I was hoping the Seattle City Council would proceed with some caution and wisdom as they seek to build a more humane, nonracist police force by cutting its funding. Instead, they have provoked the resignation of the highest ranking Black person in Seattle government — a woman who had been ideally placed to weed out racism in the police.
Not what I’d call an auspicious beginning, folks.
