The title of the story on the KOMO news web site is Watchdog: SPD Needs Big Mayday Reforms. In Seattle, MayDay every year brings out the Anarchists, masked and destructive, breaking glass in store windows, and other acts of vandalism. See this picture-this is what the Seattle Police Department is faced with EVERY MayDay!
See the Vandals in Masks?! And the Office of Professional Accountability in Seattle says the Police need reforms?! Every year, the SPD sits back and lets these disgusting dregs of society ruin downtown businesses’ day, cause thousands of dollars in property damage, and rarely get arrested or have to face accountability for their crimes. This is shameful, and perhaps that “watchdog” could actually help the Seattle Police do their jobs, instead of second-guessing them at every turn.

I’m guessing the proposed reform wasn’t “try stopping them BEFORE they break things”?
No, it had to do with police technology. Seattle is run by former 60s radicals, who think of police as “pigs”, and everything flows from that.
As one of the radio guys put it, the city elected an open socialist. And she’s setting policy. *ugh!*
