This is nigh Sun_Tzu/genius of Seattle's creative (female) chief of police: if there is a capable pest working against you, invite them in, and have them work for you.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoWhat does gender have to do with anything? Disclosure will progress towards real-time: gathered not only by officers, but by any other person as well. Props to Seattle for being slightly ahead of the curve.
- theophrastus 12y agoHow many female chiefs of police are there in the states? I was just including it to support your deeply insightful observation that Seattle (generally) tends to be "slightly ahead of the curve".
- chucksmash 12y agoIt's kind of an odd juxtaposition of thoughts but I get the impression GP was just pointing that the chief of police is female (which I'd naively imagine bucks the general trend).
- mattgrice 12y agoSeattle PD is under a DOJ consent decree because of a pattern of excessive force and discriminatory policing. She is perceived to be an outsider brought in to disrupt the good old boys' club. Her status as an outsider is very relevant in this context, and female police officers have a MUCH better track record on use of excessive force.
