A riot cop pushed two women down from behind at the ICE protests last June.
The OPA found the force wasn't even "reportable." We disagree.

No discipline for cop who pushed two women to the ground from behind at June ICE protest
The Office of Police Accountability found that the officer used "non-reportable" force to "guide" protesters back, but video shows a forceful push in at least one of these cases.

We recently made a video about former CRG Lt. Matthew Didier at Cal Anderson last year.
Richard Bonesteel is now a sergeant in that unit. This angry child temperament in CRG is a feature, not a bug. SPD chooses this type to lead.

Last week @cmeddielin.bsky.social talked about an ICE invasion of Seattle as feeling like a natural disaster. In general people band together during natural disasters and try to help their neighbors.
And “protest,” in a narrow sense, isn’t even the right term for what we are seeing now. Crucially, in reaction to the regime sending an occupation force of masked goons, a new form of resistance emerged: Communities organizing to help their neighbors, confrontational but peaceful.

Think “Black Lives Matter” painted on the sidewalk while more people die from police violence ever. single. year.
No stopping until there’s material change!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

For a second time, Seattle police Officer Tanner Jay was caught lying. Just one fib is supposed to end his career.
But despite clear evidence of dishonesty, the OPA argued it couldn't meet the high standard of evidence set in the police guild contract.

A Seattle cop was caught lying a second time. Why does he still have a job?
Officer Tanner Jay released two people stealing gas at a U-haul lot, did not write a report, and lied to investigators. He previously fabricated a conversation with a witness.

This for starters.
Also, ICE ERO tends to wear olive drab or sand colored plate carriers.
These dark blue vests aren’t common, and you probably wouldn’t see three ICE agents in one place wearing them

So...SPOG argued that it's spending so much "hard-earned dues" money on public records lawsuits that it can't afford to lobby.
We're effectively draining the police guild's ability to enact public policy at the state level. How bout that?
