Selby agrees with protesters who say reforms are needed as to how communities are policed, especially in regards to people of color.
”We're just beginning to chip away at institutional racism in law enforcement across the country, but also in our own community,” Selby said.
“Including Crisis Response units, with trained social workers responding to people that are experiencing a mental health breakdown so they're not greeted with an officer, versus somebody that is not in a uniform,” Selby said.
Selby said at the next city council meeting, members will discuss limiting the use of tear gas.
As for calls to defund the police?
Selby said it will be discussed in the city of Olympia.
