Under the plan, the mayor will issue an executive order prohibiting civil federal immigration authorities from using city-owned and city-controlled properties.

      I don’t know a lot about gangs, but I’ve always been under the impression they really don’t like it when other gangs start making trouble on their turf.

        It’s an interesting situation. SPD has plenty of issues, but it’s very territorial over the people it’s abusing. I could see this potentially working out as planned.

        Potentially.

          @new_world_odor @CombatWombatEsq @seattle A friend who has been protesting for years downtown says she thinks SPD has been a little different in the last 3-4 months, not quite as asshole-ish & brutal as they have been. She’s still encountering some of the usual rat bastards in SPD with small dick/big gun syndrome, but they seem more restrained, & her feeling is that things have toned down a bit. Not sure if others feel the same - that’s just her impression - but it will def be interesting to 👀.

          Are they? It’s not like they usually have any competition.

        They quiet quit full-time during the BLM stuff, and part time for about 10-15 years before that. This wouldn’t be the first time.

                Seattle has the same thing. I think there were around 10 that made 400k from the overtime. The pay is horrific enough, but they weren’t even showing up.

    This should be the default in every city. Somehow these masked men with no badges keep killing people, finding out who the fuck they are and what they’re doing there should be automatic.
