Mayor Harrell is not showing proactive leadership. Harrell should have been monitoring these types of problems every year during the SPD chief's annual evaluation.
While I'm glad the Mayor acknowledged SPD has "institutional" problems, I never heard him use any words like "transparency" or "accountability", or training our cops to be better police (not just paying them more). Let's not have another 20-yr, $20M Seattle feasibility study, just to figure out, "Gosh! We should do something!"
Yes, wasn't that a swift move when the previous Seattle City Council decided it was the wisest thing to "defund the police" right after the CHOP/CHAZ riots, cutting Chief Carmen Best's salary and staff. Was it any surprise that she resigned? The black female police chief! How many of those exist around the U.S.? I'm sure she's enjoying a much better quality of life now as a published author.
I really think that there has to be something keeping the four women working to recruit more women into the field they say they are harassed...while they are snitching. Is it the money? If so, maybe they could just volunteer to recruit new policewomen.
Seattle hired Carmen Best in 2018 bc the US Justice Dept was about to bring the hammer down on Seattle PD for consistent discrimination against female victims. She began to turn things around and get the Justice Dept off Seattle's back. But Carmen Best left in 2020 when the Seattle PD was defunded.

The Chief is NOT THE PROBLEM. !!! He was handed an absolutely horrible situation created by the City Council’s idiotic defunding campaign 😢
We need to move on. This is a hold back

The FBI should get involved
The FBI are you out of your mind. Why yes you are you’re from Seattle.
Why in the hell would you want corrupt FBI
Why in God's name would they call the FBI?
Male dominant. Y'all have guns. Haha. Some men are so dated in mind and thought. Seattle is about equality. This is surprising to even hear.
Great… a woke consultant… more taxpayer money wasted.
End qualified immunity immediately
