"De-escalation is really just good policing — it's good police work." This year Lynwood independently paid to provide de-escalation training to its officers. With Initiative 940, every officer in WA will get the same enhanced training, wherever they serve. https://t.co/EhBVNQj9Oz

Washington voters have decisively said YES to Initiative 940, YES to improved training, and YES to saving lives. #waelex https://t.co/utjummRJ6z

Thank you to our families, communities leaders, orgs, and law enforcement who have joined this movement and shown what we can do when we come together across all backgrounds and races – black, brown or white – to win commonsense reforms and make our communities safer. #YesOn940

"I called 911 because he was in crisis. I told the dispatcher Billy needed psychiatric help. Shortly after that a deputy arrived on the scene and it wasn't long before Billy - who was unarmed - was shot and killed." #YesOn940

"The police had been to her house on other occassions so they knew she had some mental health issues ... I feel that they could have used de-escalation to handle this situation so they wouldn't have had to shoot her." #YesOn940

[De-Escalate WA @Deescalatewa]

Losing his little brother was devastating. It was also a catalyst for change. The country is watching, & on Tues we can show it's possible to come together as a community regardless of background & race to make things better for families, communities, & law enforcement. #YesOn940

[De-Escalate WA @Deescalatewa]

"From the very beginning I just wanted the truth - that's what we wanted, was the truth." #YesOn940 requires fair and independent investigations when tragedies do occur, so families, communities, and law enforcement can have an impartial process.

“He was an all-around good kid. He was an all-star athlete, he was good in school, great at math, he was good-looking … I think if there were de-escalation tactics that were used in the case of my nephew that his life would've been saved.” #YesOn940

[De-Escalate WA @Deescalatewa]

No matter our differences, all of us want to ensure our families, communities, and law enforcement are safe. Vote #YesOn940 to improve training and save lives. #waelex #GOTV
