Seattle Police Stand Down

  • In an email to her officers, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said not to risk their personal safety during protests because the Seattle City Council has taken away the traditional tools of crowd control.

    It’s a statement that goes beyond just her officers. It’s a signal to what might happen during schedule protests beginning on Saturday. The protests are in solidarity with the demonstrators who are battling with federal agents on the streets of Portland.

    But unlike Portland, Seattle is currently under a court order by U.S. District Judge Richard Jones that prevents the use of chemical and kinetic crowd control methods such as tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets until Sept. 30.

    [...] Because of the ban and the court order, the Chief told her officers, “..we are significantly adjusting our deployment plans for all upcoming major events, including this weekend.”

    She writes the department “will continue to address life safety incidents and calls for service”. But she also told her officers, “ I want to be clear that I will never ask you to risk your personal safety to protect property without the tools to do so in a safe way.”
Coming soon to a city near you.

Let them do what they want with impunity to those who support this bullshi%.
We all know when it will stop, when they decide to come to certain areas of deplorable people who cling to their bibles and guns and aren't going to fuc% around.
Then it will stop at a screeching halt.

Policing IS changed in this country, and hopefully for the better. No more harass and collect. No more looking the other way when cops AND politicians are dirty, and with God's help we return to operating on warrants...leading straight to trials, convictions and heavy prison sentences for all guilty criminals.

Lets all come together for positive growth, where we all agree to live by the SAME rules, with the same punishments and same rewards!

So getting trained on a specific department approved techniques is illegal now. So policing is or will be illegal too. Do judges get unemployment benefits since they won’t have any cases to try after no one gets prosecuted (except for us of course). Keep stopping shitheads you idiots. It’s worth it right?

Federal judge blocks Seattle law banning crowd control weapons as city braces for tumult

July 24, 2020 at 10:05 pm Updated July 24, 2020 at 10:51 pm

In an emergency hearing Friday night, a federal judge blocked Seattle’s new law prohibiting police from using tear gas, blast balls and similar weapons, even as it was scheduled to go into effect Sunday and as the city awaits a potentially tumultuous weekend of protests with federal agents in the area.

From the article,

"Seven of the nine council members have publicly endorsed defunding SPD up to 50 percent. The two that have not endorsed a 50 percent defunding, Council Members Debra Juarez and Alex Pederson have said that a 50 percent threshold seems arbitrary.

Last week, protesters came marching to their homes."

Mob intimidation. In the good old days, the Sheriff met them in the street and told them he would shoot the first two dead with his shotgun and go from there.

Here in Seattle, the police will just watch as they break in and set the home on fire.

"If federal forces do intervene, Durkan said she’s prepared to do everything in her legal power to limit their actions. "These are unusual times," she said. "And the federal government is acting in ways that I’ve never seen in my lifetime."

The Seattle Mayor, City Council and the police are the only ones acting in ways never seen. The local Government Officers are the ones refusing to keep the peace, arrest the rioters, vandals and arsonists. If they did their fucking jobs according to their fucking oaths, the feds would be happy to stay far, far, away.

The judiciary is a big problem in this country right now. The left has a list of properly indoctrinated judges on speed dial, ready to make a ruling or grant an injunction on any issue at hand. Reasonable minds hopefully find an appellate judge to counter that decision. And on and on it goes. Everything can't go all the way to the Supreme Court. If so, somebody wake up Ginsburg and Breyer. President Trump needs to win, if only to be able to appoint another (or 2) judges to the high court. Also, Roberts is turning out to be a disaster.

Left to defend the City Council’s law was David Perez, attorney for Seattle’s Community Police Commission.

---Perez accused the Justice Department, under President Donald Trump, of using the consent decree,--- which was put into place after the police department routinely engaged in excessive use of force and showed evidence of biased policing, - - - for its own political ends.---



Cause Democrats NEVER do that.

Neck restraints are now taboo and even criminally illegal in some states. Grabbing someone around the neck while your are wrestling with them is a far cry from a " choke hold". Anyone who has been in a viscous fight knows that if you cannot grab the thug around the neck, and you are alone or there is even two of you and he is a strong fighter, it is not going to go well for you. I watched that video of the fight in the Wendy's lot in Atlanta. If those officers could have grabbed the idiot around the head or neck, it probably would have saved his life. There are very few incidents of people dying from a neck hold. I do not want to hear the opinion about use of non lethal force from anyone who has never been in a knock down drag out fight .

We're aren't allowed to police anymore. The use of force tools on our belts are criminalized. Hands are handcuffed. Our Federal brothers and sisters have been permanently blinded by high powered laser rioters use on them. Rioters are released within 2 hours of being detained. Charges dropped at the state and Federal level. This is coming from my family member on the Fed side fighting the good fight currently in Seattle. The media aren't showing you the savage behavior of these "peaceful rioters". Neither Trump nor anyone gives a shit as long as it ain't their health, sight, hearing, or well-being being affected.

I thought they hated police and guns? Guess not when their personal safety is concerned. You can also include Lightfoot in that. All these Libtard Mayors who are kissing these anarchist, gestapo jagoffs asses are going to get it rammed right back up their stankey asses when they say we don't need Mayor's anymore we are going replace the with Warlords.

Ethical police are leaving the job, others are being arrested for justified actions and the replacement polizei will be the kind that are like minded to Dem Socialist politics, easily controlled to carry out der orders. Fundamental Transformation and the shadow government was prepping 12 or more years.

The destruction is to continue through the November election, the real trouble to come after the President’s Re-election.
Surely a major Fed crackdown will follow and Democrat cities will be giving away some very expensive concessions (beyond removing White male statuary) to quell the violence from unwashed, unemployed.

IMO policing changed for the worse when the officer’s activity was used as a determining factor if the officer was “good” in the eyes of supervisors. You got 3 curfews last week?? Now they demand 4. Only 2 means you’re a dog. You wrote 10 movers last month?? We now want 15. If you don’t, there’s no way you’re getting time sue approved.
It led to thousands upon thousands of “thirsty” arrests, Parker’s, movers and ANOVS. And thirsty bullshit turns everyone against the police

The Seattle Mayor tried to block the stupid and dangerous law, but like all things Seattle Democrat, fucked up totally:

Judge "Robart had slapped down an attempt by Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best, earlier this week, to block the new law. In that order, he criticized the legal approach the city had taken and said it had not attempted to meet the burden necessary to issue an injunction."

Once again, the EVIL TRUMP and his evil feds had to save the Seattle Democrat Asses:

"U.S. District Judge James Robart granted a request from the federal government to block the new law, which the Seattle City Council passed unanimously last month."

"The U.S. Department of Justice, citing Seattle’s longstanding police consent decree, argued that banning the use of crowd control weapons could actually lead to more police use of force, leaving them only with more deadly weapons."

That Damn Trump and his Attorney General is out there protecting the police and the safety of the demonstrators.
