Seattle police have had one after another debacles in recent years from cops getting DUI's to cops making racist threats. to cops kissing underaged teen 'explorers.'

Many more example s from SPD, but that is enough to make the point. Now one of those SPD officers who made headlines, and not in a good way, is poised to take over as president of the SPOG, the Seattle police union. Ron Smith shot a Hell's Angel at a biker bar in ND in 2008. While I don't begrudge anyone, cop or otherwise, from defending themselves from criminal attack, guns and alcohol don't mix. If you want to go to a bar, but don't feel safe without your gun, then don't go. Period. Smith and his pals were charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, but charges were later dropped by ND prosecutors.

Now this guy is going to become head of the SPD union? SPD is just a gang in blue.
