- Lots of drunk people, street people, stoned people--sometimes all three at once
- As we drove by Westlake looking for an escaped shoplifter, the street kids saw me in the patrol car and started yelling "snitch in the front seat"
- I saw a dead guy OD'ed on heroin in Pioneer Square, naked from the waist up, medics frantically trying to bring him back
- One time, we slammed through downtown, lights and sirens, down one way streets and through red lights, and it was the bomb
- And damn do cops get hit on. A lot. In person, in The Stranger, you name it.
