Seattle Police Officers Guild VP: Officers 'fed up' with city's politics are leaving the force

A Seattle Police Officers Guild official says many officers are leaving the city's police department because they're "fed up" with Seattle's politics.

Rich O'Neill, the group's vice president, said Sunday on "Fox & Friends" that "a number of issues" are weighing down on the city's officers, causing them to find work elsewhere.

According to Q13 FOX, 41 officers have left the city's police department this year, many of whom frustrated by the city's politics.

O'Neill told Q13 FOX that local officials "are allowing certain crimes to go on without accountability."

Comment: Looking at past SOTT articles involving the Seattle Police gives a different picture of what's really going on there. It's hard to have sympathy for a corrupt force.

A manager at a popular seafood restaurant in Vancouver, Canada, learned an unforgettable lesson from his boss after he denied service to a customer wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat inside the restaurant.

What happened?

Up until this week, Darin Hodge was a manager at the Teahouse in Stanley Park in Vancouver, one of the city's most popular seafood establishments. By Thursday, he was out of a job.

It all started when a patron donning the "MAGA" hat sat down for dinner on Tuesday. When Hodge, the manager on duty at the time, spotted the man outside on the restaurant's patio, he confronted the pro-Trump customer, according to CBC News.

Andy Crimp, the restaurant's general manager, explained to CBC that Hodge demanded the man remove his "MAGA" hat - or be refused service.

Joy Behar - 'The View'
With Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announcing his retirement and President Donald Trump now able to nominate another justice, The View's Joy Behar said the United States was becoming a dictatorship.

"Let's have everybody a Republican," Behar said sarcastically. "The Supreme Court, the Congress, the presidency. What is that called? Dictatorship, I believe."

Watch the video below:

Comment: Funny how the Left wasn't screaming when the Democrats controlled Congress under Obama from 2007 - 2010.

Former abortion clinic worker tells story of girl who regretted ninth abortion after seeing her baby

Abby Johnson's book The Walls Are Talking: Former Abortion Clinic Workers Tell Their Stories collects firsthand accounts from former abortion facility workers. The stories vary in theme, each one an abortion worker's memory of an event that stuck with her after she left. One story, called "Frequent Flyers," is about a young woman who had nine abortions.

The chapter's author, who is unnamed, explains how women who came in for repeat abortions at her facility were called "frequent flyers" by the staff. Even though abortion facility workers were committed to promoting and providing abortions, some of them had judgmental feelings toward these "frequent flyers." The abortion facility worker says:
When Angie walks through our doors for her ninth procedure, even those of us whose paychecks were funded by abortion shook our heads and said "Really? Seriously?"...

Although it went against my own ideology, I wanted Angie to show some indication of remorse. I didn't want to feel that way about the numerous women who presented for abortions two, three, or even four times. But nine? That, I felt, deserved at least a slight show of regret or even a bit of good old-fashioned shame.

LA City Councilman Mike Bonin is handcuffed after being arrested for blocking entrance to a downtown ICE facility.
The LAPD arrested a Democratic Los Angeles councilman on Monday after he and other demonstrators blocked the entrances to a downtown Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center for about an hour.

Dramatic footage showed Mike Bonin, a fierce critic of President Trump, being led away in plastic zip-tie handcuffs shortly before noon, after police informed protesters they were engaged in an unlawful assembly.

Images and videos posted to social media showed dozens of demonstrators waving signs and chanting slogans, with several blocking access to the detention center's driveways and entryways.

Eighteen protesters were arrested in total, according to local reports. Bonin's office acknowledged that the councilman had blocked the entrances to the ICE facility, and said that those arrested by the LAPD, including a local rabbi, were released shortly after they were booked.

Brian Ross
Brian Ross, ABC's longtime investigative correspondent, is leaving the broadcaster after his erroneous report on former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

Ross was suspended for four weeks without pay in December 2017 after falsely reporting Donald Trump directed Flynn to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign. The truth was that Trump made that order as President-elect, thus establishing international relations during his transition into the White House. Ross's executive producer Rhonda Schwartz is also leaving the network.

Comment: One presstitute down, so many to go.

Migrants in Greece
On June 20th, a group of children was playing football in a field next to the refugee camp of Chalkios when suddenly a group of migrants appeared and stopped the game.

Some of the migrants started touching the boys who resisted and screamed for help. Their screams were heard by residents living in nearby homes.

Neighbours rushed out to protect the boys. The appearance of the residents and the children's' strong resistance made the migrants escape through the nearby fields to the camp. Residents themselves are prohibited to approach this camp.

The locals called the police and some of the migrants were brought to the Chios police headquarters a few hours later. The children recognised them as the perpetrators and the prosecutor ordered an investigation into the case.

What country? Tucker Carlson says the Left knows if we abolish ICE, 'borders become irrelevant'

Friday on Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson Tonight, host Tucker Carlson offered his theory as to why the "abolish ICE" movement was picking up steam on the left.

According to Carlson, for some Democrats, it is seen as a political winner.

"Well, with shocking speed, it has become normal on the left to demand the abolition of ICE and the 20,000 agents that work there and enforce the immigration laws," he said.

"Just a few weeks ago it was only a few activists on the far left calling for this. And then this week on Tuesday, congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won a Democratic primary against Joe Crowley in New York. She ran on abolishing ICE, and now in a flash, ambitious Democrats are scrambling aboard the bandwagon."

Veterans march in New Orleans to bring attention to high rates of suicide

Veterans from all over the United States gathered in front of the New Orleans VA hospital Sunday morning for a march to raise awareness for the epidemic of veteran suicides currently gripping the nation.

It is no secret that the leading cause of death among active duty troops deployed to the Middle East is not combat or accidents, or IEDs - it's themselves. The Pentagon's own statistics show that this is a crisis but it is being ignored.

In 2016, the Pentagon examined the numbers, noting that a total of 55 US troops, in both hostile and non-hostile situations, lost their lives in foreign occupations. The number of soldiers who killed themselves was nearly 5 times that amount.

Not only are active duty soldiers tragically ending their own lives at an increasing rate, but once they finish their service, these numbers skyrocket. While the suicide rate for active duty members is certainly shocking, veterans kill themselves at a rate nearly 200 percent more.

The most recent data shows that a veteran kills himself or herself in the United States about every 65 minutes. That is 8,000 veterans a year.
