Seattle Police Chief: WOW!

[applegrove]

In a time of fear & threats, Seattle’s incoming Police Chief Shon Barnes just reminded us what real courage looks like. A Marine, a leader, & a defender of the Constitution—he stood up for our right to protest and pledged to keep his city safe, not silent.
This is what public service should be.🇺🇸❤️

5. He was Madison Wisconsin's police chief not so long ago.

He was terrific here too.

We had a school shooting and I loved the way he handled everything. He is a former teacher.

13. I hope he keeps his promise.

That’s what the LAPD said and then they started shooting rubber bullets at reporters and blocking off protesters trying to go home before the curfew and arresting them.
