I was on you tube looking for a council meeting, one of the 3 that I know of where they discussed my case. I found this video instead
This is a situation that occurred at the QFC on Broadway in Everett. A black man went into the QFC where employees accused him of shoplifting Everett Officer Franklin responded, it is unclear to me if he was on duty or if he was hired to stay at the store itself as security, the employees & Officer Franklin assaulted the man according to witnesses & then left him bloody on the walkway. Officer Franklin AND the employees cancelled the calls for an ambulance TWICE, & stood outside smoking & laughing while the man laid on the ground writhing & crying in pain.
Below are the comments so you can get a feel for the climate of Everett. I guess nothing has changed since I was a little girl there… It should be NOTED that this situation happened before K Atwood took over as Chief of Police so hopefully she has taken some action on it. I will go try to find out anything was ever done about this.
More importantly it should be noted that this is a thinking, living feeling human being, no matter what color of skin he is wrapped in. He has the same worth as anyone else, he was hurting, & crying out in pain while people laughed, but there were the brave souls who STAYED BY HIS SIDE So this behavior is not indicative of the CITIZENS of Everett. These people embody the true spirit of Heroism, but you didn’t see them at any Mayoral awards ceremony, they were not honored, they were shunned… I mean it’s not like they stopped a car prowler from stealing from the Mayor’s car or anything important like that.
This is the climate you are supporting by voting for the same people over & over again, yes I know Everett City Council has ONE black man on their council… Ron Gipson. No one here has ever heard of the Token Black Man? He got in solely on the merits of his father’s service to the community, Mr Carl Gipson who KNEW he was the Token but he still forged through & did good works, if the junior Gipson was making a change or a difference I would support him but he is not, he does nothing, he comes up with a heart string motion once in a while but there is nothing extraordinary in his service that I can find. Not to mention he is ONE OF THE ORIGINAL COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO VOTED ON THE BSL TO KILL ALL TERRIERS IN THE CITY OF EVERETT & HE OVERSEES IT TO THIS DAY TO MAKE SURE THEY KILL ALL THE TERRIERS… Talk about reverse discrimination. He is listed as the head of the shelter, but this Deborah Wright who keeps snooping around my pages is also claiming she is the head of the shelter, then there is Bud Wessman who used to be the manager & the head of their 501(c)3, then quit that to head the charity, now he is out but up until a couple weeks ago he was still listed as the manger & Shannon Delgado was listed as the asst manager, but since I made a big stink about it NOW she is listed as the manager but this D Wright is still claiming to be the head, yet R Gipson is still listed as such. All of this is just a big clusterf*ck with a bunch of helpless animals at their mercy who are being murdered because they were also born in the wrong skin… Some things never change.
This couldn’t happen at Safeway or Walmart. They have better management and control their workers. Ray is a terrible Asst. manager. He is weak and corrupt. He lets the workers do whatever they want. Me and my Christian friends have decided to find somewhere else to gather. The workers at QFC Broadway have no social skills and are unfriendly. I blame terrible management. The store went to hell under Ray and the current manager. They need to bring in STRICT management.
SeaPD2 5 months agoWow, the hateful messages are pretty interesting. They come right from people who admit to being the nightcrew at Broadway QFC. I would back off the threats folks. You are not even close to finding out the “several” people we are or the many who have tipped us off. In fact, you are way off. There is NO EXCUSE for a man being left laying in his own drool, face down for an hour in front of your store! That is the only issue here. I would chill out if I was you unless you want the Herald involved.
STOPQFCABUSE 8 months agoImpersonating a police officer is indeed a felony and corporate needs to know that an employee used the company phones to commit a felony and to try to get a customer fired from their job! Whoever it is should be fired on the spot!!!
STOPQFCABUSE 8 months agoSeems that HOWARD is on thin ice with the company. He actually called up a cab company and tried to get a cabbie fired. Howard called Yellow Cab and claimed he was a police officer and told the cab driver’s boss that the cab driver was banned from the property! Howard? Can you say FELONY??? It is a crime to impersonate a police officer!! You a-holes shouldn’t be smoking at the front entrance you slobs!
foreststarchild 8 months agoJust found out that pervert Bob isn’t allowed to work there days because he flirts with too many people. The cop is married!!! And have you seen the night crew? Slobs! They don’t even shower or shave. I agree that Everett has a homeless problem. I am anything but liberal. But that store has a bad rep for gossip, abuse and terrible customer service. Safeway has really strict security, but you wouldn’t catch this happening. Nope. That QFC has hurt too many people.
foreststarchild 1 year ago@SomeFishDude We DID do something. We called the police and an ambulance repeatedly. You don’t move an injured man. The situation at QFC happened because he was abused by QFC staff and left for dead. The man stayed on the ground because Officer Bob kept canceling the ambulance. The issue here is that QFC staff ignored the man’s cries and Officer Bob repeatedly canceled the ambulance. Filming abuse isn’t stupid. It is brave. Perhaps a public picket or civil unrest might work more next time!!!!!
foreststarchild 1 year agoIt is about time that someone shows how abusive and unprofessional the night people are at QFC. Now all they have to do is fire that fat slob Howard. I can’t believe that the management lets their night crew dress and act like slobs. Have you seen them? They don’t even shave and Howard’s shirt is so old and dirty it is GREY!
