Agreed! But there is always the exception such as the reported incident on the Edmonds FISHING PIER where an Edmonds PD officer and WDFW's Officer Kim were called to break up a disturbance. Seems one member of a large group of Christmas carolers on the FISHING PIER took exception to a squidder's generator and tried to turn it off.

With the overwhelming LE response saner heads prevailed apparently without bloodshed and neither party wanted to press charges. Guess that was the Christmas spirit prevailing.

I hope Officer Kim counseled the caroler that the caroler committed a violation of the law by interfering with a legal fishing activity. Not quite PETA but a violation none the less.

No, not all calls are high risk. Some are just people being people.



After watching that news feed of Officer Kim trying to shoot a coyote at 20 yards a few years back that's a fortunate thing smile. After about 20 rounds the poor thing was like kill me already smile
