    Carmen Best, the Seattle police chief, emailed her resignation notice to police officers in the department late Monday hours after the City Council made good on its promise to approve sweeping proposals that would cut about 100 officers and slash the department’s budget.

    Best’s email, which was obtained by Jason Rantz, a radio host in the city, said that her retirement will be effective Sept. 2.

    This is really sad. The city council did this right after a huge back the blue rally in Seattle by the silent majority there. The city council openly sided with Antifa and BLM against their own population.

    The police chief did the right thing in protesting this capricious city councils action.

    Cops and cop lovers love a police state. It seems that she was ticked off because the local bigwigs have gotten tired of paying out large settlements for the thug cops bad behaviors. Good riddance. Hope the next chief will control the thug cops.

    Great.

    I guess it is time for Seattle to get a new police chief who makes Bill Connor look like St. Francis.

    Time to clean up the town.:salute:

    Brandi Kruse, a reporter for Q13 Fox, tweeted that there is a press conference set for 11 a.m. Tuesday. She said two sources told her that the announcement is imminent.

    The City Council also cut Best’s roughly $285,000 annual salary and the pay of other top police leaders

    She was the police chief who impressed me the most during the widespread leftist violence and looting that is still ongoing at least through Trump's re election.

    She stood up for her fellow officers, to the leftist hoards that run the city. She stood up to the mobs that surrounded her home.

    And she was the first black female to run the Seattle PD-so much for that famed leftist "equality".

    The city council tried to make her fire white police officers to cut the budget. That's not only illegal but against department policy that required the newest hired officers to be laid off first.

    The city council did not like that because many of the newest hired were "diversity hires" meaning more minorities would be let go first.

    The racist, communist hoards that run the city, and terrorize the city through violence decided the black woman had to go.

    I sincerely hope she enjoys her retirement. She deserves it. May she move into the country and put that craphole in her mirror. It's only downhill from here for Seattle.

    The politicians calling for defunding the police should begin with their security details. If it’s good for me then it’s good for thee.

    One of the most ridiculous responses ever made on this forum. Thanks for proving every time I think something cannot be dumber, someone always steps in to prove me wrong.
    This lady is a class act and trying to protect the "normal" people left in that city. She did the right thing in standing up for what she believed her job to be.
    Responses like yours is exactly why we need more people like her on police forces all across America.

    Another disgusting display by liberal politicians! Defunding the police! They all should stand trial for treason! Traitors to the American people.

    Good luck.

    Atlanta just fired their interim police chief after their actual chief quit. Their current interim chief is also the chief of the prison system in ATL.

    Here in Louisville, I believe we've had two or three police chiefs cycle in and out over the last year or two.

    Nobody wants that job, so you're going to get less qualified individuals who need a career bump.

    I wish her well. Resignation was her only course of action.

    I think that's the goal-I suspect the democrats want a weakened police force that is less likely to stand up to democrat leaders.

    If positions are transiently filled-thats easier for them.

    She can do none other. They've cut her arms and legs off.

    They don't want a police force that apprehends criminals; rather, they want a police force that will apprehend people who say politically incorrect statements, that is, an new enforced gulag archipelago

    Not a fact or rational thought to be found.

    Why would you post something that is such nonsense? I know you are aware that it is nonsense. Is pushing a political agenda that important to you?

    SEATTLE: TOO WOKE FOR A BLACK FEMALE POLICE CHIEF. Seattle’s First Black Female Police Chief Resigns After Council Caves to BLM; Reporters Note Irony.

    [​IMG]

    Thanks to the Seattle City Council’s Monday vote to cut her salary and gut the police department, Police Chief Carmen Best is resigning, effective September 2nd.

    In an effort to appease radical “Black Lives Matter” activists, the City Council chose to show their support for diverse black voices by punishing one for expressing her disagreement.
