@thehoffather@choeshow This is what we know so far about his time away from Seattle until a public information request is pulled. Estimated at least 3 months out of 500 days. NOT all vacay some speaking gigs.
@angryseattle And it cost us millions - publicoa: New police chief Shon Barnes brought on five new SPD staffers last month. All told, the salaries of Barnesโ five new hires add up to at least $1.38 million. https://t.co/1XJrFn9gkQ
@choeshow The police chief Shon Barnes brought Nicole Powell over from Louisiana as a part of a 5 person direct appointment package - meaning they skipped the hiring process. Per publicist: Powell will earn $294,757. https://t.co/1XJrFn9gkQ
@murraychapman@KING5Seattle swat has been there every year until now. Three cars posted within blocks around the venue. They could have responded within minutes instead of all coming from home. As well the CRG - ACT team which is the bike team was also not staffed for the first time.
@CBSNews police chief was at his home in Chicago though. Makes $350k, paid trips back and forth โhomeโ w/ a police security detail. SPD did kit staff SWAT or bike teams like they did every year before. An SPD officer saved the life of a child using a tourniquet.
@SlowpokeCon@thehoffather An SPD officer saved the life of the child with a tournecut on a major artery. Itโs not SPD on the ground itโs the chief and โleadershipโ who follow the mayor and politicians.
@SlowpokeCon@thehoffather The city chose to not staff the event with SWAT and CRG (bikes) for the first time in its history. Swat usually has at least 3 cars posted within blocks.
@thehoffather We pay for him to travel back and forth with a special SPD detail to โprotectโ him. He makes over $350k a year but canโt use zoom to address this horrible tragedy? Does he know an SPD officer used a tourniquet to save the life of that child?
@TheGayModer8@JeremyHarrisTV@komonews Why was SPD SWAT & CRG (bikes) asked to not be staffed for the first time at the event this year? Why canโt Shon Barnes use zoom to communicate? Why is SPD saying 1 got away when it was 2- 1 black male, one Arab/middle eastern looking male?
@choeshow And pike place market has high level security cameras everywhere with facial recognition software - why does the Seattle center and vicinity have zero cameras? Why was SPD specialty units (CRG & SWAT) not there this year when every year before?!!
