Seattle Interim Police Chief Andre Sayles used a woke term to describe shooters during a press conference on Monday. Credit: FOX 13 Seattle screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A police chief in one of America\u2019s most notorious left-wing cities has decided the word \u201cshooter\u201d is too mean and a more sensitive term is needed to replace it. As one would expect, this is already backfiring.<\/p>\n

On Monday, interim Seattle Police Chief Andre Sayles held a press conference to address the three fatal shootings that occurred over the weekend in the city\u2019s Belltown neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The Belltown area of the Emerald City has recently experienced a surge <\/a>in violence. In addition to the shootings, residents have complained <\/a>about rampant illegal drug use, burglaries, and property damage.<\/p>\n

After a reporter asked Sayles what was being done to combat the increase in violence, the police chief gave an unconvincing answer before seemingly inventing a new term to describe shooters.<\/p>\n

\u201c(We\u2019re) working with our community response group and our gun violence reduction unit as well,\u201d Sayles said. \u201cLooking at ways to identify individuals that are\u2026trigger pullers in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trigger pullers sound like something a toddler would use. But Sayles is apparently so scared of offending criminals that he feels compelled to use this silly, childish term.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udea8\"Seattle is a Democrat run bloodbath after defunding their police and decriminalizing everything but heroin. Now, the new Woke Black Lives Matter loving interim police chief refuses to call thugs doing shootings, shooters.<\/p>\n

Social media users reacted to Sayles\u2019 description of those who shoot others with a mix of anger, amusement, and ridicule.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\" Shooters are now called \u201ctrigger pullers\u201d by Seattle police.<\/p>\n

You read that right.<\/p>\n

Woke madness over there now requires you to avoid calling shooters what they are in order to spare their FEELINGS. \"\ud83e\udd23\"<\/p>\n

Seattle is truly in a hopeless state if the cops are too afraid to use basic terms that have been in existence for centuries. One could say, however, that this press conference is the perfect encapsulation of the city, especially considering who the mayor<\/a> is.<\/p>\n
