In today's Uncertain Economy, American financing is helping families find a way out of the high-interest trap.

You know, it might be hard to believe, but it was only a year ago when girl boss enforcement officials in New Orleans oversaw one of the largest jail breaks in modern history. And then having unleashed 10 hardened criminals, mostly murderers, on the general public, the overwhelmingly female and black leadership of the New Orleans Police Department and the Sheriff's Department, let the entire world know that they did not care in the slightest bit about what had just transpired. First, they took more than seven hours to sound the alarm. Just to make sure the murderers had a sporting chance of getting away, which was very nice of them. And then, as you can see here, one of these black female law enforcement officials showed up to a press conference looking like the Riddler, which in hindsight was a fitting choice because the escape turned out to be an inside job. Credit where it's due in the New Orleans Police Department, they understand that if you're going to transform a city into Gotham, then there's no point in half measures. You got to take it all the way. And their timing could have been a little bit better though. Just a few months earlier, we all witnessed the Karen Bass Catastrophe where she was on a diplomatic trip to Africa while entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles burned to the ground. It was yet another debacle that had everybody talking about DEI. And then to make matters worse, people found a video where a high-ranking lesbian Los Angeles firefighter said she wasn't worried about the fact that she's too weak to carry a man out of a burning building because the man deserved to die anyway for getting caught in a fire. So that didn't help the situation either. We talked about at the time. Now, in any event, truth be told, these DEI meltdowns have become so common that they're almost not worth talking about anymore. They're like the bombings during the Russian Revolution at a certain point. They're so constant that you simply can't keep up with them. But today we're going to make an exception because of a truly unique DEI dumpster fire that's currently unfolding in the city of Seattle, which recently elected a socialist mayor, a 44-year-old woman named Katie Wilson. This is her first job, by the way, which she's had in her entire life. And in case you missed it, early Sunday evening, there was a shootout at a food festival near Seattle's Space Needle. Three people died, including a 19-year-old who was involved in the shooting. At least four people, including a toddler, were injured. The shooting caused a panic, as you might imagine. Food vendors were running in every direction. Watch.

After the Seattle Center shooting, at about 6 p.m. Sunday, victims, Bind of Seattle attendees and people across Seattle, needed information from city leaders. But they'd have to wait for nearly five hours, waiting for dignitaries.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:31)
We need the police first and foremost.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:34)
Who are these so-called dignitaries?

**SPEAKER_5** (3:36)
They'll be here in a minute.

FOX 13 News pressed Mayor Katie Wilson and Police Chief Shawn Barnes as to why. Barnes was in Texas attending an awards ceremony.

**Sean Barnes** (3:45)
I was not in town yesterday. I wish that I had a crystal ball and we could schedule gun violence, but we can't.
Yesterday, I was in Dallas at the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives Conference. It's their 50th anniversary.

Reporters repeatedly asked his team at the scene for answers. Victims were on the ground covered in white sheets and officers were everywhere. But we were told little about how deadly the scene was, how many people were hurt and what danger remained.

Yes, at the time of the shooting, the chief of the Seattle Police Department was in Dallas, attending a conference for an organization called the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. The black police chief was attending this DEI event that was organized exclusively for black law enforcement executives, hence the name. Meanwhile, for more than five hours, no one in Seattle knew how many shooters were on the loose. No one knew how many people had been killed. No emergency alerts or text messages went out. Instead, reporters were told that they had to wait for the arrival of dignitaries. We'll have more on that later. Now, to be clear here, because the names can get confusing, I have to admit, we need to distinguish the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives from the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement. So those are two totally separate things. And those two organizations in turn have nothing to do with the National Association of Black Law Enforcement or the African American Police League, nor should any of those esteemed organizations be confused with the National Black Police Association or a group called Blacks in Law Enforcement of America.
