Seattle PD can't use suspect anymore in reports...

[Hambo]

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.

I would suggest a change to the universal use of "asshole" for suspects and inmates, but chiefs never liked my suggestions.

The Chief: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_O%27Toole

The chief's last name is O'Toole? That's too good to be true.

But her first name ain't Plenty....


Someone had to.

Perhaps they will change it again to "Societal Victim" since surely the only reason they offended is because the rest of us failed them.

I think "lil darlin" would work. It's shorter than "the innocent until proven guilty".

Good to know, because students over a certain age, can drop out.

Surprisingly I'm not surprised. Stupid stuff from those that just don't get it. We had a commander suggest we use "Customer" for all citizens including those that we arrested. that went over like a fart in church and even he stopped saying it soon after. I always used suspect in any criminal report but in non criminal reports I would use subject if the person wasn't identified.

I'm just surprised they didn't mandate "Comrade".

Great.

I clicked on the link and saw the words "Blue Team" and suspect (crap, I did it again) that is the same software we use. I am sure that nonsense will creep in here soon.

I like to beat them at their own game though. I answered a call about an hour ago at the well known pimp ran cathouse in my zone. It was about a guy that was standing on the porch screaming and causing a disturbance. The owner of said house of ill repute wanted him gone.

So, after arriving and finding that the John (wait, disgruntled customer) had already left when the pimp (drat, human fulfillment specialist) called the law (me....or cop, pig, jack booted thug) because the hooker (dang it, professional entertainer) didn't render services to the customer's liking, I got on the radio and said

"Lwt16.....it's a contractual civil matter that has been settled out of court. 10-8"
