Rantz Exclusive: Seattle cop reports own conversation, fears of out-of-context smears
Political leaks seem meant to smear cops.
A Seattle police officer turned himself in for a comment he made when his bodycam was accidentally turned on. It sounded like he was mocking a victim in a fatal crash, prompting fears the comments would be taken out of context to attack the Seattle Police Department (SPD). Those fears intensified thanks to what’s being described as a “leak” of the content to media members who are hypercritical of police.
