>>1657931I once saw this crazy black homeless-looking dude menacing people with a large bowie knife in downtown Seattle while waiting for the E line after I had a doctor appointment.
While I was waiting he walked around, cursing at other random people and mumbling, then wildly slashing the knife in the air while making threats.
Keep in mind that while this was happening everyone in a 50' radius was calling 911 on this dude, and huddling together in packs while I was mentally shitting bricks, and getting ready to fight for my life.
Thought for sure when the police got there that this dude was going to get shot and dropped, but instead it was just some white officer and and asian officer who seemed to know the fucker on a first name basis, and they just walked over, asked him if he was making threats, and when he said yes they took him into custody and put him in the back of their police cruiser.
Needless to say, but I've never rode the E line again since this event.
