Should SPD Officer Adley Shepherd Lose His Job? After King County Prosecutors declined to bring charges against him, both the woman he punched in the back of his patrol car and the NAACP are calling for him to be fired. "That punch was a retaliatory act, not a tactical act,” said Seattle-King County NAACP President Gerald Hankerson at a press conference on Tuesday. He likened the decision not to charge Shepherd to the cases of Eric Garner and Mike Brown, in which he said officers were let off the hook for misconduct. (Officer Shepherd, who is on leave while under investigation at SPD, is African American.) In an interview with KING 5, Miyekko Dudren-Bosley said she doesn't remember whether she kicked out at Shepherd, "but the video speaks for itself... I remember being thrown into a car and trying to catch my balance and then being punched."

The woman they arrested—the October 22 Coalition Against Police Brutality's Emma Kaplan—has accused the SPD of lying and is calling for all charges against protesters to be dropped.

State budget director David Schumacher said that after cutting programs in budgets for the past seven years, "the ability to get significant amounts of revenue from ‘efficiencies’ is just not there any more," the Olympian reports. "We’ve been limping along, in part by cutting vital services and deferring important investments. But that is the equivalent of a bubble gum and duct tape policy for the state of Washington," Inslee said.

Seattle Schools to Give Interim Superintendent a Permanent Post: The school board planned to conduct a national search for new district head.

FBI Still Thinks Impersonating Journalists Is A-Okay: "I'm not willing to say never," said FBI director James Comey in a briefing with reporters.
