Police swarm bar after man's comment about cop

Haw-haw!

Perhaps the suspect didn't say a thing, and the 'witnesses' had it out for him? 

Just being devil's advocate, there.  Just to say that this situation is a hotbed of tension, everywhere.  I certainly hope the real killer, whether this guy or not, is caught soon. 

He's probally just a jacka$$, with a loud mouth..

I don't think the police overreacted, considering all that has happened he got what he deserved.

I wonder if this much attention will be placed on every person that gets shot while sitting in there car.

I think SPD is doing there job. What is lame is all you people that do not care. There is no over reaction at all. If somebody says a peep about a police officer even referencing a negative comment at this moment they will take you out. First if you make a comment in a bar shooting off your mouth to look cool you get what you deserve. SPD is not going to f around. They are on a man hunt. What Downtown Seattle needs is better Security Cameras like big brother. I would vote on a Security Bill for Seattle. The world is a Vampire and we need more protection. Anyone committing a crime is going down. I have a family and so does half of the normal people in Seattle. Anyone who has a negative comment on Police doing their job is guilty of being just as big of a jack a$$ as the guy who made the comment. I hope Seattle Police crack down on this loser. You do not joke around like that. And if the kid in the bar made up that about him, I hope they prosecute his dumb a$$. No over reaction. This is just the beginning. SPD is on a man hunt. People in Seattle that are out fing around deserve what they get. My thoughts go out to the Officers family. My god help SPD find this %rick.

LET THE HUNT BEGIN

I sincerely hope this lead and this man is the one responsible or at the very least "knows" something or is involved. Of course our officers are responding with vigilance. This murder was not only an attack on a well respeceted police officer but it was and is a threat to our country and our immediate area. Yes it got "media" attention and not all killings and murders do. However not all murdered people risk their lives daily to try and keep the rest of us safe from that very thing and more. I personally know this man as more than a police officers in fact as a husband, father and devoted family man. I don't think the SPD is "trigger" happy BUT they mean to catch the person responsible and give the family closure on this senseless and outrageous crime! I hope they do and it won't hurt my feelings if they do put him away for life. He has forever changed the lives of many and deserves what he gets.

Today however is our place to mourn the loss of a husband, father, family man and a brother to many in his profession. To understand the depth of the loss that this family is and will continue to endure.

No disrespect to the SPD for doing their job the best they can, but in hindsight it does seem like an overreaction. In all honest, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT the killer would be foolish enough to mouth off now that the Seattle Police are on the hunt for him. But it was a pretty tactless thing to say in a time like this when the Cops are particularly trigger happy. So people, take heed: Better keep your mouth SHUT about Officer Brenton and the Seattle Police unless you want to end up like this man did.

Did they get the guy?
