Chief Barnes didn’t spend enough time in our wonderful city. Frankly with all of his trips back to Illinois & other venues between March & now, he doesn’t seem to have given a damn.

Thank you mayor for the transparency and willingness to grow on the job!

Did Wilson just scoop ECB?

Thank you, Mayor Wilson, but given the scope of the serious matter a decision to "fire" the officer would have been warranted. 🇺🇲

I’m so disappointed you’re not taking responsibility for not having a clear crisis communications plan. You should’ve started working on this your first day in office.

So, the interim Chief is from WI, owns a home in WI where his family lives and rents an apartment in Seattle, just like his predecessor. WTF. Perhaps being a cop shouldn't be a WFH situation? Just spit balling here. Seems suboptimal to me.

While the communication throughout all of this has been left wanting, I appreciate you taking accountability and being clear in your words today. Thank you for hearing us, Mayor.

CM Foster bargaining hungry children and today's comments by @councilmember-amr.bsky.social of 'concern' that Barnes was fired. Be on notice that WE ARE DONE with "going along to get along". The era of status quo and cowardice is over. People demand action!

Thank You Mayor WILSON! Leadership takes forward momentum!

thank you, @mayor.seattle.gov

Mayor Wilson is incompetent and should resign. recent "Seattle mismanagement" controversies focus on severe fiscal failures within the homelessness response and leadership instability in public safety. Her administration has undergone a major overhaul of its communications and media relations

You fired Barnes because you saw the social media backlash against him not being in Seattle. You panicked and wanted to DO something after you sat on your hands during an emergency. It’s amateurish. You were terrified about your failures being publicized and made rash move to fix it. It didn’t work.

Thank you for the transparency and leadership.

Thank you for speaking directly and taking steps to address the tragedy. I believe Chief Barnes had to go. Whether it results in culture changes at SPD, we’ll see.

you praise the local militia like you're afraid of them. Grow up, they're just dumb cops.

You still remain completely unqualified for the job. Please consider resigning.

This is good.

Why did you fire Barnes? That was the only missing part of that message.
