Do you know this accused fake cop?
SEATTLE -- Seattle police are asking for the public's help finding a man suspected of posing a police officer and robbing people in Volunteer Park.
Detectives believe 46-year-old Ryan Purdy, who also goes by Tracy Byers, approached several people in the park in December, flashed a badge and then took cash and credit cards from the victims.
One victim told investigators that the man said he was an undercover officer and that he and his partner were conducting an undercover operation inside Volunteer Park. The victim believed the man and allowed him to remove his wallet and look at his driver's license.
While the robber looked at the victim's license, he told the victim to stay away from Woodland Park and the Arboretum as well due to ongoing police activity.
The victim did not realize until the next day at work that one of his credit cards was missing from his wallet and his bank made several calls informing him of possible fraudulent activity.
Anyone with information about Purdy is asked to call the Seattle Police Department's robbery unit at 206-684-5535.

Anderson Cooper?
Looks like Dave Reichert(Sp?) to me.
 @Mom33 Dave is now impersonating a Congressman.
This is why we need to get rid of "no-knock" warrants. We can' trust police to be able to forcibly break into people's homes if there are impostors out there.Â
@NWCoin Yes of course moron. There usually only one cop that shows up to do a search. Oh and you're right, they should knock and wait for the bad guy to flush his drugs and get his illegal firearms before answering the door.
 @Common Sense  @NWCoin Until they stop getting the wrong address and killing people who are reaching to turn on their lamps and figure out what is going on... YES!  Or do you prefer random people at the wrong address to keep getting murdered by SPD?
 @Common Sense  @NWCoin Here's KCSO, close enough.

Surprise suprirse, the world is not as safe as you want to pretend it is. Libtard.
@NWCoin Oh my does it hurt to be this dumb? Name one search warrant, executed by SPD in which someone was killed? Find one that the address is wrong? That's what I thought. You should probably sit in the corner or you'll hurt yourself.
If a lone plain clothes cop comes up on me First thing i asked for is a uniformed cop to show up to confirm he really a cop.
 @Seattle Yeah maybe with a cop car too so you really know.
Woodinville aka 9/11
I wonder why Volunteer Park, Woodland Park, and the Arb. Â What do all those parks have in common? Â Hmmm...I wonder. Â Help me understand. Â Maybe keggers!

Looks like Officer Purdy
He looks like a drifter or homeless. Will the media also please inform people that unless you are being caught in the middle of a drug deal or know you are a witness to a case and detectives have arranged a time to stop by and talk to you that the chances of a lone, plain clothes real cop approaching you in Seattle is just about entirely nil.Â
 @Citizen#3457899654 You said it.  If some lone, plain clothed guy comes up on me and says he's a cop, the first thing I'd be doing is whipping out my phone and calling 911 to confirm that there is indeed supposed to be a plain clothed cop there doing an investigation.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with calling to confirm this.
 @stamperzann  @Citizen#3457899654 You can get arrested for that in Seattle... SPD like "no" resistance, or you get beat down.
He looks like a ragged version of Anderson Cooper! ;-)
@The WA Mama Or Anderson Cooper on drugs.
