6th Ave and N. Fife Street in Tacoma. The street lighting there is pretty decent so the cop should have seen him. The cop was not paying attention to the road in front of him.

That’s about 7 blocks from my house.
There was a gang shooting a couple of months ago there when a wake / party was being held for the last gangland shooting. Happily, I left the bar about two hours before that shooting. :-)
Tacoma is a horribly run city. Priorities of the City Council are completely messed up. They spend $300K to hire consultants for “Visions”, but the city’s infrastructure is completely crumbling.
Why was the cop in a car instead of walking, where he would be of good use managing drunks on the street? What reasonable investigative technique has you running all the license plates near a bar scene?
I’ve had only bad experiences with cops in my life, either as victim or normal guy trying to follow the law. I automatically distrust them.
When the last cop back-shot a crazy guy who was walking away from her, and then was whitewashed by the cops and the media, I lost all respect for Tacoma’s cops. They’re just the most well armed gang operating under color of authority.
I dunno... If you’re lying in the street at 1:20a.m., maybe you should expect someone might run over you.
