Police tweet chief’s Torchlight selfie after urging public to limit cell use

One day after Seattle police ask Torchlight Parade attendees to limit social media, the department tweeted a selfie of Chief Kathleen O’Toole.

Do as they say, not as they do?

Just one day after Seattle police asked people attending Saturday evening’s Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade to voluntarily go on a phone diet and limit their use of social media, the department tweeted out a selfie featuring the chief.

The selfie of Chief Kathleen O’Toole and members of the department’s Neighborhood Response Team, and was tweeted out by @SeattlePD with a hashtag indicating it was taken at the Torchlight parade.
