The cops just drove off after I was violently & brutally assaulted by 2 LP officers (not for stealing; for mouthiness) in an attack that cracked my screen and possibly my neck??

Idk I’m all fuzzy. Can I get a journalist? 🤔

Well, they’re finally here, at least. I mean, they’re fully coordinating with the #QFC #LP guys to make this go away which I dont intend to comply with, but #SeattlePolice have so far been polite and ineffectual.

As uzh. They should put that on their cars & badges 😆

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Full credit, the cops punked me. I’ve got to give it up. I’ll post the video on the article I write tomorrow.

The cops abandoned me, bought candy from their friends at QFC and now they bounced leaving me to deal with my own assault myself. At the place I was assaulted with the guys who did it 😆

Refused to acknowledge #trans, kept saying sir, asked me multiple times what meds I was on (estrogen & spironalactone, idiots), then the last ‘Kevin’ w/ a wink

Fucking scumbag piece of shit firehouse bitch. Capt. Fleming. Note to self: remember that smug, worthless cunt 🤓

REALLY wish I’d recorded this part — CAPTAIN Fleming of the Seattle FD misgendered and dead-named me twice and then a third time after I told him don’t do it again WITH A WINK! He thinks he’s so fucking cute 😂

Cops finally made it. And paramedics. Now it’s a party. I have an 8 min video of me
Describing it to cops that is prob pretty fun 🤩

Do I know any #Seattle #reporters yet?

I was unlawfully assaulted by #QFC loss-prevention 2 hours ago and haven’t moved for evidentiary purposes and #SPD is steadfastly refusing to respond and keeps sending me passag texts about pushing timeline back.

#seattlewa

I’m at Mercer & Taylor. Like… 🤔

Just establishing a timeline here. I called again, had another LENGTHY 911 call that escalated the concern (in theory), & I’m still just sitting totally alone vaping in the spot I was assaulted as the 2 dudes that did it peek out from behind glass walls.

What’s up, #SeattlePD? 🤔

#Seattle #police

K. Cook & Cats, Co. @iamkaymichelle.bsky.social · 6h

Evidently a low priority for #SeattlePD. That’s all right. I’m not going anywhere. Take your time you as-usual worthless fucking pigs 😆

Update: after I 📲 back to escalate medical concern (ie paramedics now; fuck cops, who cares), #Seattle PD REINSERTED themselves & delayed paramedics again while not responding themselves

They’re trying to do their LP buddies a solid. But I’m not gonna let em! 🤓

You gotta work, #SPD, sorry, bud 😂

The moment where it seemed to turn, in their hearts & heads, from them gleefully bullying me to realizing they’re actually being bullied now was when I got flung in front of a white SUV that honked, and they said “you’re gonna get hit by a car!” And I said “Yeah & it’ll be YOUR fault, dumbfuck!” 😆

I’m having to wait, like, now 25m for the cops & paramedics while the cowardly LP guys that attacked me watch from inside the store, where they’ve retreated.

Clearly, my continued, persistent, on-phone presence unnerves them, & they’re right to feel that way 😂

Here’s my (and what will be my lawyer’s) main question:

If the stated mission is Loss Prevention, & I had no product on me, nor was stealing even an accusation on the table, why was I followed out of the store surreptitiously & assaulted?

I mean, the assault breaks down no matter what 🤣 idiots

I sarcastically asked the #QFC #LP ‘officers’ (deranged idiots, more like; #Kroger ought to be ashamed of themselves) if I were “under arrest” when they attempted to impede my movement, & their response was to say “Yes,” & when I said, “what charge, idiot? You’re not a #cop,” he threw me to ground

K. Cook & Cats, Co. @iamkaymichelle.bsky.social · 7h

I just goaded some #QFC #lossprevention goons into unlawfully attacking me outside of their employer (my specialty, #lol) and I’m waiting on #cops and #paramedics to come assist me in fucking their lives completely up 😂

My day just got way more interesting 🤩

I just took a walk w/ some acquaintances at a #sharedworkspace & commented that the #businessname #KiddieAcademy was unfortunate/regrettable, & a guy shot back, “Oh, you think they should have called it Kiddie School?”

… like, no, man. Academy was not the #problematic word. Obviously 😆

If you ever need to quickly tell the diff b/w 'and' & 'and/or,' just think of this handy reference:

It's the difference b/w:

#Hall&Oates
&
Hall and/or Oates

Now, do you want Hall & Oates for your daughter's bat mitzvah or Hall and/or Oates?

Trick Q. Neither, obv 😆

I don’t know if my ideal (or next) life-mate will enjoy dancing in the moonlight. I don’t even know whether I do, tbh, not sans-ecstasy, anyway 😅

I do know she had better like the #song #DancingintheMoonlight, though, bc I project to sing it to her CONSTANTLY 😅: music.youtube.com/watch?v=67CN...

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.
