Seattle Police Chief Tells People To Call 911 If They Hear 'Racist Name-Calling'
Reason ^ | 31 Mar 2020 | Robby Soave

Seattle's top cop may want to get her priorities straightened out. In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Police Chief Carmen Best used her most recent "chief's brief" update on the coronavirus crisis to urge residents to dial 911 if they are the victims of racist name-calling.

It's a time-wasting imperative—and one that's at odds with the First Amendment.

In her briefing, Best called upon the expertise of a former local news anchor, Lori Matsukawa.

"Hate crimes have no place in our community," said Matsukawa. "We are all trying to deal with the COVID-19 public health crisis together. If you are a victim of a hate crime or hate-based harassment, please call 911."

"We will document and investigate every reported hate crime," Best continued. "Even racist name-calling should be reported to police. If you aren't sure if a hate crime occurred, call 911. We are here to help."

Good for her! Rummy Fan,she is not near as stupid as those who put her in her position. By comparison, they make her appear to be a member of Mensa.

What will they do for the whites that have hate s’urs thrown at them.

Yeah, thought so. Same as what they do now.

End all hate crimes laws.

So I guess the President calling up the ready reserve is so that police departments can concentrate on responding to incidents of bad words and the military can do the real policing.

The social justice narrative has been replaced in the media by COVID 24/7. The Chief is just doing her part to keep it on life support.

Can we report it when leftists accuse Christians and conservatives of spreading the virus? When they call us “murderers”?

Anyone that doesn’t believe this person, like the rest of her fascist ilk, would load us onto boxcars, is delusional.

Keep your powder dry. This is a long way from over.

this affirmative action chief and her dyke mayor boss are horrible and worthless.. they can’t even keep downtown and the court house safe, petty crime is rampant

they need to open a line to allow up to drop dimes on illegals.

Seattle... actually, it seems like every other police commissioner and mayor in the country is a black lesbian.
