Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…….
Democrat party is in for a whole lot of woe. And so is this country if they aren’t ousted from power.
This is a disgrace.
Seattle to Pay Ex-Pimp $150,000 to Come Up With ‘Alternatives to Policing’
Seattle will pay a former pimp who is referred to as a “street czar” $150,000 a year to come up with “alternatives to policing.” Andre Taylor, featured in a documentary called “American Pimp,” was one of the original occupiers of the police-free Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone. Now, he sees a golden opportunity to exploit the guilt-ridden liberal city council and finagle a lot of money out of them. His organization, “Not This Time,” was paid $100,000 to sponsor a series of speakers called “Conversations with the Streets.” And he was caught on audio advising CHOP zone residents how to exploit money from the city.

“Don’t just leave. Leave with something,” he told activists in a meeting caught in a recording, telling them to demand $2 million to exit the site of much of the city’s worst violence this year, the report said. They ignored his advice, the paper said, with one saying the money grab felt “off.”
Some of those militants then accused him of betraying them, too, when he appeared at a press conference with the mayor to tell them to shut down CHOP — the same day he was given his six-figure contract, the paper said.
It’s not unusual to give thugs cash in exchange for keeping the streets quiet. But 150 grand might be excessive, don’t you think?
I guess it’s not excessive when a “genius” is at work.
The new street czar justified the contract to KOMO News as payment for his “particular genius in a particular area” — saying he can talk to “gang members, pimps and prostitutes” who “won’t sit down with anybody else.”
“Black people as a whole have not been in a place to be compensated for their genius or their work for a very, very long time,” he said.
“Not too many people can go talk to gangbangers in their territory, and then go talk to the government in their territory,” Taylor also told the Seattle Times.
His contract with the city of Seattle calls for him to “provide recommendations to the City on de-escalation, community engagement, and alternatives to policing.” The mayor’s spokesperson said the contract was offered because of an “existing working partnership.”
Taylor’s group was chosen because of its “lived experience with the criminal legal system, and their history of successful advocacy and activism on issues of policing and dismantling systemic racism,” Nyland added, noting that the city is spending millions this year on similar contracts with various groups.
How do you measure “success” in “dismantling systemic racism”? What metrics are used to measure it? What goals were set and met? And what “alternatives” to normal policing has Taylor come up with in the past?
This money is tribute, nothing less. It’s the city paying a prominent activist who has influence and perhaps control of the mob. Taylor’s switching sides to support the city’s efforts to get rid of the CHOP zone has paid some handsome dividends for him. But it’s an expensive way for Seatte taxpayers to buy peace.

ALL federal funding needs to be cut off from the ignorant libturd areas especially the whole west coast!
Wray is full of sheeeeet. Both China and Russian want Biden to win.
Wray’s just carrying on the CORRUPT legacy of others before him and hoping for a Biden win. He must know he is dancing on thin ice. BTW, is our wonderful A.G. Barr doing anything about it or just pontificating again? Surely there must be something he could do IF HE WANTED TO! Never mind. He’s too busy protecting his buddies like Hillary, Bill, Mueller and the rest of them. Sickening.
And they never even did an investigation after 2016 where we knew millions of illegals and dead voted!!!!
Trump won the election and, therefore, didn’t have to challenge the results in ANY state. I’m sure we had millions of illegals voting in CA and NY….
Not challenge the results…they were wanting the stats from the states to prove voter fraud but the libturd states wouldn’t hand over anything. They knew there was fraud then and will be this time too.
Weak! Arrest the seditious and treasonous DNC/CIA/FBI/MSM/CAIR/BLM/ANTIFA state and city leaders nationwide using RICO!
I’ll agree but since we don’t have the prison space for the amount of libturd criminals there it is better to cut the morons off completely and let the citizens start to clean up their own messes.
Pfft! Leaky tents, dogs and barbed wire will do for traitors.
So you are familiar with our Sheriff Joe?????
Weak! Arrest the seditious and treasonous DNC/CIA/FBI/MSM/CAIR/BLM/ANTIFA state and city leaders nationwide using RICO!
They’ve been paying race hustling criminals for decades out of the public purse …
… it’s just ‘in-your-face’ now because they think they’re on the verge of stomping normal people into the ground …
*** Everyone here have an excellent week!
“ex-pimp” … because race hustling pays better?
A hunnert ‘n fifty large per annum. More than likely an expense account that exceeds that amount.
No longer does he need to slap his hoes around and burn them with cigarrettes in the armpits.
Hayull … Sounds like a win-win.
As always, you too!
It’s all or nothing for DEMS.
thank you, felix!
The city of Seattle just got extorted for $150k from a thug. Way to go. What will happen when he gains more power in that city and declares that $150K just isn’t enough for him to ‘keep the peace.’ What then? Anyone left in Seattle who is a freedom loving American, should already be planning their exit.
Trump should effectively cut off Seattle from the rest of the state and the country, with a ‘Berlin-style’ wall.
Shhhh! That is the next movie sequel for, DIVERGENT to be called, REALITY

Does he get paid more than the governor too?
Who said there is a war on women? Do liberal women like him too?
Q: What are the qualifications to work in Seattle’s governmental structure?
A: There aren’t any.
Sure there must be some racial or gender requirements? An overweight, lesbian, transgender woman of indeterminate ethnicity would be the director of any department in Seatt-hell — resume not required!
Brains not required, either.
Is’nt this another incantation of a ” protection racket ” ? This is like paying Goebbels to oversee a Jewish daycare center..

The people of Seattle and Portland deserve the chaos, looting, robbery, murder, plunder, taxes, and misery they have brought on themselves by continuously voting these criminals into office. Let them rot in their own garbage heap. Rats have more character; let them choke on Commiecrat flesh.
Seattle has disgraced itself over and over this year. People living in Washington better start waking up and cleaning house of all the lunatic Democrats!
Just don’t send them my way, please.
I can’t stand this BLM bullshit! These scumbags is a front for these radical bastards to become Hitler’s people to destroy our government.
Trained Marxists, they are.
I feel sorry for CharlieSeattle having to live in this insane, Dem0rat hellhole.
Hey!! Career Criminals!! You can work openly, and retire early, by moving to Seattle! C’mon! Get you career into high gear and have no worries about the cops!
TBH, not much surprises me from Seattle. I wonder how anyone there is still alive. What a hellhole.
