Seattle Police Chief RETIRES, media forced to release BLM protest photos & videos
#SeattlePolice #CarmenBestRetires #BlackLivesMatterProtests Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best is retiring from the department after the city council cut its budget along with her salary. Chief Best did not give too much information in her letter but said "it's time". Chief Best was in charge when the CHAZ/CHOP took over several blocks of the city, though she publicly said it was not her decision to remove police from the area's precinct. She also asked a court to force local news media to hand over photos and videos of a May 30th protest during which police vehicles were set on fire and guns were stolen. The news outlets are fighting back, using the state's shield law. As a former employee of KING in Seattle, one of the stations arguing it should not have to turn over raw footage to the police department, I am also concerned that this will set a precedent for blurring the lines between journalists and government.
