Alice Dubiel 🔬💉🦠😷🌬☮️What a racket! What are meant as sick leave insurance policies are now routes for public funds to be channeled to SPD and reduce availability of police officers. Perhaps more “use it or lose it” is necessary in SPOG contracts instead of current agreements. Thanks to Erica C Barnett, again!

nullagentAnd of course the very next day the Seattle police union put out an aggressive statement indicating that they have no plans to actually support anyone oppressed by or protesting ICE.
They even cast shade on the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
You can typically count on SPOG to lead a work stoppage in protest at some point. They're also likely to sue in court (to delay) anytime they are told to do something they don't like.

Comforting guidance for Seattle police but not residents. So just who do we call for assistance and protection when ICE breaks the law? Looks like mutual aid or “you’re on your own!”

SPD starts the New Year out right! As repressive actions by currently out of town for the holidays Chief Barnes continue and further drains to the budget of hiring bonuses. There’s a lot of work ahead to overcome bigoted SPD priorities.

"the initiative would give police power to arrest people who fall asleep in public"
So there's a fucked up ballot initiative coming that wants to make existing at all as a homeless person a jail-able offense.
It's sponsored by non-other than the Seattle police union (aka SPOG) and is a power grab to give useless cops an easy way to pack prisons.
Don't sign this bullshit initiative.

Op/Ed [Elected body that will - do the math - absolutely approve the SPOG contract] must vote down the SPOG contract!
Rinck: N
Foster: N
Lin: N
Hollingsworth: Y
Rivera: Y
Juarez: Y
Kettle: Y
Saka: Y
Worm: doesn't matter
This sort of Op/Ed annoys me. I know I should just get over it. I know it serves a purpose.
Let's maintain pressure on Mayor-elect Wilson!
Op-Ed: Seattle Council Must Reject Harrell’s Police Guild Contract, Demand Accountability » The Urbanist
# Seattle's proposed police union contract once again fails to deliver even the meager reforms and accountability promised eight years ago, opines Howard Gale. With Seattle City Council set to vote on the contract this month, here's the case for rejecting it.
SSFC KDT 💚💙⚽🌹💻🍺✌The Seattle Police Officers Guild is suing the Seattle Police for being slow as fuck with records requests. 🥴
This all stems from an SPD policy where if you make more than one records request they will group and process your orders one at a time, each taking possibly months or years.
Which I for one am extremely happy to see the SPOG helping us cop watchers have more tools to expose the bad behavior of SPOG members 😅
