Just to emphasize your point, the guy in this article is the 2nd in command of the seattle police union.

The guy he's talking to on the phone about how worthless this woman's life is that a fellow officer just hit and killed? The head of the police union.

Seattle pd has been under a federal consent degree due to racial policing and unwarranted violence for over a decade for context. They also made the news recently for illegally hanging a trump 2020 flag in the same break room where they had trophies from george Floyd protests displayed. Of course no one was reprimanded.

Real good people.

I bet it would be easier to find qualified candidates who care about the community if they started getting rid of these kinds of jackasses.
