This lawsuit never should have been brought. I'm glad it's finally over. Cops have to have thick skin. Too many don't.

Officer defamation suit against ex-Seattle Councilmember Sawant dismissed

The two Seattle police officers were undercover when he opened fire and killed Che Taylor in 2016. Then-councilmember Kshama Sawant called it a "brutal murder."

Adrian Diaz was the wrong person to lead Seattle PD. He might've been personally a "good guy" but he was going to lead as "one of the boys".

Medic One drives the speed limit for safety. Every time they went to my grandfather's because of a heart attack, they did not drive 74 MPH. Every time they took him to the hospital they did not drive 74 MPH.

There's a culture problem at Seattle PD, but there's also a leadership problem.

#SeattlePD Officer Daniel #Orderer gave a false statement to the public, attempting to frame what was heard in the bodycam video was probably what the city attorneys would say.

Lying is hard. It takes energy, and creativity, and a good memory, and a measure of logic.

A Seattle police union leader Daniel Auderer laughed when told 23-year-old graduate student Jaahnavi Kandula, who was hit by a cop speeding to a scene, was dead. Then Auderer called her life of "limited value" and repeatedly laughed throughout a conversation he had about the incident. I feel ill after reading this. This man never should have passed the psych exam. (Of course, also true of many cops on duty.)

Police union leader said woman killed by Seattle officer ‘had limited value’ — Guardian US

Daniel Auderer denies wrongdoing, claiming he ‘intended the comment as a mockery of lawyers’

Cops are investigating a cop who, during his investigation of another cop who had hit a pedestrian while going *74mph* in a 25mph zone, said, "She was 26 anyway. She had limited value." At this point, they didn't even know whether the victim would survive or not.

There is no reforming an occupying force that sees the public who pays their lavish salaries and perks as disposable trash without value.
