Seattle police officers falsified a report of armed Proud Boys members heading toward the autonomous zone in the city in 2020, a watchdog found.
The Seattle Police Department abandoned a precinct on June 8, 2020, and activists soon after established an armed protest zone in the area known by some as CHOP.
That same day, officers over the radio said armed members of the Proud Boys, a right-wing group that has clashed with members of the far-left Antifa network, were heading towards the area where the autonomous zone cropped up.
“We’re going to be the one taking my group down around city hall to monitor the group of the Proud Boys gathering

So, at least some of the Seattle cops are as crooked and crazy as their prosecutor and their city council.

I believe most rank-and-file cops are the good guys the strong majority of the time.
But the commissioners and top officers get the bureaucratic insanity that comes with those positions, and cannot be trusted as far as we can throw them.
Add to that whatever is in the water in Seattle that causes lie-beral insanity, and you have a formula for massive disaster.

as a retired professional police officer, these guys are destroying all faith I have in the current generation of some police officers and I don't understand how and why these guys did what they did. seems totally illogical.

This group is an extension of the FBI. Dirty law enforcement is everywhere.

This makes one wonder if there really is a Proud Boys group. Are the Proud Boys really just another FBI or police made up group whose name is conveniently used to stir up fear of right wing violence when to distract from the left wing agenda and violence that is actually occurring? I don't recall ever seeing an actual Proud Boys protest, riot , or violence. You only hear about it.

It is disturbing to watch law enforcement abandon the simple concept of right and wrong. They more than any group must have a firm conviction of what is not only legally right and wrong but also what is morally right and wrong. They failed miserable in this instance and we are seeing more of their lack of integrity every day all around the country. I have many friends who are both retired and current law enforcement officers who recoil at what they see happening to their profession. They took their careers seriously and worked tirelessly to be upstanding and forthright in all their dealings. Unfortunately, we are witnessing the breakdown of our society and culture and that has bled into every profession. A life lived without respecting the authority of God will result in devastating consequences. When you believe you are your own god and can decide what is right and wrong in your mind, nothing good comes from it because we are fundamentally flawed individuals. Men and women of integrity seem to be few and far between in this country but those who are stand out as examples to be respected and admired. There are good guys out there in every profession and we must support them and explain to our children their worth.

This is what communists do. They corrupt law enforcement and turn them into jackbooted minions.
According to the article, no one was held accountable and why would they be? They were simply following the dictates of their Marxist masters.

#6 That's exactly what I'm beginning to think. Same for the "Oath Keepers." But remember ANTIFA isn't a real organization but just an idea.

#3, they did it because the far left wing city government, the far left wing governor and the far left wing FBI told them to do it. And they’re protecting their paychecks and pensions.
If the Proud Boys really do exist, I smell a YUGE lawsuit headed toward the city of Seattle.

Sorry, forgot to add…
If CHOP wasn’t an insurrection then there’s no such thing. They declared themselves to be their own country and government and no longer part of the USA. And they were armed.

1) On the one hand, the Antifa types really go after ANY opposition such as Proud Boys and it was a tasty bit of bait to dangle
2) On the other hand, doesn't this say the cops had a bias? I mean an out-and-out, we don't care if it violates out oath, bias?

Know this: Liberals are NOT your friends. Not even those in uniform. They'd kill you or round you up into a concentration camp (or jail you w/o charges, like some of the 1/6 'insurrectionists')

In the blue cities, I think #1's comment is a given. There might be some shreds of honesty there, but corruption is quickly taking over. The police are in a bad situation in their profession. The good guys want to go home to their families at night, so they stay silent to avoid being fragged by their corrupt fellow officers. It is a very real problem.
Remember the real life story of Frank Serpico? He had to leave the country and live in Europe to stay alive after he came forward to testify against the corruption in his department. The average cop has to know that story very well. If you really want to understand the problem from the inside, watch Clint Eastwood's movie Changeling.
It is a true story based on something that happened in the LAPD back in 1928. The cops were so corrupted back then, and they used their authority to put anyone who disagreed with them like wives or girlfriends into a mental hospital for an indeterminate length of time. They tried to substitute another boy for Jolie's kidnapped son, and when she went ballistic they turned on her in an awful fashion. It seems the boy was a victim of a predator along with some other boys. That is why the community where the crime happened had its name changed, the crime was that infamous.
The bigger city cops have been corrupted for that long, and it doesn't surprise me that Seattle is joining them.

"The Seattle Police Department abandoned a precinct on June 8, 2020,..."
Let that sentence fully sink in.
Those marxist perpetrators were not arrested, charged, tried, sentenced or jailed. Yet, because they are conservatives, the Jan 6 rioters are rotting in DC jails at the behest of the dem party!!! DESPICABLE!!!
