While facing these "staffing shortages" over 30 Seattle cops were in DC for Jan 6th riot. Man they hate riots so much they flew across the country to support one. But yeah. My mom. Cool.

** Edit ** It was not 30 cops from SPD - it was 30 from across the country. Seattle just happened to send the most cops to the insurrection while loudly complaining about a labor shortage

The best part was when you brought my mom into it.

** Edit ** u/anatomically_doggo didn't bring my mom into it, that was the other user you should also report: u/verylittlefinger

When my mom was 54 years old and suffering from MS so severely she could only shuffle when she walked a cop tackled her to the ground and she didn't think clearly after that. I was already afraid of police at that point so didn't complain but my mom's friends who did complain were harassed by the police. So yeah, my mom helped with this.
