In response to Mayor Mike McGinn's statements bemoaning the fact that most cops don't live in Seattle ("It's hard to have a good local police force that isn't local," McGinn said in his state of the city speech on Tuesday), Jonah Spangenthal-Lee at SeattleCrime.com is running a series of letters from police officers about why they do or don't choose to live in the city.

Today's is from an officer who does live in Seattle despite the fact that he's been stalked off duty and confronted at home and in public by people he's arrested.

Read yesterday's installment here. And if you're a cop and want to tell Jonah why you do or don't live in the city, email him here .

Meanwhile, I (surprise) took issue with McGinn's statement in a Cola post yesterday.
