Panel: Seattle Police should apologize for violent protest response

April 18, 2023

SEATTLE - The Seattle Police Department should "offer a sincere, public apology" for its violent response to people demonstrating after the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, a panel of officers, citizens and accountability experts concluded in a report released Tuesday.

In its fourth and final review of the Seattle police response to the months of racial justice protests in 2020, the city's Office of Inspector review panel found officers and commanders repeatedly failed to recognize the difference between the throngs of protesters exercising their First Amendment rights and the few troublemakers, The Seattle Times reported.

Panelists — who included community members, police accountability proponents, and police officers and commanders — also acknowledged the "longstanding trauma and fear" many have of law enforcement as a result of racism and discrimination within the department.

Seattle police were criticized for not going into the Summer of Love CHOP zone, too.

Seattle police are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

The time has come for all White men of military age to apologize to the Learned Elders of Zion for failing to enlist in the Armies of ZOG to fight their White Brothers in Russia.

Failure to enlist is anti-Semitic, racist and in direct opposition to the Jewish agenda.
