Seattle Officials Can’t Agree on How to Remove Human Crap from Sidewalks – Councilman Argues Power Washers are Racist, Since Hoses Used Against Blacks in Past
Seattle has a human feces problem on their streets and sidewalks. But the city council cannot agree on how to remove the crap.
Councilmember Larry Gossett says power-washing the sidewalks bring up images of using hoses against civil rights activists.
The Seattle News reported:
Some committee members expressed concern about addressing the symptoms of the area’s problems without getting to the cause. Councilmember Larry Gossett said he didn’t like the idea of power-washing the sidewalks because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.Another council member, Claudia Balducci, suggested that the county consider using social-service employees in partnership with police.
So is Larry comparing crap on the sidewalk to civil rights protesters?
