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 imperativeand 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."

King County is named after William Rufus King, a former VP during the 1800s
I remind everyone here of that fact... beware those PC socialists who try to rewrite history.
That would be “peckerwood honkey” to you boy!
Poor babies... the only ones in the world ever called a name...
“We are experiencing a critical shortage of Hate Crimes. Please help us overcome this disastrous drought of social justice, race baiting and hate mongering! Go out today and spray paint offensive slurs on you garage door, scratch swastikas in your car paint, hang nooses on your neighbor’s tree! Put on a mask and MAGA hat, and shout racial epithets at passers by! Above all, DIAL 911 and report this RACIST ACTIVITY! Operators are standing by”!

Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express the thought that we hate. Matal v. Tam, 582 U.S. ____ (2017).
What does that mean? If it’s something that will get you banned, just email it to me.
Lol!
“The sheriff is a ......”

Washington state made a huge politically incorrect goof on its COVID-19 web page yesterday.
They briefly revealed that the first positive test for COVID-19 in the USA - which occurred right here in metro Seattle - was a “person” who had returned from a trip to Wuhan, China.
I saw that yesterday morning while scanning my usual data pages, and when I went back to archive that page a couple hours later, that sentence had been removed!
Let me add a little perspective on this subject...
The Washington state COVID-19 website literally has several pages about “racism” and “stigma” being a completely unacceptable and harmful response to COVID-19.
However, the entire website makes NO explanation at all as to why people might have that response!
Instead, they conceal every ethnic detail about every death and every infection in the state.
Wont 911 operators be thrilled
I’m betting this dope has probably ordered the cops not to arrest people for actual crimes.
“I would like to see you in court.”
Why do you want to see me it court? She was put in by the activists in the city and supported and awarded by the same. She is more concerned with possible hate speech than protecting the citizenry against one of the worst crime areas in the country. If this is her answer to being a top cop, wasting time and money on peoples’ unproven opinion, then she has a real problem.
And if you even start to think I will call anyone in on hate speech, you are wildly wrong. They’ve got way too many problems for that being a priority. Re-read my post, you didn’t get the intent.

“.....vested interest in keeping it alive.”
It is a tool of politics. It will remain until it doesn’t get votes.

> Soooo I guess the virus is under control. Next problems.
Whew, I was afraid you were going to call it the Chinese Virus and I’d have to report you.
