Only tires were wounded at Potlatch hotel

[kate_schaefer]

Very early this morning outside the Potlatch hotel, some cops on bicycles came across a drug deal in process in a car in a parking lot nearby. In the process of stopping and arresting the suspects (I had to fight really hard not to say the perpetrators; I guess I didn't fight hard enough), the cops shot out the tires of the drug dealer's car. No one was injured.

We were not there. Our car was not there. No one we know was there. Elise saw it from her hotel room, but without knowing what was going on.

Damn. Will the Seattle PD pay for the damage?

Wait, shot out the tires on the car of the perpetrators or shot out the tires of your car? I assumed the formed, not the latter. Excitement abounds. Good thing no one was hurt.

Apparently the British police shot out some tires today too. I didn't think that happened outside the movies and now twice in the same week :)

Uh, "I assumed the former..."

No. No. No. The car of the perpetrators. Not the car of anyone we know or care about. Said car was in motion until the cops shot out the tires, at which point it stopped and the cops arrested the perps.

Pardon me for being unclear.

Yes, the former. No, our car wasn't involved and in fact wasn't anywhere near.

I'm so glad no one or nothing we know was shot this morning. It is scary to think of you that close to that kind of shooting, and I'm glad you weren't caught in the crossfire.

No, no, no, no. I have been unclear. We weren't there. Our car was not there. The car of which I spoke was the car of the persons engaged in the drug transaction. No one was shot. There was no crossfire. The cops shot at the tires of the car; the people in the car did not shoot at anyone.

What kind of lame drug dealers were they, anyway? Aren't drug dealers born with uzis in their hands?

That neighborhood certainly has become interesting in the past couple of years. Or at least I don't remember hearing about prostitutes working that street last time.

Most places, the staff would play it down- here, the person who checked me out told me ALL about it, since I managed to miss the whole thing.
