Seattle Police Chief Best makes stunning retirement announcement after department cuts

There is the $20 answer. The people voting in the insanity are tolerating the ideologues.

"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress [elected leaders]. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation ... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces." James Garfield, the twentieth president of the United States, 1877

I can't say I blame Her for retiring. The insane, ignorant lack of support for the Police Department makes a dangerous job even worse ! I'm sure it reached a point She has had enough and its not improving but getting worse.
