Seattle is a planet all it's own, but it's been that way for a very long time, come on, American and Brits damn near gone to war over an American killing a pig that belonged to the Hudson's Bay Company aka Pig War 1859, So, the American Military sided with the man that killed the pig and the Brits sided with Hudson's Bay Company.

So this brave young American Captain commanding the 9th Infantry faced the guns of the Royal Marines, anyway the war ended no one died BUT, this young Captain would become famous (for the wrong reason) during the American Civil War, General George Pickett

The whole NW section of Washington is fetched up!

You know I was only half joking when I said if you need a policeman in the UK, call 999 and tell them that someone was saying bad things about Muslims.

Seattle police chief tells residents to call 911 if called racist names amid coronavirus pandemic

REALITY CHECK

From the article:
Hate speech is broadly protected by the First Amendment, meaning there is likely little the Seattle Police Department will be able to do if an incident of racist name-calling is reported. The department would be able to prosecute hate crimes, which under Washington state law include "physical injury" to a person, "physical damage" to a person's property or threats that would put a reasonable person "in reasonable fear of harm to person or property."

The Washington state law on hate crimes clarifies that "[w]ords alone do not constitute a hate crime offense unless the context or circumstances surrounding the words indicate the words are a threat. Threatening words do not constitute a hate crime offense if it is apparent to the victim that the person does not have the ability to carry out the threat."​

Washington uses these reports for the 'Red Flag' laws, they are strictly marking gun owners that the State deemed racial slur like the wahu/china virus and use it against gun owners by labeling them as violent and or threatening. This is Washington State mentality.
