My co-worker almost got killed/slamed into at 65th and 24th a short while ago by a BMW trying to outrun the law going westbound on 65th! He ran right through the intersection with cops right behind him.
Anybody have any info? Silver?

offlineMemberI tuned in as soon as a police car went by my house at a high rate of speed headed east on 80th.
Sounds like it started as a car prowl then there was a hit-and-run, and another person (possible accomplice or hit and run victim?) in a Durango smashed into a building before taking off. Both vehicles (BMW & Durango) sped up 24th @ 'approximately 90mph', with police pursuit. Pursuit was called off after BMW turned east on 85th. The Durango may have severe enough front-end damage that it may be abandoned somewhere in the neighborhood. One vehicle may have lost the license plate and a call has gone out for all dashcam video that may have the BMW and that suspect on it. Witness thinks they can positively ID the female suspect, and officers are pretty sure they know the male (awaiting dashcam video to verify) from previous contacts with him. County has been notified to pick up either one if they see them in Shoreline or north.

A bit presumptuous, imo. We don't even know it was 'His'/'Her' car(s).
Anyway, SPD seems to know all of these idiots, and will watch helplessly as they are released yet again.
Now, that could be called presumptuous as well, but at least it's worth presuming...

offlineMemberThere was all the bumper debris and the front license plate still attached to that part of the bumper.
So, ider, yes, we do know.
This makes even more sense now that two vehicles were involved in this (beside the car that was hit at 22 &60). The first officer on scene called it, the vehicle make, when he saw the bumper. I was right there on the corner when the hit car was moved and police showed up.

I find that 1der posts can be lucid, sometimes. But sometimes 1der posts seem PUI. Other times 1der posts are so far gone that they make anyone else's PUI posts look sensible.Posted 4 months ago # -

offlineMemberIt is hard to say SA. He could be questioning the sex or he could be questioning whether the driver was the registered owner of the car, or both (edited to add: i.e. stolen). Like I said, difficult to translate.

offlineMemberNot so difficult for Cate, as usual.
While our perspectives and opinions rarely intersect, you manage to translate the obvious fairly well. ty.
SA assumed facts not in evidence. I simply tried to rectify the errors.
Not my place, of course, my apologies. ;-)

offlineMemberIt's not political correctness; 1der was commenting on the fact that it was the car's license plate that was left behind, not the owner's (or the driver's). We don't know who was actually driving.
It probably wasn't the car's owner: most high-speed chases involve stolen cars driven by the thief.
In other words: when SA said "he left his license plate behind", 1der cautioned that "he" and "his" aren't necessarily the same person.

offlineMemberTrue, i have learned colloquial phrasing. I wasn't giving testimony.
lia, we don't know the initial reason for the chase and subsequent behavior. A letter carrier had noticed this durango on 24th speeding, then stopping. Perhaps looking for the police or the bmw? When I heard the crash, it was immediately followed by sirens, and I knew it was too soon to have been in response to the crash, so there was something else going on on 24th

offlineMemberI wasn't giving testimony either, fwiw.
I still feel compelled to say what is true as well as challenge needless assumptions.
Maybe, since you are well aware of "colloquial phrasing", you'll care to grace us with it in the future?

offlineMemberI don't use it very much, as most of my thought pattern is exact. I often find it difficult to decipher colloquialisms and expressions that are used in place of common speech. I have been chastised throughout my life for not understanding expressions. I will however, amuse you when I can.

...so, you don't understand common speech?
I must say, you've got quite the vocabulary going for you, maybe you just need to apply yourself.
"...most of my thought pattern is exact..."
...indeed.
