And that's illustrated how in this case?
The probabilities involved here are so remote as to be ludicrous and utterly unbelievable. It only strengthens Seattle's ongoing reputation as the most corrupt city government in the US.

Did you even look at the pics?

You actually believe this could be some kind of coverup? Its one thing to distrust the government and generally side with the non-government position, but to cling to ridiculous conspiracies only serves to reduce one's credibility.

You see, you guys aren't allowed to fire at a suspect who's pointing a gun at you. For all you know it could be unloaded! You're killing an innocent, albeit idiotic, person!

I don't understand why the possibility of this being a "plant" even came up. Is there something fishy about the case? I didn't see any.

I've gone on a ridealong with the Seattle PD. If they have the sort of officers who would plant evidence, they must have been in a different precinct.

As a financial professional who read the details of the financial package for Seattle's (now failed) Monorail project, I cannot see how anyone could ever possibly trust that government again. There should have been indictments and convictions for that little attempt at predatory lending, not to mention the real estate corruption that was done on the side.

And hey, if you want to believe the probabilities here, you may as well believe the next dimebagger you apprehend who tells you that the bag ain't his. In the meantime, your position here is clearly biased. You've already proved here that you would believe in any magic if you thought it would get another cop off.

If you saw the evidence, did you do anything about it?

Did you read the rest of the story? It didn't go straight into the barrel. It hit one of the rounds in the cylinder. Explain to me how they could possibly fake that.

Who knows? How'd the City of Seattle fake the "magic ballots" in the 2004 gubernatorial election?
