WOKE RUN AMOK: @BellevueEAUnion+FAR LEFT activists pushed to remove all #Bellevue school resource officers(@BvuePD) last year. Virtually zero local MEDIA scrutiny. @TheBSD405 now getting slammed by angry parents caught off guard. Defund police movement is a disaster. #Bellevue
@BellevueEAUnion @BvuePD @TheBSD405 BARELY ANYONE KNEW: Last year, #Bellevue School District said School Resource Officer program was on temporary pause. Very few parents knew it was actually scraped+rebranded Community Engagement Officer Program(CEO).

@BellevueEAUnion @BvuePD @TheBSD405 OFFICERS NO LONGER IN #BELLEVUE SCHOOLS? It appears this CEO program would house officers in a “central district office” instead of actual schools and on campus. Is this the right move? @BvuePD
REASON FOR REBRAND: This is 100% a #Bellevue School Dist. decision. “Advisory Committee” made recommendations for central district office model.

But some parents asking, “why are these only options and why can’t we vote on @BvuePD being back in schools?”
DID YOU KNOW: #Bellevue public is MAJORITY Asian American students? That’s relevant because most of their parents say they want @BvuePD in schools. Especially after rise of ANTI-ASIAN hate crimes. But are puzzled by TEACHER'S UNION stance against police.

COP HATERS: Some parents I spoke to in #Bellevue are now calling @BellevueEAUnion stance against police “TOO WOKE” and “does not represent the interests of our kids.” READ why teacher’s union is against
@BvuePD on campus. bellevueea.org
ACTIVIST TEACHERS: It's evident #Bellevue public schools has been infiltrated by FAR LEFT activist teachers and the WOKE mob. Many parents say their ideology is also clouding their judgement when it comes to public safety and police in schools.

SCHOOL THREATS: Last year, #Bellevue School District had to deal with several serious threats to students and classrooms.

THIS ONE TOO: #Bellevue
RENEWED PUSH TO BRING BACK SRO'S IN SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS: But it appears #Bellevue School District is going the OPPOSITE direction. Bellevue Police must go along and has no say in final decision.

#EXCLUSIVE: After he tried to dodge me TODAY, I confronted Dr. Dat Nguyen, owner of building that could be home to controversial #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC. Biz owners in area including his tenant are asking Nguyen to reconsider deal w/Acadia Healthcare. @WADeptHealth @GovInslee🧵👇🏽
MASSIVE PROTEST: After multiple pleas with @WADeptHealth, Acadia Healthcare, and even City of #Lynnwood, coalition of neighbors and community stakeholders are protesting on Saturday. This will be one of many according to organizers. They are promising a PR nightmare. @GovInslee ImageImage
LATEST FROM DOH: @WADeptHealth sent out response to community concerns over proposed #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC that would be few hundred feet from Alderwood Boys & Girls Club. DOH being put on BLAST by neighbors. @LynnwoodTimes about to drop more details!

#EXCLUSIVE: Tuesday evening, massive RV INFERNO in #Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood. Everyone got out safe. Owner of vehicle says he was trying to stay warm when propane tank exploded.@SeattleFire saved day. Neighbors came by w/blankets. @KC_RHA @MayorofSeattle @GovInslee
RV’S REMAIN LIABILITY: There are multiple RV’s parked across street from Wallingford post office. Neighbors have complained to city for months with ZERO action. Not just about fire risks, but more crime linked to campers. More thefts+gas being siphoned from parked cars.#Seattle ImageImage
MAJOR DRAIN: #Seattle Fire Dept. released latest list of encampment-related fires+medical responses for people experiencing homelessness for 2020, 2021 and 2022. All approximates. Volume spiking each year.

SAME DEAL: Did a drive by today on 3rd Ave+Holgate St. in SODO. It's been cleared multiple times, but once again, the tents and RV's have been back now for months. @CMTammyMorales MIA again on this issue. No timeline on this getting removed. #Seattle @MayorofSeattle @KC_RHA
PRESCIENT CALL: Back in July 2022, these biz owners said NO DOUBT campers would return and wanted to see how long it would take for city of #Seattle to remove them. More than 6 months later, 3rd Ave. & Holgate St is worse than ever. @MayorofSeattle @KC_RHA
SODO STORIES: Remember these fellas last year? For months I documented stories in #Seattle's RV community. Many say they are NOT HOMELESS because they live in vehicles. They KNOW Seattle provides a CONSTELLATION of services supporting this lifestyle.

SWEEPS RESUME: Crews out all week in #Seattle. While most of downtown is clear, homeless moved to nearby SODO, Chinatown-ID, and Georgetown after sweeps. Utah Ave. S being cleared again but biz owners say RV's will return. No end in sight. @KC_RHA @MayorofSeattle @CMTammyMorales
@KC_RHA @MayorofSeattle @CMTammyMorales STOP THE SWEEPS SEATTLE: For past year, city has removed on average 3-4 encampments per week. But FAR LEFT activists helped homeless move to other neighborhoods, undercutting @MayorofSeattle. And they are targeting me again in 2023. Listen to dude correct me. 🙃🤣#Seattle @KC_RHA
VIDEO DON'T LIE: This past August, city of #Seattle cleared Utah Ave S. But RV's slowly returned and nothing was done about it. It took crews nearly 5 months to clear it again. Still no solution to get ahead of these before it spirals out of control. @KC_RHA @MayorofSeattle 👇🏽

WORST KEPT SECRET: For months I have been tracking illegal sales+trade of EBT(food stamp)cards in #Seattle's Little Saigon. Little did I know, @SeattlePD was also investigating. They just made a HUGE BUST. Another win for @MayorofSeattle. Story launching soon. Here's PREVIEW.🧵👇🏽
BUSTED: Authorities say 56 year old Cuong Van Nguyen and 51 year old Queyen Tran set up in Lams Seafood parking lot, targeting HOMELESS people+drug addicts. Vietnamese duo allegedly offered FENTANYL in exchange for EBT cards or bought food stamps for pennies on dollar. #Seattle
IN COURT: I just missed Nguyen's first appearance but caught tail end of Tran's. The duo was arrested in their home, authorities say they found 1000 fentanyl pills, 200 grams of cocaine, heroin, and a pistol. Back in court December 22. #Seattle

IMPORTANT SURVEY ENDS FRIDAY: Last year, the #Bellevue School District put a temporary pause on the School Resource Officer program(SRO) but just rebranded it to Community Engagement Officer Program(CEO). They want feedback.

SURVEY OPEN TO PUBLIC:👇🏽

OFFICERS NO LONGER IN #BELLEVUE SCHOOLS? It appears this CEO program would house officers in a “central district office” instead of actual schools. Is this the right move? @BvuePD Image

Apparently an “Advisory Committee” made recommendations for this central district office model.
