I implore the public to please protest peacefully this weekend, particularly in light of the President making good on threats to send federal forces into American cities.
Know that Police Chief @CarmenBest, @SeattleFire Chef Scoggins, and I will do everything in our power to protect our City and protect our residents. mynorthwest.com/2044315/durkan…
@carmenbest @SeattleFire Regardless of the President’s threats, residents can and should continue to demonstrate peacefully and make their voices heard. But we cannot pretend that his comments are just bluster.
@carmenbest @SeattleFire Our local, state, and members of our congressional delegation are all working to oppose these actions and prepare for immediate legal relief should it become necessary.
@carmenbest @SeattleFire I previously served as US Attorney - the chief federal law enforcement officer – for Western Washington. Current and former law enforcement officials understand community safety is being jeopardized by this President.
@carmenbest @SeattleFire We’ve seen it firsthand in Portland. We cannot let it happen in Seattle.
