Edmonds forum hijacked with racist and lewd disruption
EDMONDS — An online public forum for the city’s two police chief candidates was hijacked three times Monday night with inappropriate language, as well as racist and lewd images.
Sherman Pruitt, a person of color in the running to take over the city’s police department, was taking questions when someone interrupted. Because the city has not released the meeting audio, it’s not clear exactly what was said. Next, someone displayed racist and pornographic images, according to people who watched the meeting.
Pruitt and interim Chief Jim Lawless are in the running to fill the position.
“Last night a pathetic, hate-filled coward disrupted our Police Chief public forum on Zoom,” Edmonds Mayor Mike Nelson said in a statement Tuesday. “I have directed our Police Department to investigate this as a crime and bring to light who this pathetic offender is. We are also reaching out to the FBI for cyber assistance to track down the perpetrators.”
