Seattle chief of police said in a Monday night video that she wants residents to call 911 if called racist names during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Washington state is no place for hate. In a show of solidarity between police and community, I'm joined today by Lori Matsukawa," Chief of Police Carmen Best said, referring to the retired KING 5 news anchor who joined her in the video. "Hate crimes have no place in our community," Matsukawa continued. "We're better than that, Washington. We're 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."

CORONAVIRUS: WHAT TO KNOW Chief Carmen Best ✔@carmenbest Washington State is no place for hate. In a show of solidarity, @LoriMatsukawa joined me to remind everyone that hate has no place in our community. Report hate, including racist name calling, to 911. We are here to help, and will respond to investigate. #WeGotThisSeattle
"Exactly," Best said as the video cut back to her. "We will document and investigate every reported hate crime. Even racist name-calling should be reported to police. We take this information very seriously. If aren't sure if a hate crime occurred, call 911. We are here to help and will respond to investigate." "When we work together," Matsukawa said. "We're safer together," Best said, finishing her sentence. As the coronavirus pandemic has infected more and more Americans, there's been an uptick in incidents of bias against Asian-Americans who say they are being blamed for the coronavirus, which originated in China.
The message to Seattle citizens that they should call 911 because of racist name-calling comes as Washington has the seventh most confirmed coronavirus cases of any state

One of the very rare times I ever agreed with the ACLU was when fmr Natl Dir. Norm Seigal said that in reality the 1A protects UNPOPULAR speech. Also Abe Foxman of B'Nai B'rith said the best way to deal with "hate speech" is to challenge it with MORE speech.

Only dyed in the wool libtards could possibly be concerned with “racist names” and other libtard made up “problems” when people are dropping dead all around them. Just goes to show how mentally ill these idiots are.

Carmen Best is the affirmative action poster girl for Havana on Puget Sound. She and her ilk have ruined a once fine city.

A friend of mine refuses to play Chinese checkers. He says he just doesn’t like the game. But I don’t think that’s it. I think he is a degenerate racist. I am going to report him to the Seattle police.

If someone calls you a racist, then report them. Calling someone a racist is racist.

Tucker Carlson had on the Congressman who represents that district in Washington. He did a terrible job at trying to pin him down on whether or not he felt that calling 911 to report language you don’t agree with was more important than keeping the residents safe. One of Tucker’s worst interviews. But at least he reported on the despicable behavior of the libtard police chief.

Never been to Seattle. I hear it smells a lot like Portland.

The broad masquerading as any kind of law enforcement officer has more important things than this. She obviously doesn't understand her job. Obviously totally unqualified. So she's creating a diversion since she has no idea what she's supposed to be doing.
