Police said they responded to a hookah lounge on the 2200 block of Rainier Avenue South after receiving multiple 911 calls about a shooting around 4:25 a.m. And I don’t want to wait.SEATTLE (KOMO) - A mass shooting at a hookah lounge in south Seattle left three people dead and six injured Sunday morning. But what happens is, I have a feeling that sometimes it just gets summed up as gun violence. We talk about the amazing people in these grocery stores. Because we talk about the essential workers in our community. The toothpaste cannot be put back in the tube - we have a real problem. So here going forward, that parking lot at the Rainier Beach Safeway, needs police presence every single time so it doesn’t happen again. I’m sick and tired of these things happening in this community. More on Seattle Police: Seattle Police recruitment falls short as response times increase The conversations centered around ‘we don’t need police’ is because some of you sit there and just talk.Īnd when you’re done, you go back to your damn bubble. And you tell people, we don’t need police officers.Īin’t none of y’all at these kitchen tables sitting with Black folks talking about ‘you don’t need police officers.’ I have never heard anybody in a Black community say we don’t need police officers. You get on Twitter and you say these things, and you have this idea. All you want to do is sit here and talk about this. I am tired of a lot of you liberals out here.

They’ve partnered with community groups to host these events every week. They’ve implemented all of the defensive design elements suggested by the Seattle Police Department.

Your corsages for proms and all those things? How about the people who help with your cake for birthday parties? What about those back in the meat department? The florists are amazing people that help you out. And for some reason, I feel like they get forgotten. The employees at the stores are absolutely everything. And for some reason, when we talk about the store, the name of the store, it feels like we stop right there.Īnd the thing that does not get talked about, are the incredible people that keep that place going - keep any grocery store going. We often just talk about Safeway or Albertsons or where it happened. How about you? Would you show up to work after five people were shot.
