Council voted last night to cut the police department funding. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best was slated to have her pay cut 40%. Chief Best affirmed she was not in the position for the money, but felt the move demonstrated animosity towards her, and that she had a contract.

Good for her.

Finally.

Let no one else accept the position.

She speaks well, and was impressive in her interview.

She should move to another city that would love to have her.

Liberals ruin everything.

Maybe now Seattle can hire their first, HISTORIC transexual police chief, and even MORE historic, make it a trans minority.

The majority of the bullet points on the BLM website is about black LGBTQ+ rights.

Less impressive is her gun control position after her armed neighbors had to run BLM/Antifa demonstrators out of their neighborhood instead of letting them torch her house.

A popular black chief run out of her job for wanting to do it.

That’s Seattle.

Carmen Best... is the city's first Black police chief and the pay cut would put her salary well below her White predecessor.

How can they cut her pay if she’s got a good contract?

“Less impressive is her gun control position after her armed neighbors had to run BLM/Antifa demonstrators out of their neighborhood instead of letting them torch her house.”

Exactly! The chief of police had to rely on neighborhood “vigilantes’ to protect her property. How humiliating is that??

can’t get this video. it was on Hannity. search results say it is 1m55s, but I get just a black screen. it was a BLM protest outside a Chicago police station, calling for the release of the looting rioters. the Fox presenter - Tia Ewing - was black, but I only saw WHITE BLM protesters. hope the video works in the US:

btw they all looked like college kids aka Sunrise Movement. also, the police station was not in the CBD, but presumably somewhere more white! if anyone sees the video, please provide a report in case I got anything wrong.

The first domino topples with a resounding slam. It is not the tile itself, but the reverberations from the impact which set the second one to wobble with increasing intensity. It’s balance disturbed, it leans away toward the other; more closely set, tiles. The outcome is already determined. The process, once begun, is inexorable.
