Seattle Police Promoted Violence

“At a crucial moment during 2020’s racial justice protests, Seattle police exchanged a detailed series of fake radio transmissions about a nonexistent group of menacing right-wing extremists. The radio chatter about members of the Proud Boys marching around downtown Seattle, some possibly carrying guns, and then heading to confront protesters on Capitol Hill was an improper ruse, or dishonest ploy, that exacerbated a volatile situation, according to findings released by the city’s Office of Police Accountability. The Proud Boys ruse was deployed at an incredibly tense moment. The murder of George Floyd had sparked more than a week of large-scale protests in Seattle, with the police barricading streets around the East Precinct and deploying tear gas. Later in June, two fatal shootings occurred. Mayor Bruce Harrell said the ruse had done immeasurable damage to public trust.”

“Immeasurable damage to public trust.”
That damage has been done to our trust in every one of our previously trusted institutions - not only in every arm of government, but in academics, scientists, doctors, corporations, and now police, thanks to the poisoning of them by the Left in their “Long March through the Institutions”.
