Calling it a moral mandate, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, signed a dozen bills into law on Tuesday that backers hope will improve policing in the state, reduce the use of deadly force and ensure that when deadly encounters do occur, the investigations are thorough and independent. These bills are all going to work in coordination with one another to create a system of accountability and integrity stronger than anywhere else in the nation, Inslee said in remarks before he signed the bills.

SEATTLE A Seattle police lieutenant will not face discipline for authorizing officers to use pepper spray, tear gas and blast balls on a large crowd of protesters on Capitol Hill last in June 2020, the interim police chief announced Wednesday.
The pink umbrella incident on June 1, 2020, was a pivotal moment during last summer s racial justice protests, and videos of the officers overwhelming use of crowd control weapons were shared widely across the nation.

Nikkita Oliver (they/them) believes a city investment in peoples basic needs not police will create a truly safe community. Alex Garland
Last summer, during the height of the Black Lives Matter protests, activist and attorney Nikkita Oliver brought Mayor Jenny Durkan onto the steps of Seattle City Hall in front of a crowd of protesters to ask questions about public safety and policing. Unsatisfied with Durkan s canned responses, the crowd drowned her out with chants of Nikkita for Mayor.
But Oliver had no intention of running for mayor or for any public office, really. After placing third in the 2017 mayoral primary, coming in behind Durkan and urban planner Cary Moon, Oliver, the executive director of Creative Justice, focused on making changes from the ground up through community organizing and political education.
