These officers are disgusting, we put the wrong people in jail way too much
The messages in which officers Daniel Valencia and Matthew Stewart strategized their reports were part of a longer string of texts that started one hour and 14 minutes after they’d killed Joshua Musselman from more than 100 feet away as he was fleeing into his apartment.
‘I’m hoping we hit him at least once each lol’: SPD texts from 2024 killing show lack of probable cause
In messages, SPD officers hoped they inflicted maximum damage when they shot Joshua Musselman, mocked the police chief’s response to the killing.

Most of the commentary about this concentrates on how it's just an asshole move. And it definitely is. But it's also a violation of ADA

TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.
