SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department is changing their terminology in use of force reports.

Instead of calling a suspect a suspect, the new term will be “community member,” KIRO reported.

Can someone explain this to me that has some brass on their collar? It makes zero sense.

SJWs love labeling theory.

I am familiar with it but clearly you can only call a turd something for so long before people start to disregard the label...

The little gems in their state prison went from "inmate" to "offender" and are now to be referred to as "students." Gary Ridgeway, the "Green River Killer"who killed at least 48 women and claims 80 over several decades, must be referred to as "student."

These folks got shite for brains.
