Police Reform Advocates Raise Concerns about Proposed New Contract for High-Ranking SPD Officers: The city council was set to vote yesterday on a proposed contract for the Seattle Police Management Association but postponed that vote. The SPMA represents higher-ranking officers in the department. Among reformers' concerns with the new contract, reports Steven Hsieh: "The SPMA contract conflicts with a suite of reforms related to the disciplinary appeals process. The police accountability legislation requires a city-appointed body called the Public Safety Civil Service Commission (PSCSC) to review all disciplinary appeals. In contrast, the SPMA contract allows commanding officers to choose from the commission or an arbitrator to review appeals, which is the current practice for all unionized city employees. Some police reform advocates say arbitration is more likely to result in favorable outcomes for officers appealing discipline."

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Delay 'manipulated them emotionally and psychologically, isolated them [and] established their complete dependency on him.'"

Bainbridge Performing Arts Cancels Production of Bullets Over Broadway Because of Woody Allen's "Witch Hunt" Comments: BPA's executive director Dominique Cantwell said in a statement: "Given our national conversation about how women are treated or mistreated by men in positions of power, and given that Woody Allen has placed himself very publicly on what we consider the opposing side of the issue and has been advocating against a 'witch hunt' of the men perpetrating this culture of abuse, we have decided that we cannot promote or support him by paying royalties for his work."
