New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

Katie Wilson is getting shit done. - Free school meals for all kids - Tiny home villages to get people off the streets - Major transit improvements - Collaboration with the Seattle Social Housing Developer The Seattle Times and Council President Joy Hollingsworth are looking to kneecap her.

I bet Wilson told Barnes "resign with dignity or be fired disgracefully" during their meeting the other night, hence the lack of communication from the city. Then he waffled after the news leaked, hoping he could squeeze more money out of a prolonged separation. Wilson stood her ground and he caved.

Email just went out internally at City Hall: Shon Barnes has (officially) resigned as police chief of Seattle.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Hearing on good authority that Police Chief Shon Barnes has just been fired. He just left the mayor's office this evening after being inside for quite a while. Barnes is currently calling around the police department to tell his captains. Still waiting on confirmation from mayor's office and SPD.

[RT - OptaSTATS] The @tigers are the second MLB team in the modern era to score a run in every inning in which they batted and allow no runs in every inning in which they pitched in a game. The other was the Pirates against the Dodgers on September 6, 1935 (13-0 win).

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

Oh sure when World Cup football ends 6-4 it’s a great, exciting game but when Penn State-Iowa football ends 6-4 it’s an affront to God’s will

Harry Kane scored 6 goals for England in the World Cup. After he admitted he went golfing with Donald Trump he did not score again the rest of the tournament, and England are out. The Trump sports curse remains undefeated.
