………bad consequences follow, as the Other McCain notes
Stephen Green at Instapundit calls attention to a veteran Seattle police officer’s resignation letter:
“Their absurd policies have turned Seattle into a playground for anarchists and criminals, and they seem utterly unconcerned with the devastating consequences of their actions,” wrote Jessica Taylor, who joined the force in 1998 and resigned last week. “If you haven’t noticed, the criminals are running this city.”
Taylor refused to fill out a standard exit form and instead submitted the 15-page letter to chief of police Adrian Diaz, who she says “has brought this department and this city to its knees,” adding that the department “has transformed into a cesspool of corruption.”
Diaz and other city leaders prioritize “playing politics and pandering to radical ideologies rather than genuinely serving the city’s and its residents best interests,” Taylor said.
Taylor called Diaz a “vindictive, power-hungry individual,” telling him, “I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you.”
The letter comes amid rising crime in the city, Newsweek reported:A 2021 year-end crime report from the SPD shows that violent crime in the city rose by 20 percent, one of the highest levels in over a decade. At the same time, robberies rose by 18 percent and aggravated assaults by 24 percent. In 2022, the overall crime rate in the city grew by 4 percent compared to the previous year, with a 24 percent rise in homicide, a 4 percent rise in rape, and a 5 percent rise in aggravated assault, according to the SPD.
Play politics with crime, thugs, and innocent citizens, put common sense on the back burner, and this is what always results. GO READ IT ALL!
