Keep in mind this disrespect came from the police chief, almost certainly under orders from the Marxist mayor.
Individual officers may choose to attend anyway.
I hope lots of cops do attend. I only read the posted excerpt, but it sounds like the chief just rescinded the email to distance himself.
It would be cool if the former chief attended. (Female and black - resigned when the city council wouldn’t let her do her job).
BTW - over 200 Seattle cops have quit since last summer. I guess that takes care of the council’s defunding problems for them.
