We have the opportunity for council members to live up to what they said about defunding and police accountability over the summer.
Jaiden asks how do we engage in a way that the system is something people are more aware of, more present for. It takes a great will to understand city council. Gate keeping shows itself by community being left out of convo. If they are included it’s in a very tokenizing way. Press releases are coming to us in the middle of the night. Political theater! They don’t know how to carry themselves and skirt around questions. I want access and transparency and representation. Pay heavy attention. Council is all talk no action.
They did have open forum but people in the community are sick of the same old measures that haven’t meant anything. The time for that is beyond. We need real people to take these measures and create real change.
Omari says the SPOG contract is not between police union and city of Seattle its between the police union and the citizens of Seattle.

Washington State is having a public hearing tomorrow on upcoming bill 5107 which would make "unauthorized camping" on ANY publicly-owned or maintained land a misdemeanor. This effectively criminalizes homelessness. Details on how to officially dissent below…
#scanner "A63?" "Have you been notified about the march moving down (street) blocking traffic?" "No, which direction?" "They're heading (direction), will you notify metro?....And they're blocking both directions. Traffic is turning around trying to evade the area"
#scanner "A17, March is continuing S on (location)" "Still taking up all lanes?" "Yes, blocking all lanes with bikes and vehicles"
#scanner "A17 they're asking the size of the crowd?" " (#) pedestrians, bout (#) vehicles and an (#) man bike squad"
#scanner "243 could you note that this crowd is yelling 'Burn the precinct to the ground' repeatedly?"
#scanner "E clerk it appears they're hanging banners off the outside wall now"
#scanner "And there's two of them that have climbed the concrete walls and are hanging them off the chain link fence right now"
#scanner "E clerk it appears to be both chalk and paint" very specific denoscription of the painters followed.
#scanner "And E clerk now they're tagging the W side of the wall" Again, very specific denoscriptions of clothing.
#scanner "6A we got a demo happening at (location). They've taken the intersection with vehicles blocking. About (group and vehicle numbers)."
"6A on E, yeah i've got a demo marching towards E precinct, just let the E precinct officers know weve got about (numbers) heading (direction)"
"6A on E, yeah i've got a demo marching towards E precinct, just let the E precinct officers know weve got about (numbers) heading (direction)"
#scanner "216 on E, yeah just FYI the friday nigh march is within E precinct boundaries. They're at (location). There's about (group numbers) and their car brigade."
#scanner "E12, a citizen out on foot just updated us that the entire group looked like they left including their vehicles, so we're not sure where they are now." but per stream, there are at least 2 cop cars following the group? Not 100 % sure this was protest related but I also can't find any calls suggesting a different group.
#scanner "3E can I get an officer to meet me at the exit of the Sergeant's deck coming up on 12th?"
"P1, dunno if its been broadcast but there's a demo going on at the federal building."
"K02" with a very loud FUCK SPD heard on loudspeaker in the bg.
"I would say about 20 people blocking traffic" Not much context
"2M2, FYI in relation to that last broadcast: Protest, they have vehicles blocking all SB traffic on 5 ave & Cherry"
"Info for E units to hold off on doing the mail run due to a Demo at HQ."
