undermines effective law enforcement, and doesn't begin to pass any sort of cost-benefit analysis. As important, the libertarian Stamper believes that the drug war—and other wars on the behaviors on consenting adults—does great violence to the idea that we own our bodies. Stamper is the author of the Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Exposé of the Dark Side of American Policing (2005) and now works with Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a nonprofit created by former cops to "reduce the multitude of unintended harmful consequences resulting from fighting the war on drugs and to lessen the incidence of death, disease, crime, and addiction by ultimately ending drug prohibition." Former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper on the high costs of the drug war... ...

A car involved in a pedestrian hit and run in Seattle is being sought by Seattle Police. The car struck a 6 year old girl at the intersection of South Henderson Street and Seward Park Ave South, on Thursday afternoon. According to witnesses, the vehicle was driving south on Seward Park Avenue South when it "veered" into the oncoming lanes and hit a girl walking in a crosswalk. Seattle policewoman Renee Witt said that the impact launched the girl approximately 20 feet in the air. It also knocked out several of the girl's teeth and left her with nonfatal injuries. The car then left the scene. According to Police spokesman Mark Jamieson, the car involved in the Seattle car crash could be a Lincoln. Police don't have the fleeing vehicle's license plate, but witnesses said the two men in the car appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s, Jamieson said. ...

If The Sopranos took place in Seattle, we always imagined the mob haunts would be in industrial south Seattle, with the Bada Bing on Airport Way South. So the report of a body being dumped out of a moving vehicle at Ninth Avenue South and South Dakota Street at 7:30 this morning sits well with our seedy visions. According to witness reports, someone driving a dark-colored Kia Rio dumped the body in an intersection and continued driving. The witness attempted to follow the Kia, but lost them on Airport Way South. Police say the body is an unidentified male of unknown age, who appeared to be dead at the time of the disposal. The area surrounding the body-dump has been blocked for continued investigation of the scene. The SPD is also looking for the vehicle involved: a 1995 Kia Rio with Washington License Plate 549 UXG. As always, the reality of crime is not nearly as glamorous as it's shown on television—a body dump out of a Kia Rio, not an Escalade in sight. The Sopranos screenshot ...
"SPD Bike" by Seattlest Flickr Photographer Slightly North Though we don't know his name yet, we do know that an off-duty Seattle Police detective and Police Guild board member shot a Hells Angels biker during this years' Sturgis bike rally. The shooting occurred early Saturday morning at a packed bar during the week-long rally. The officer involved in the shooting identified himself as a member of the Iron Pig motorcycle club. ( Funny how, when it's a bunch of cops on motorcycles, it is a "club" and not a gang. ) Several people questioned about the shooting have identified themselves as SPD officers on vacation, and one man has been identified as a sergeant who once ran security detail for Norm Rice. The shooting is currently under investigation by South Dakota authorities. The Seattle Police Guild and Department have already firmly declared support for their officers, though the accused shooter has been previously disciplined for violence while off duty. Sgt. Rich O'Neill, President of the Police Guild has said that the officer involved feared for his safety and had to shoot after a "completely unprovoked" attack. Five SPD officer have been removed from active duty pending the outcome of the investigation. ...
