What a racket! What are meant as sick leave insurance policies are now routes for public funds to be channeled to SPD and reduce availability of police officers. Perhaps more “use it or lose it” is necessary in SPOG contracts instead of current agreements. Thanks to Erica C Barnett, again!

And of course the very next day the Seattle police union put out an aggressive statement indicating that they have no plans to actually support anyone oppressed by or protesting ICE.
They even cast shade on the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
You can typically count on SPOG to lead a work stoppage in protest at some point. They're also likely to sue in court (to delay) anytime they are told to do something they don't like.

Comforting guidance for Seattle police but not residents. So just who do we call for assistance and protection when ICE breaks the law? Looks like mutual aid or “you’re on your own!”

SPD starts the New Year out right! As repressive actions by currently out of town for the holidays Chief Barnes continue and further drains to the budget of hiring bonuses. There’s a lot of work ahead to overcome bigoted SPD priorities.

"the initiative would give police power to arrest people who fall asleep in public"
So there's a fucked up ballot initiative coming that wants to make existing at all as a homeless person a jail-able offense.
It's sponsored by non-other than the Seattle police union (aka SPOG) and is a power grab to give useless cops an easy way to pack prisons.
Don't sign this bullshit initiative.

The Seattle Police Officers Guild is suing the Seattle Police for being slow as fuck with records requests. 🥴
This all stems from an SPD policy where if you make more than one records request they will group and process your orders one at a time, each taking possibly months or years.
Which I for one am extremely happy to see the SPOG helping us cop watchers have more tools to expose the bad behavior of SPOG members 😅

This now banned dragnet surveillance tactic was used to great effect in Seattle for the most petty of reasons.... there was a protest at the Police Union building.
Little to no property damage or other harm was reported (other than the cops beating ppl of course) none the less the fucking FBI built a case entirely on dragnet phone spying tools fit for a Tom Clancy novel.

And I wish the story of shitbird Vice President of Seattle cop Union Dan Aurderer ended there, at laughed at a cras time and lost his job, but no. Last year that shitbird was suing the city for reputational damage bc we all got to hear him laughing in 4k.

WHILE the cops were responding the Jaahnavi, the Vice President of the Seattle cop union was caught on his body cam laughing at the news that one of his officers had killed a young immigrant woman. Dan said "she had limited" and that the city would pay a small fine and all the cops would keep their jobs.
Of course this only caused more protests and an actual international incident.
Dan, got fired last year just for laughing.

@jima And pretty graphs on a web-based #SPoG. Mustn’t forget those. (Edit: I am •totally• yoinking the phrase “Buzzword Compliance” for today’s #PhraseOfTheDay. 🙂)

What's the deal with this laughing on camera thing?
Glad you asked!
You see the cop in the video, Daniel Auderer, was talking on the phone talking to officer Mike Slaon.
Daniel is the Vice President of the Seattle Police Officer's Guild.
Oh, and Mike is the President of the Seattle Police Officer's Guild.

09-23-2023 - #Seattle WA
Dozens of #protesters showed up at the Seattle International District Union Station on Saturday, for a planned march to the Seattle Police Officers Guild #SPOG, demanding JUSTICE for #JaahnaviKandula #JusticeforJaahnavi
Relatives of victims of the Seattle #Police Department spoke before the beginning of the march, while car and bike brigades began organizing in the background. Pictured directly above and behind the parking lot where the car brigade was organizing, (3) Seattle Police officers are seen looking down at protesters. Not-journalist Jonathan Choe was also buzzing around in skin-colored flip flops with plaid shorts, expertly recording footage using a cell phone.
After marching down 5th Ave S, the group changed over to 4th Ave S. While largely uneventful of serious problems, a continuous stream of vehicles traveling south on 4th Ave S drove into oncoming traffic to go around the #protest at one point including a full size #Darigold semi-truck #281100, with trailer, middle-aged white female driver, putting many at risk.
While most drivers behind the protest were not a problem, another middle-aged white woman with braided hair and a wooden cross swinging from their rearview mirror, in a silver Subaru Crosstrek or Outback, repeatedly and aggressively accelerated toward the rear of the car brigade, while honking and stomping their brakes over and over. This went on for some time.
Also at an eastbound facing intersection a Seattle Department of Transportation #SDOT truck #34202 XMT61730D with trailer purposely laid on a very loud airhorn for what seemed like at least a full minute, in an attempt to disrupt the march to SPOG.
After arriving at SPOG #activists and victims spoke of the Seattle Police Department #SPD and other local city departments, taking turns using megaphones speaking about tragedies involving loved ones. Victims and activists voiced calls for police accountability and plans to functionally transform police interactions. Candles were assembled in the shape of a heart on the ground in front of SPOG but had difficulty staying lit, partially due to the on-off rain that was occurring.
Meanwhile a #drone appeared above the gathering, possibly a DJI Mavic. It was speculated to be either from SPOG or Not-journalist Jonathan Choe. Then an unknown police or media #helicopter circled from above a countless amount of times, creating a distraction for some. We believe this to be the same helicopter that kept making passes above Union Station earlier. Also an unknown-to-us media company continued to hover around with large cameras, which eventually created a disturbance.
At the beginnings of getting dark with increasing rain, the march began heading back northbound on 4th Ave S, and was largely similar to what occurred when previously traveling southbound. Albeit what seemed like less traffic due to diminishing sunlight. While expected honks occurred from some #motorists at one point a female driver in what we believe was a newer dark colored KIA sedan asked what the protest was about. About 4-5 minutes later the driver became irate and started creating a scene, although nothing serious occurred. With the sun fully down and increasing rain, the march ended not far from the Union Station on 4th Ave S. The car and bike brigades went their separate ways, and protesters dispersed into the dark Seattle streets.
09/25 edit: Added additional protesters photo and additional photo of King County Transit Service Supervisor SUV. This SUV was generally ahead of marchers by about a city block. Unclear purpose as they didn't seem to manage anything.

CW: Really upsetting comments from Seattle police union
“In a statement released Friday, Seattle’s police union says a video of its vice president joking after the death of 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula lacks context.”
LACKS CONTEXT?
LACKS CONTEXT.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.

This week on Slight Reliability I revisit the concept of the single pane of glass (#SPOG) with Jamie Allen from EPAM Systems and Adam Kinniburgh from SquaredUp.
👁️ What is a SPOG supposed to be?
🌏 Can it work at massive scale?
💼 Is it a tool for engineers or executives?
🤖 What is the future of dashboards in the #AI era?(and much more) #SRE #observability #dashboard #monitoring #SlightReliability

CW: unfiltered but probably okay
Defund the Seattle PD. Decertify the #SPOG (assuming it is in the first place).
