Seattle Gets a Female Police Chief

The Seattle Police department had been mandated by the US Dept of Justice to change their ways so they stop shooting so many brown people under the flimsiest of pretexts.  To usher in that change, the SPD got a new chief today, Kathleen O’Toole.  Ms O’Tooole has an incredibly impressive resume of local and international law experience.  Seattle Times bio here.

I am grateful that is becoming less acceptable for the guardians of the rich to go around shooting poor people of color.  The 1% have already taken their wages, they can at least spare their lives.

  1. I pray this woman and chief of police gets it that anyone walking down a street on the way home from a minimum wage job or job(s) did not jack some all night place they picked up a morsel of food to sustain themselves until their bus is coming around..Why is it in big cities people of color seem to get the shaft and white people commit most of the robberies, murders and rapes? they are the most people in federal prisons and prisons white people...Maybe this person will put an end to race and hatred, I doubt it but really what can the lady do? she is bound by a lot of many laws in a Philadelphia Lawyer would have a hard time deciphering, but it is a START!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good day, the sun is about to show itself for memorial day oh,my goodness sakes some sunshine amidst the cool and damp and cloudy days, he makes me want to jump and down and shout HIP HIP HOORAH!
