Following multiple reports alleging that King County prosecutors are failing to consistently charge repeat “prolific” offenders and people resisting arrest, another local law enforcement group is weighing in.

The Washington State Fraternal Order of Police Officers , saying that recent reports regarding these accusations “are casting light on a long-standing front-line law enforcement frustration.”

“A failure to consistently prosecute repeat and prolific offenders does immeasurable damage to the public鈥檚 sense of safety and fails to consider the victims and the unintended negative impact on the community when such decisions are made,” the news release reads.

A representative from WAFOP echoed those sentiments.

“The public is frustrated by the volume of property crime in their communities; they鈥檙e similarly frustrated with watching these repeat offenders escalate in the severity of their crimes,” WAFOP Executive Director Lynnette Buffington told 成人X站 Radio.

Recent frustrations from law enforcement have also stemmed from a reported unwillingness from the King County Prosecutor’s office to charge criminals for assaulting police officers while resisting arrest.

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg recently stated that his office would 鈥渘ot file [charges] when the assault can be best described as resisting鈥� an arrest from an officer.

“Those who assault law enforcement officers must be held accountable,” WAFOP’s statement fired back. “The working men and women in Washington law enforcement risk their lives every day and should be recognized as victims of assault when an individual(s) deliberately inflicts injury or severe pain on the officer.”

This whole controversy first made headlines in late February, when a study from former Ed Murray staffer Scott Lindsay surfaced, claiming that “prolific” homeless criminal offenders have been repeatedly victimizing Seattle’s neighborhood businesses.

The study analyzed 100 people with 鈥渁 high frequency of criminal activity in Seattle,鈥� and the impact those people have had on public safety in the city鈥檚 busiest neighborhoods. Its conclusion: Repeat offenders have been moving through a revolving door in the King County criminal justice system.

Judges and law enforcement have since spoken out confirming the study’s salient conclusions, most recently in a 成人X站 7 TV report from Deedee Sun.

鈥淚 can鈥檛 even begin to tell you how much of a surprise it was coming from the other side of the country. It was a shock and it still is a shock to me how cases are prosecuted here, or not prosecuted,鈥� Black Diamond Police Commander Larry Colagiovanni told Sun.

鈥淪ome of the cases we鈥檝e sent over there that have been declined have just been crazy. Crazy,鈥� he added.
