r/SeattleWA POLL: How do you fix these Seattle Police problems? 09-27-16

We tried something I want to run now and then on here: community polls!

Some will feed off of each other. I asked the other day, "What do you think is the primary problem with the Seattle Police Department, if any?" The poll ran in Contest Mode (now reverted to Top to expose the best answers), and here are Top 5 problems identified:

  1. /u/loquacious: The SPOG police union is hindering improvements.

  2. /u/RebornPastafarian: Not enough police officers in Seattle.

  3. /u/trentsgir: We need more community policing and connections locally between cops and citizens.

  4. /u/GENL_CORNPONE: Seattle police leadership culture has been made far too aggressive in the wake of SPD being humiliated in the 1999 WTO riots. Leadership is the issue.

  5. /u/it-is-sandwich-time: SPD recruited too many 'tougher' out of town cops in the early 2000s, which seems to feed into what GENL_CORNPONE said.

Here is today's poll:

How do you fix these five Seattle Police problems?

This will run in Contest Mode -- random display, up/downvotes hidden for at least a day or two. Results will be announced in the next poll, which will be a different (non-police) topic.

I will leave a Sticky comment for you to leave suggestions for the next poll; I'll start a list of topics to pick from!
