Further evidence of the absolute corruption and brutality of the SPD.

In the early hours of June 24th, the second day of Pride weekend, the Seattle Police Department attacked a queer street dance party.

Leading the charge was Lt. Gregg Calder. He is currently a leader on the 20/20 reform team and is in charge of the Sergeants Academy.

This video presents proof of his lies.

Wow sprayed arrested and released. and the cop reportedly is homophobic. he is worse than hitler

[cryhavocandletslip66]

Only because Hitler's dead.

Regardless of what your servile ass says, you can be sure they'd be charging this guy with something if they possibly could. The US legal system is acknowledging that he did nothing--but you, some random internet idiot, are still trying to claim he did something? Give up.

This is mindless police brutality, pure and simple.

Can someone please post Lt. Gregg Calder's home address?

These big incidence where the SPD is blatantly in the wrong keep being shown by local new stations like its something new. I've been living in Seattle my whole life and i can tell you that this issue is far from new. unjust shootings, attacks like this, extremely minor calls, traffic tickets you name it this police department is corrupt through and through.

Why?

[Reason45]

So are most discussions taking place online. I apologize for implying you were stupid, that's an ad-hominem attack and not my style. What I should've requested was the rationale/evidence for that claim. Are you aware that most scientific literature of the last decades would disagree with your contention?

Seattle police have a problem with liberals because some are jacked up war jockeys straight from murdering civilians in Iraq, but we need them to offset the other group of thugs, the idiot armed criminals running amok across this city. So take your poison. From the way the cop was acting in the earlier shot, he probably got called a barrage of epithets for hours, and lost control. Also, video does not pick up spitting, and I've seen women spit on cops at protests, so just know that.

DONT FUCK...with Seattle Police. Why cant Hipsters grasp this concept?

[TheGrayman1234]

Oh yes, that statement would pretty well sum it up. Of course this is really off topic of the subject matter of the vid.

[Reason45]

You couldn't possibly be stupid enough to think that being LGBT is a "lifestyle," could you? That would be embarrassing for you.

[TheGrayman1234]

Since the video is titled (Seattle Police Department Attacks Queer Street Party On Pride Weekend) I would assume the lifestyle that I am referring to would be obvious.

[Reason45]

Which lifestyle do you disagree with, anarchism? That's not really a lifestyle.
