"the initiative would give police power to arrest people who fall asleep in public"
So there's a fucked up ballot initiative coming that wants to make existing at all as a homeless person a jail-able offense.
It's sponsored by non-other than the Seattle police union (aka SPOG) and is a power grab to give useless cops an easy way to pack prisons.
Don't sign this bullshit initiative.

Op/Ed [Elected body that will - do the math - absolutely approve the SPOG contract] must vote down the SPOG contract!
Rinck: N
Foster: N
Lin: N
Hollingsworth: Y
Rivera: Y
Juarez: Y
Kettle: Y
Saka: Y
Worm: doesn't matter
This sort of Op/Ed annoys me. I know I should just get over it. I know it serves a purpose.
Let's maintain pressure on Mayor-elect Wilson!
The Seattle Police Officers Guild is suing the Seattle Police for being slow as fuck with records requests. 🥴
This all stems from an SPD policy where if you make more than one records request they will group and process your orders one at a time, each taking possibly months or years.
Which I for one am extremely happy to see the SPOG helping us cop watchers have more tools to expose the bad behavior of SPOG members 😅
This now banned dragnet surveillance tactic was used to great effect in Seattle for the most petty of reasons.... there was a protest at the Police Union building.
Little to no property damage or other harm was reported (other than the cops beating ppl of course) none the less the fucking FBI built a case entirely on dragnet phone spying tools fit for a Tom Clancy novel.

I like this. I like this very much!
And I wish the story of shitbird Vice President of Seattle cop Union Dan Aurderer ended there, at laughed at a cras time and lost his job, but no. Last year that shitbird was suing the city for reputational damage bc we all got to hear him laughing in 4k.
WHILE the cops were responding the Jaahnavi, the Vice President of the Seattle cop union was caught on his body cam laughing at the news that one of his officers had killed a young immigrant woman. Dan said "she had limited" and that the city would pay a small fine and all the cops would keep their jobs.
Of course this only caused more protests and an actual international incident.
Dan, got fired last year just for laughing.
@jima And pretty graphs on a web-based #SPoG. Mustn’t forget those. (Edit: I am •totally• yoinking the phrase “Buzzword Compliance” for today’s #PhraseOfTheDay. 🙂)
SPOG deal approved as Seattle City Council approves big raises with a few accountability strings for its police officers
City Council set for vote on new contract with Seattle’s cops
Seattle’s new deal with cops: big raises, some new oversight, more police work moved to ‘civilian resources’
What's the deal with this laughing on camera thing?
Glad you asked!
You see the cop in the video, Daniel Auderer, was talking on the phone talking to officer Mike Slaon.
Daniel is the Vice President of the Seattle Police Officer's Guild.
Oh, and Mike is the President of the Seattle Police Officer's Guild.
Because the police union complained to the chief
