message: I moved the following text out of the article to this talk page. The text came from an anon and appears to be "talk" content not "article" content:
:Christopher Harris, 2009: The statement in this article regarding the Christopher Harris case was erased off this page as the case had nothing to do with the City of Seattle, or the Seattle Police Department or it's Officers. The only role SPD played was they responded to the backup request from King County Metro Transit Police and a few units arrived on scene after the fact.

message: Currently the Significant Events section gives undue weight to recent scandals. While the scandals are indeed bad, the degree of detail here is excessive. A brief statement of what happened, or is accused of happening, plus links to more information, is more appropriate for wikipedia. I'll make those edits but wanted to start a discussion here in case people disagree. rewinn (talk) 18:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Chief Carmen Best announced "I will be retiring from the Seattle Police Department, effective September 2nd, 2020". The Mayor's Office announced "the Mayor has appointed Deputy Chief Adrian Diaz to serve as Interim Chief of Police beginning in September." Currently she is called Chief of Police by the City and Diaz is currently listed as Deputy Chief, not Interim Chief. I can't think of any authoritative sources other than these, and they all agree: Best intends to retire in 2 1/2 weeks, on September 2. Diaz will be Interim Chief beginning at that time, not now. I don't know what source is claiming otherwise, and I don't know what source could supersede the official statements of the principles here, the Mayor and the Chief. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:22, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

message: basically the thing is filled with inconsistencies. note that the officer who caused someone to commit suicide is named yet the suicidal guy isn't? can someone name him or is he just recorded in history as anonymous. another part I read before ultimately giving up on this article was that their were "false allegations" with no citation. how do we know they were false? reread it and see if you can guess what political ideologies the author/overseer holds. maybe this isn't the correct format I don't ever use this unless I feel I need to and this is it. this feels like current day propaganda 101 2600:1702:1B50:9170:1A89:6E08:99A6:4314 (talk) 09:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
