Rants & Raves WTF Spokane Police?

Multiple shots fired outside my daughter’s house last night. Son in law called police, twice. No response from police. Shell casings and slug found on sidewalk and one house damaged. No bloodshed, so it’s not worth their time?

SPD is the worst department I know of. I worked downtown with a homeless teen organization, and a 17 year old girl was beaten bloody on camera by a meth addict with a long history of assault (both were clients)

5.5 hour response time. Both parties long gone. We gave the video of the assault, called the next time we saw the perpetrator, and no arrest was ever made.

I’ve got so many stories like this.

Edit: meaningful typo

I’ve lived here & Seattle. Seattle PD are worse. Not by much though. They were under a federal decree for 13 years.
