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

PSA: Somebody is posting false reports to ICE tracking apps in Seattle. It’s possibly right-wing trolls or ICE themselves.

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?

SPOG has been trying (and failing) to stop our work since we revealed the names of the six officers who went to J6 in 2021.
This is only the latest of several attempts.

Funny how when someone is accused of misconduct by the cops that's all public, but if someone accuses a cop of misconduct it has to all be kept secret.

The agent who shot two people in Portland wasn’t at risk of being run over.
The agent fired into the vehicle from the driver’s side, as is evident from this photo.
Now the guy is being charged with agg assault for this obvious lie.

My latest about how a new UW report shows ICE still has ways to access to WA's Dept of Licensing driver data, including photos, home addresses, etc. This is the latest in a now long saga of the DOL giving personal information to immigration enforcement.

Fun fact: this is the title of a white nationalist song.
It’s the same one the Proud Boys were singing in that clip that got Jonathan Choe fired from KOMO.

Another “weaponized vehicle” claim from occupation forces in Portland.
It sure sounds like the fed was at the driver’s window here too. Not sure how he could’ve struck two people from the front.

Thinking of 2020, when our own SPD attacked a vigil for Breonna Taylor and claimed candles set out in her honor were "improvised explosive devices."
