Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best will be resigning on Wednesday morning, following the city council voting to defund the police amid massive unrest.
The news of Best’s resignation came one day after dozens of businesses were looted once again.
On Tuesday evening after news of her resignation leaked, Chief Best emailed Seattle police officers explaining her decision.
“It was a difficult decision for me, but when it’s time, it’s time,” Best wrote. “I am confident the department will make it through these difficult times. You truly are the best police department in the country, and please trust me when I say, the vast majority of people in Seattle support you and appreciate you.”
Best said that the mayor has appointed Deputy Chief Adrian Diaz as the interim Chief of Police.
Q13 reports, “the council on Monday approved proposals that would reduce the police department by up to 100 officers through layoffs and attrition. Chief Best was vocal in her oppostion to the cuts, which came after councilmembers pledged to redirect money from SPD to community programs amid calls from protesters in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.”
They threatened to cut her wages to less than her predecessors who was white! I wonder how that settled on her! Not to well obviously! How does racism feel when it comes from the ones you support? Suck it up buttercup, it’s how the socialist / communist work! Now go find another city you can screw up with you’re liberal stupidity!
