THE TRUTH ABOUT SPD’S USE OF FORCE POLICY AND THE COMMUNITY POLICE COMMISSION
A recent piece in a local community paper concludes that Seattle’s Community Police Commission has a record of “abdication of power and responsibility” and has refused “to admit to over eight years of failure.” It attacked co-chair Rev. Harriett Walden for failing to “revise” SPD Use of Force Policy in the nine years that she has served as a CPC commissioner. This and other harsh allegations imply that the CPC’s alleged “failures” regarding force policies may have contributed to the death of Charleena Lyles and others killed since the CPC was formed in 2013. These allegations are unfounded. As outlined below, the CPC played a crucial role in creating SPD’s restrictive Use of Force Policy, a policy that requires officers to use de-escalation tactics rather than force in most situations. It has greatly reduced aggressive police behavior in thousands of police- community encounters.

Mothers Celebrates Juneteenth
This day in Texas in 1865, 250,000 slaves were finally freed, two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
As mothers we are thankful to the women who shared the word of Juneteenth and encouraged the spread of Jubilee.
We want to honor the late DeCharlene Williams, who by the way of Texas, brought Juneteenth to us here in the state of Washington.
Today we offer prayers of safety. Juneteenth is a day of remembrance of what it must have been like on that day to realize the days of being property were over.
