    Seattle has some of the worst cops in the country and we have for a long time. You’re thinking of weird hipster art and cafe culture, which does exist in a few neighborhoods, but the primary powers are big business like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Boeing.

      Or my pet theory which is that indiscriminate hate from the public makes an agency worse, not better.

      Why would you want to join an agency if you know the locals hate you?

      Simple: If you don’t care what anyone thinks, or even enjoy the hate.

      Obviously, that’s going to be a very bad egg.

          He’s not saying they weren’t bad just that instead of fixing things the police just hire wise people because they are the only ones that apply.

            The implied alternative, that we should be grateful for the violent racists in the hopes that they hire better people, is unacceptable.
