Washington - Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said Sunday the groundswell of support for implementing police reforms that has erupted in the weeks following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis indicates that there will be long-lasting changes to policing.
"This is a pivotal moment in history," Best said on "Face the Nation." "We are going to move in a different direction, and policing will never be the same as it was before."
**SNIP**
Best said protests are peaceful, but said it's been a challenge for her and other Seattle leaders to determine "who is a leader or an influencer."

They are now as useless on the mean streets as a young female schoolteacher for a green planet and against white privilege. When you are on the streets in these neighborhoods you are literally in the animal kingdom, they sense your weakness, predator and prey
Nine -- nine -- unarmed blacks were shot and killed by American police in 2019.
That means an unarmed black person in 2019 had much less than one chance in a million of being shot and killed by American police.
Does reality ever intrude into this lethal farce?
I cannot imagine the horror and uncertainty living in these liberal shitopias.
“Seattle police chief says “policing will never be the same as it was before”
How can it suck anymore now than it did before...in Seattle?
Shutting down the police and opening the prisons is a tried and tue classical Communist tactic for the takeover. When they have taken over then the prisons are filled up again until they get cleared out once more but this time by shooting prisoners.
...when it's OTHER people's stuff.
Especially after the fellow in Atlanta who grabbed the officer’s taser and aimed it at the officer- got shot for his trouble. Soon a black man dying drunk because he drives into a light pole will be occasion for riots. It is past time for the “whiff of grape.”
The light pole will be torn down for its racist conduct!
The bad guys now know where to move.
OVER WHAT?
A police officer doing his job!
Stop blaming the cops!
Don’t do drugs!
Don’t pass fake bills!
Don’t be a career criminal!
Don’t resist arrest!
Cops should all get the bluecoronavirus. Then see what happens to society.
How quickly will they want their police officers back?
This riot mess has exposed just how many incompetent police chiefs, mayors and governors we have in the United States. It’s quite a lot ! Who knew?
They’ll enforce traffic laws for the money.
I bet one thing will remain the same: defend yourself, your property, and your family with your own firearms - and the police and the state will come down on you like a ton of bricks.
