Seattle Cop Leaves Police Force After Two Decades Because ‘Criminals Are Running This City’

Lieutenant Jessica Taylor sent a scathing message to Democratic officials, admonishing them for Seattle’s downfall. Instead of filling out the standard exit paperwork, Taylor opted to send letters to Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz, Mayor Bruce Harrell and the Seattle City Council. It was then that she gave the far-left leaders a stern reproach.

Taylor even took special measures to get around the department’s methods of just tossing her note aside. “Each page is initialized so no one can do the typical SPD ‘I don’t know what happened. It just automatically deleted’ routine,” she wrote.

She described her dissatisfaction with the police force she loyally served for more than two decades, calling it “nothing more than a circus, with boisterous clowns running amok.” But the insults hardly stopped there. She also called her department “soul draining” before criticizing others responsible for Seattle’s lack of law and order.

She added, “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.”

Taylor seemed to have particular disdain for her superior, telling him, “You willingly became a puppet, a spineless “yes man,” perfectly willing to throw the entire department under the bus to achieve your coveted spot as chief, complete with a fancy corner office.”

“Your controlling, bullying, and gaslighting tendencies have wreaked havoc on this department, driving away talented and dedicated officers.” She also called Chief Diaz a “vindictive, power-hungry individual” before admitting she had zero trust in him.

“Absurd policies have turned Seattle into a playground for anarchists and criminals, and they seem utterly unconcerned with the devastating consequences of their actions,” she said. She blamed city officials for allowing crime and illegal activity to thrive in Seattle, saying, “If you haven’t noticed, the criminals are running this city.”

“It’s no wonder Seattle has become a laughingstock of the nation and the globe,” she said.“They are laughing about us on the international news…The city that once prided itself on progressiveness and prosperity has now become a hotbed for crime and anarchy.”

She also added that the working hours are “ruthlessly long” and “unsafe.” She deemed the circumstances “unacceptable” before adding that “Seattle deserves better” than the deplorable leadership it currently has.

She ended her statement by saying, “You offered me an opportunity for an honest exit interview, and here it is. I will always stand up for what’s right and what I believe in…even if I am standing alone.”
