Make no mistake about it Kerlikowske (we call Girliekowski) is a Liberal and a failure as a Police Chief. During the Mardi Gras riots in Seattle he ordered the police at the scene not to intervene, instead told them to maintain a perimeter around the violence, supposedly because he feared escalation. Shortly after the incident, the Seattle police force voted a resolution of “no confidence” in Chief Kerlikowske when officers complained of being “held back too long”.
The result was a young man was killed by thugs who beat him to death, while the Police stood by.
Google Seattle Mardi Gras Riots and read more on the event and the critisim by his own officers for the orders he gave that night.
I thought that was Norm Stamper who was in charge of the Seattle PD during the Mardi Gras riots.
Kerlikowske is as guilty as the rioters who murdered that young man.
I can’t remember this brave kids name, but he was coming to the aid of a young lady. She was having her clothes pulled off by rioters.
The rioters beat him to death with a skate board.
Kerlikowske and the mayor were watching this happen from the top of a building while this was going on.
The cops were eager to go into the crowd of rioters to get the punks. But Kerlikowske and the mayor refused to let the cops do their duty and held them back while the kid was beaten to death in front of cameras.
Rank and file Seattle Cops hate this SOB.
