Off-duty officer accused of driving through crowd no longer works for Seattle police

I keep a good eye on local news, and yomammabeenloggin keeps me up to date too. I missed this however. Sounds likethe guy (not named) was stalking protesters in the area or lives in the area and was sighted a couple days before the incident (same car) and was reported to be shouting racial slurs at the CHOP protestors.

Another one bites the dust.
