Katie Wilson Delays SPD Texts As Seattle Bite Shooting Cover-Up Deepens

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Seattle Police Department reversed course Friday on a promised public release of internal texts and Microsoft Teams messages from the Bite of Seattle mass shooting — and Mayor Katie Wilson's fingerprints are all over it. Interim Chief Andre Sayles cited unspecified investigative concerns for the delay, just days after the mayor's own office quietly dumped a separate trove of messages late on a Friday. The shooter is still at large. Questions are being stonewalled at every turn.The timeline is damning. SPD held a five-hour delay before its initial press conference on the shooting. Then the sitting police chief was fired with a $700,000 payout and the explanation that he "didn't align with the mayor's goals" — no details, no accountability. Seattle is now on its third chief in short order, and city leadership is circling the wagons instead of answering to the public.Seattle managed to hold it together for the FIFA World Cup by deploying 110 federal and county agencies dedicated solely to public safety. Those resources are gone. What's left is a council demanding text timelines it can't get, a business community sending formal letters begging for basic law enforcement presence, and a police force hollowed out by years of defund-era hiring freezes with a budget deficit that forecloses any fast recovery. This is what a public safety collapse looks like from the inside.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Seattle's mainstream press won't give you.#NFRP #Seattle #KatieWilsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
