Seattle Interim Police Chief Andre Sayles is catching fire from social media users over his choice of terms to describe the shooters in a trio of deadly incidents that went down over the long Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

Like many other big cities under Democrat control, the once pristine jewel of the Northwest has a serious crime problem, and criminals tend to act out violently, often killing each other \u2013 and innocent people \u2013 with guns.<\/p>\n

Three Seattle-area residents ended their holiday weekend with a trip to the morgue, and during a Monday news conference on the shootings, Sayles raised eyebrows when he referred to the killers as \u201ctrigger pullers,\u201d which some critics suggest sugarcoats the violent offenders.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrigger pullers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s police chief Andre Sayles is facing criticism for referring to shooting suspects in his city as \u201ctrigger pullers\u201d while discussing gun violence and the deadly Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

Some local commentators say the phrase downplays the seriousness of the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/hSEdUsooGC<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking at ways to where we can identify individuals that are known, we call trigger pullers, in our community,\u201d Sayles said. \u201cIdentifying them, making sure that we\u2019re putting cases on those individuals, working with King County Prosecutor\u2019s Office, to bring these individuals to justice, because the families that lost loved ones, throughout the year and years past, deserve justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shootings all took place in the vicinity of the city\u2019s Belltown neighborhood, which left three dead and three more injured during a 24-hour period, with one of the deadly incidents occurring at around 1 a.m. on Sunday after a fight at a street takeover escalated, leaving a 20-year-old man dead and two more young men injured.<\/p>\n

A 23-year-old woman was also left dead when a \u201ctrigger puller\u201d fired several shots into a car, and a 17-year-old was killed after a fight went to an entirely new level.<\/p>\n

X users ridiculed the term, which at best downplays the violence, and at worst, is yet another example of the left\u2019s relentless war on the English language.<\/p>\n

So in Seattle we aren\u2019t calling them \u201cshooters\u201d anymore? Now they are \u201ctrigger pullers\u201d? pic.twitter.com\/fiYvVMYpQO<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, let\u2019s protect the criminals so we don\u2019t hurt their feelings<\/p>\n

Will they still use the term if it\u2019s a white person of color doing it? Just curious is all<\/p>\n

Shootings are surging. Seattle is worried about the vocabulary.<\/p>\n

You cannot make this stuff up.<\/p>\n

This is how leftism works.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no end goal. Moving the goal posts constantly with increasingly weird pedantic changes that no one asked for, IS the goal.<\/p>\n

Oh man, I was really worried that there would be gangbangers shooting and killing eachother with full-auto glocks.<\/p>\n

Instead, there will be economically disadvantaged friend groups full of trigger pullers who drastically hinder the life expectancy of their compatriots with\u2026<\/p>\n

However, the term is not without precedent, and as Fox News reports<\/a>, it has been used by former FBI Director Christopher Wray.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou all know what\u2019s driving the violent crime in your states,\u201d the ex-FBI boss said in 2022 remarks to the Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a community where a disproportionate amount of gun violence takes place or rival gangs wreaking havoc in a particular region or a handful of well-known trigger pullers who keep finding their way back to the streets, no matter how many times they\u2019re arrested, at the FBI, we want to be your integral partner in the fight against violent crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orwell would be proud.<\/p>\n
