ALT By Danny Westneat @ Seattle Times columnist Writing this column for two decades, one thing I've noticed is that nothing hacks some people off more than good news. This is especially true of good news about crime. Reports of falling crime are uniquely narrative-upsetting and denial-triggering. People who regularly cite police data when crime is rising simply do not accept this same data when it goes the other way. It's odd when these are the police themselves. But this is how I ended up in a Seattle police union video wearing an acorn on my head. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how crime finally appeared to be dropping this year, according to the police's own stats. As a result, I said that the Seattle Police Officers Guild ought to stop portraying Seattle as a lawless hellhole on its social media feed. The head of the union didn't appreciate the suggestion.
