Probe: Seattle cops improperly faked right-wing radio talk
AP (Associated Presstitutes) ^ | January 5, 2022

Posted on 01/05/2022 5:41:33 PM PST by Navy Patriot

Seattle police exchanged detailed fake radio transmissions about a nonexistent group of menacing right-wing extremists at a crucial moment during 2020 racial justice protests, an investigation by the city’s police watchdog group shows.

The radio chatter about members of the Proud Boys marching around downtown Seattle, some possibly carrying guns, and then heading to confront protesters on Capitol Hill was an improper “ruse,” or dishonest ploy, that exacerbated a volatile situation, The Seattle Times reported. That’s according to findings released Wednesday by the city’s Office of Police Accountability (OPA).

The Proud Boys is a far-right extremist group with a reputation for street violence and with several members — including one from a Seattle suburb — who have been charged with terrorism over alleged actions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

This is highly interesting, in more than one way.

This sort of thing helps to paint the Proud Boys as something
equivalent to ANTIFA. There was talk of the Proud Boys being
the ones who started all the fires in the riots.

That was totally B. S., but his false-flag fed into that sort
of belief.

I have no idea why this seemed like a good idea, slandering
a group of people who didn’t even exist (on site).

The AP should have to name a far left, extremist group.

Small wonder Antifa and BLM were able to terrorize Seattle with impunity. The cops there are screw-ups at best — and allies of the terrorists at worst.

story writer: "The Proud Boys is a far-right extremist group"

???? How do reporters get away with this slander? Is anyone allowed to be conservative without being labeled "extremist" or "far right" ?

One important very relevant takeaway from this story is the shameful ease with which law enforcement is willing to operate false flag operations.

Someone has been charged with terrorism for Jan 6th?

This was a little more than simply “misinformation”, it was an inflammatory lie in a very volatile environment that was deliberately intended to foment violence and frame a scapegoat. Nobody responsible is still around? No kidding...

Well, I sure don’t see a necessity for bringing up the
Proud Boys at all, unless to deflect blame from the real
culprits.

Were these officers sympathetic to the Leftist’s narrative?

There are bad apples in every walk of life.

Police departments are not made up of God’s angels.

Human beings screw up. Some of them are crooked.

“The Proud Boys is a far-right extremist group”

‘Far Right’, ‘extremist’. The same old Marxist crap from the Russian revolution. They’ve never stopped.

What is the valid Law Enforcement purpose of such fake transmissions?

I know little about the Proud Boys. I have the impression that when leftists show up to riot, and police are ordered to stand down by leftist politicians, that the Proud Boys show up to provide some much-needed pushback against anarchy. They don’t seem “far-right,” whatever that means, they seem very helpful.
