Discrepencies

Here's the Reportage line. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2009327379_webraid11m.html

A few discrepancies with reportage on this story, as I heard the whole deal go down just outside my window.

First, when the police arrived they announced the raid over bullhorn. Specifically they announced the warrant was for 1019 East Pike st, an address that doesn't actually exist. They still served it on and arrested people within one particular apartment of 10** East Pike st, but what's a little paperwork?

The important thing is that people getting together in their private residences to play cards were arrested and their permanent records besmirched. Of course no police arrived the night prior, when 4 very clear gunshots were heard in the same parking lot (at about the same time of night, oddly). Sea PD, Keep up the good use of taxpayer money, we feel safer.
