Seattle Police will end a weekly show aired on a video game streaming service following backlash against an episode in which a department spokesman discussed the fatal police shooting of Charleena Lyles while casually playing a first-person shooter game.

Sgt. Sean Whitcomb launched the show, which consists of live streaming through Twitch.tv, in November 2016, and began recording regular episodes wherein he and other flacks played the game Destiny while chatting about police issues. The department billed the program, which had a small audience, as an innovative method of public outreach. Fuzzfeed206 received positive coverage from a host of local media outlets.

But yesterday's episode, number 24, struck a disrespectful tone that angered a lot of people.

Whitcomb controlled his Destiny avatar—who wears a cape and gun in a fantasy world filled with electrical orbs and space shuttles—while talking about details of the Lyles shooting, which included recounting the moments before the two white officers fired multiple shots at the pregnant mother of four. Outrage ensued, the video was taken down, and now, the department's public information office is ending the show.

Geekwire has the scoop:

“Any time there is a crisis in trust and damage to community relationships, that is the wrong time to shut down, but a time to engage and a time to listen,” Whitcomb told GeekWire Friday morning. “We’re certainly listening and hearing what people have said on other social platforms about this feed. So that is one reason why we are suspending it. Any good that can come of this would be neutralized by any additional pain it might cause.”

Whitcomb said the decision to stop using Twitch was made by his team and was not directed by SPD Chief Kathleen O’Toole or Mayor Ed Murray’s office.
