SEATTLE, Wash. — Some Seattle Council members are calling for Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign.
Just 3 days after Seattle’s mayor and police chief promised to temporarily ban the use of tear gas against protesters, the police department used it again to disperse crowds.
That brought severe criticism Monday from City Council members.
Council President Lorena Gonzales said the time is past for mere “reform” of the police department, and that the council must think in a “transformational way” about how the city views public safety and how it funds the police.
