The chief architect of Washington's controversial police pursuit law – @RepJesseJohnson – joined #unDivided for a lengthy discussion about crime and whether his bill had unintended consequences. WATCH: patreon.com/posts/un-divid…
Johnson and I also discussed his criticism of those who have pushed back against the bill – including some Democrats.
He also suggests law enforcement speaking out against the bill is a byproduct of "some police" being angry because "they can't go around killing people."
I'm glad @RepJesseJohnson was willing to sit down for such a lengthy conversation. You can watch all 40 minutes, here: patreon.com/posts/un-divid…

THREAD: Seattle doesn't have enough detectives to investigate RAPES. To blame anyone other than Democrats is media malpractice.
Even worse than that? The @SeattleTimes gave Progressives who are responsible for the police exodus a platform to complain about the lack of detectives like it's not their fault - I shit you not.
Meanwhile, voices of Republicans who warned about all of this are completely absent from the article. Go ahead, convince me the press isn't irreparably broken. I'll wait.

Classic victim mentality. Writer takes to Twitter to brag that he insulted @MrAndyNgo at a bar (because he's very mature). But when it turns out it *wasn't* actually Angy Ngo, he complains that *he's* the victim and not the random Asian dude he was an ass to in public?
And anyone who points this out to @thor_benson, or suggests he should maybe apologize, is an Andy Ngo supporter who deserves to be blocked.
LMAOOOOOO and he blocked me for this. It took ONE minute.

My evening entertainment. Panel on how media “fear mongering” led to losses for Progressive candidates in Seattle. They just said media was “deranged” over NTK tweets (as opposed to the tweets themselves being deranged). Should I take a shot every time they say my name?
The Stranger’s Charles Mudede just said “I didn’t find anything offensive about her tweets in any way.” Keep in mind that NTK called cops serial killers and arsonists heroes.
At least Erica Barnett said she had “mixed feelings” about the tweets.

‼️BREAKING: @SeattlePD confirms to me that as of right now, *354* sworn personnel have yet to submit proof of vaccination.

237 are in operations bureau (patrol)
117 other sworn

Earlier today, two SPD sources provided me with a different set of data that was distributed among SPD leadership today. I am not sharing it because a @SeattlePD spokesperson said the numbers in that dashboard weren’t quite right (although close).
Thread with additional context: The final number is likely to be lower than 354. Keep in mind, that is the number that has not submitted *proof* - it doesn't mean all are not vaccinated.

New: State Supreme Court issues full ruling in decision not to allow recall of Seattle's mayor. Cites two recall limitations it finds relevant:

"First, an elected official is not subject to recall for the act of a subordinate done without the official’s knowledge or direction.”
2) "An official may be recalled for execution of discretionary acts only if the execution of that discretion is done ‘in a manifestly unreasonable manner,' which 'may be shown by demonstrating discretion was exercised for untenable grounds or for untenable reasons.'”
The court concluded that recall petitioners "do not show that Mayor Durkan’s failure to take any particular action was manifestly unreasonable" as it pertained to response to demonstrators.

So far, House Democratic Caucus tells me “we’re not aware of any.” Have messages out to others.
House Republican Caucus says the same.
Senate GOP Leader Mark Schoesler says of his caucus: "To the very best of my knowledge none did. I was certainly here working in Ritzville."
