A female Seattle cop with 23 years on the force sent a scathing resignation letter blasting the city for allowing “crime and anarchy” to take over. | Seattle Police Lieutenant Jessica Taylor, who retired on August 1 after more than two decades on the force, refused to complete the standard exit interview form and instead penned a blistering 15-page letter to the police chief, KTTH’s Jason Rantz Show reported. “Chief Diaz, let me tell you, the state of the Seattle Police Department and this city is a disgrace,” Taylor began her letter. 💬 “The toxic mix of the Seattle City Council’s absurdity, the spinelessness of the Mayor, the leniency of the prosecutor’s office, and your failed leadership has accelerated this city’s downhill slide straight to rock bottom,” she wrote. “The problems were already brewing before you came on the scene, but since your arrival, it’s been a free fall into anarchy & chaos.” ● Violent crime remains high in Seattle this year after hitting a 15-year high in 2022. So far this year, Seattle has seen 28 homicides, more than 1,500 aggravated assaults, more than 3,700 car thefts, more than 4,000 burglaries, and more than 10,700 larceny thefts, according to police data. ● Taylor accused Adrian Diaz, the police chief, of having an “insatiable appetite for control” that blinds him to the sacrifices of officers facing danger on the street.
