Should have just been probation, but I understand the political pressure to send her to prison for at least a little while. Thankfully the judge didn’t throw the book at her like the state wanted. By all accounts, Potter is a good person with a sterling 26-year police career who made a terrible, life-altering mistake. She has already suffered greatly, will no doubt live with this for the rest of her life, and as Judge Chu correctly assessed, she poses no danger to the public.

They can't get the cops to do anything, so they use other, "peaceful" measures.

I wonder how a future of cops and government officials in total opposition to each other works out? Do they actually think they can just strip citizens of property and money without using physical force? I can't wait to find out.

Seen here: cops being more loyal to their populist trucker brethren than to the power of the oppressive state.

The only response to her I have is “Yes Ms Goebbels.”

Do we have something approximating hands up don't shoot?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/05/10/us/quadry-sanders-two-former-officers-charged-manslaughter/index.html

Not particularly important to the story, but I do wonder if the complaintant lied about the decedent having a gun so they would get a reasonable response time from the police. If you don't use this one weird hack who knows when the cops will show up.

If you break a law in Seattle the most likley outcome is that they name a street after you or build you a statue or something, as opposed to being arrested.

Is it budget voting season? Seems like a thing a chief (interim or otherwise) would announce to scare people.

I know I preach about the sheeplike herd and its aversion to action and decisiveness and all, but this is ridiculous! Everybody trying to cover their own asses. No one wants to risk anymore.

Why willingness to blow away a child murderer is nothing remarkable, except to you herd animals of course. So it's hardly talking big from behind a monitor.

I suspect something worse will come out, but the inflexible bureaucratic inertia of declaring the situation a "barricaded suspect" might be sufficient to explain the lack of action. For a barricaded suspect, they follow this rulebook, and must have SWAT and an armored car before breaching. Many police departments have IQ ceilings, so should we be surprised?

If they disbanded the Uvalde school and city police departments and resorted to a single sheriff and a posse system they would have been better off.
