These failures, she says, have turned Seattle into a playground for anarchists and criminals. “If you haven’t noticed, the criminals are running the city.”
"After 23 years of serving the public, Seattle police lieutenant Jessica Taylor hung up her badge on August 1st to head off for retirement. She reportedly filled out the standard exit interview questionnaire, but that wasn’t enough for her. She included a blistering 15-page letter along with it. The letter was addressed to Police Chief Adrian Diaz, but she also directly singled out the Mayor of Seattle, Bruce Harrell, and the entire City Council. She called the council members “absurd,” referred to Mayor Harrell as “spineless,” and described Chief Diaz’s “failed leadership.” Seattle, she said, has hit rock bottom in this vacuum of strong leadership and self-destructive priorities, leaving the city as a “laughing stock” for the nation and the world. And then she got down to specifics. (Western Journal)
“Chief Diaz, let me tell you, the state of the Seattle Police Department and this city is a disgrace,” she wrote in the letter. “The toxic mix of the Seattle City Council’s absurdity, the spinelessness of the Mayor, the leniency of the prosecutor’s office, and your failed leadership has accelerated this city’s downhill slide straight to rock bottom. The problems were already brewing before you came on the scene, but since your arrival, it’s been a free fall into anarchy & chaos.”
The retired officer added that extremist city officials have “lost touch with reality, making decisions that defy common sense and basic logic.”
“Their priority is playing politics and pandering to radical ideologies rather than genuinely serving the city’s and its residents best interests,” Taylor said of council members.
