community created a barricade around it to preserve the evidence

But the biggest indication is the way the ICE thugs react after the shots. They don't try to arrest him or secure the gun, they either back away or run away. They immediately knew it was a crime and tried to distance themselves.

That’s why I’ve proposed “News Notes,” which would give Seattle residents $100 to support local media outlets of their choice. Learn more in my interview on the Mostly Economics podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAyw...

Black Lives Matter and the movement to use police funding to pay for non-police community safety progrmas were started by Black and brown people in Seattle, just like in other cities, but Harrell says those weren't the "real discussions" he was at in 2020, where everyone agreed with him.

Wilson doesn't take the bait on "my opponent's Defund movement," and says Harrell tried to lower standards for police hiring, hasn't implemented the 2017 police accountability ordinance, and hired Diaz over other qualified internal candidates.

Harrell wasn't to blame for anything that happened with former police chief Diaz, who he kept on the payroll, at more than $300,000 a year, despite credible allegations of misogyny, harassment, and a hostile work environment for women. Now we have a "superstar," Shon Barnes, so don't blame him.

Apparently homelessness is a national issue and a regional issue, but police officers leaving departments is a local issue that was caused by one person, Katie Wilson, who started Black Lives Matter and Defund (according to Harrell.)

A question about "preventing restaurants from leaving the city." Wilson says the city has the power to cap commercial rent; says the city can make it easier to start businesses by streamlining permits and making it easier for workers to live where they work to help restaurants hire and retain staff.
