Seattle: More Pimps, Fewer Cops
Let’s consider two recent news items about law enforcement—or, should we say, “law enforcementâ€â€”in Seattle:
First, on September 22 came a report that the city had hired a professed pimp, one Andre Taylor, to provide “alternatives to policing.†For this “work,†Taylor, a self-styled “Street Czar,†will be paid $150,000 a year.
We might note that in addition to his time as a pimp—and that’s not Virgil calling him that, that’s Taylor calling himself that, as he starred in a documentary entitled American Pimp—Taylor, earlier this year, reportedly tried to extract $2 million from the city of Seattle to “support†the short-lived police-free Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone. He apparently had to settle for a mere $100,000.
Oh, and back in the days when he was a pimp, some of the girls he was trafficking were reportedly underage. So Virgil is willing to hazard a guess that Taylor might not prove helpful for keeping Seattle safe. As Taylor said of himself earlier this year, “I was born from the streets; I come out of the deep darkness.†Yet now, supposedly, he’ll be a shining star of Seattle law enforcement.
