The Seattle police department certainly has better things to do, don’t you think, than dealing with name calling, right? Besides this violating the Washington and federal Constitutions
Seattle Police Chief: Call 911 if You Hear ‘Racist Name-Calling’
Law enforcement officials in Seattle are cracking down on hate crimes and urging residents to call 911 over “racist name-calling.â€
Police Chief Carmen Best and former KING 5 reporter Lori Matsukawa put out a video on Monday claiming there is zero tolerance for hate crimes against Asian Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Washington state is no place for hate,†Best said in the video.
“We will document and investigate every reported crime, even racist name-calling should be reported to police,†she said. “We take this information very seriously.â€
She urged, “If you aren’t sure a hate crime occurred, call 911. We’re here to help and we’ll respond to investigate.â€
“There’s no place for that in our community,†Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett told K5 News.
Sorry, but mean words are still covered by the Constitution. But, one has to wonder why there’s so much of a problem with this in uber-leftist Seattle, which voted 92%-8% for Hillary over Trump.
Does this cover if someone says Wuhan virus or China virus? Don’t forget this one
(Daily Wire) The University of California system, bowing to current political correctness, has issued a “guidance document†prepared by its Council of Chief Diversity Officers that instructs campus decision makers, faculty, administrators, students and staff not to use the term “Chinese virus†to describe COVID-19, the coronavirus whose beginnings have largely been attributed to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in Communist China.
Titled, “Equity and Inclusion during COVID-19,†the document begins by admonishing its readers to “Reject racism, sexism, xenophobia and all hateful or intolerant speech, both in person and online. Be an ‘up-stander,’ and discourage others from engaging in such behavior.†It continues, “Do not use terms such as ‘Chinese Virus’ or other terms which cast either intentional or unintentional projections of hatred toward Asian communities, and do not allow the use of these terms by others. Refer to the virus as either ‘COVID-19’ or ‘coronavirus’ in both oral and written communications.â€
These are the things wackos worry about. You’d think with a real crisis their fake stuff would disappear, but, nope. The free speech group FIRE wonders about the use of “do not” and whether there are penalties for this, which violates the US and California constitutions.
Police Chief Carmen Best! A black, Democrat, leftist, authoritarian. Whooda guessed?

Trump 2020 Boycott Seattle.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio! A white, Republican, far-rightist, authoritarian. Whooda guessed?
Arpiehole cost his county at least $15 million in settlements and court costs for misusing the power of his office in harassing political rivals. He misused tens of millions of county funds. He was convicted of criminal contempt and pardoned by fellow birther trump.
Proof, or just your big, fat, lying mouth?
I know Dr Evil went after him, so anything against Arpaio is about as valid as Trump’s phony impeachment.
What do you expect from a female police chief?
The appropriately named Danielle Outlaw was the black female police chief of not too far away Portland, Oregon, when she was named Police Commissioner for foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, and, along with leftist Mayor Jim Kenney and George Doros’ stooge Larry Krasner as District Attorney, they are ignoring ‘lesser’ crimes in the City of Brotherly Love.
It hasn’t worked out well.
Dana points out that Philadelphia has a black female police chief but links to his own typings about the lily white male DA who was in office when a criminal allegedly murdered a Philly police officer.
Why blame the black female chief when it was a white male who made the fateful decisions?
Last I looked, which DA was in office when a cop was murdered is irrelevant.
But, if the Police Commissioner (not police chief) (and the mayor) and the DA agree not to go after violent criminals, that is a joint decision (Frank Rizzo must be spinning), not just the DA’s.
You really prove you are a fool when you make such statements.
you must have failed Community Organizer in school.
Hmm…arrest people for name-calling. Obviously unconstitutional, so where’s the ACLU? I know, stupid question…
Aside from the acute risk of getting one’s clock cleaned there is the “fighting words” doctrine to consider. Freedom of speech is not absolute.
If some lib walks up and screams repeatedly, “You fukking Nazi white supremacist corksoaking moron!”, is that protected speech?
It pretty much is. Only a few things can be claimed as protected, really. The Lefty courts are gone and a lot of their rulings are going bye-byes.
If some lib walks up and screams repeatedly, “You fukking Nazi white supremacist corksoaking moron!â€, is that protected speech?
The word is cocksucking. Afraid of it? Apparently not.
