Seattle Police Chief Slams City Council After Activists Target Her Home
2020-08-04
[DAILYWIRE] Seattle’s Chief of Police called on Seattle’s City Council to stand up against "mob rule" after "aggressive" activists reportedly targeted her home over the weekend, which scared her neighbors.

"I wanted to update you on recent events, particularly those that occurred late last night," Carmen Best wrote in a letter addressed to City Council President Lorena González and Public Safety Chair Lisa Herbold. "A residence of mine in Snohomish County was targeted by a large group of aggressive protestors late last night. My neighbors were concerned by such a large group, but they were successful in ensuring the crowd was not able to trespass or engage in other illegal behavior in the area, despite repeated attempts to do so. Currently, the local sheriff (not SPD resources) is monitoring the situation."

"I urge both of you, and the entire council, to stand up for what is right. These direct actions against elected officials, and especially civil servants like myself, are out of line with and go against every democratic principle that guides our nation," Best continued. "Before this devolves into the new way of doing business by mob rule here in Seattle, and across the nation, elected officials like you must forcefully call for the end of these tactics."

"The events of this summer were initiated in a moment of grief and outrage over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis coppers and so many other Black and Brown people suffering at the hands of injustice," Best concluded. "All of us must ensure that this righteous cause is not lost in the confusion of so many protestors now engaging in violence and intimidation, which many are not speaking against."
