Seattle hires convicted ex-pimp as ‘street czar’ to work on police reform, paying him $150k
SEATTLE, WA- The city of Seattle has hired an ex-pimp who has been convicted of running a prostitution operation, including pimping underage girls, at a $150,000 a year salary who now holds the title of “Street Czar.”
According to reports, the new hire, Andre Taylor, has been contracted by the city to provide “expertise and support services” in de-escalation, community engagement, and alternatives to policing.” Taylor said:
“A street czar is a person who has a particular genius in a particular area. I know the term ‘street czar’ is quite provocative.”
Taylor claims that the role will benefit the city and its outreach efforts to the community. He also said that he devised the title by following a practice by former President Barack Obama of designating “czars” to handle a variety of areas of interest while he was in the White House. Taylor said:
“This should be a prominent position because it could help quell some of the incidents that are going on between community and cities.”
The New York Post reported that Taylor first found notoriety in Las Vegas, where he was sentenced in 2000 to more than five years in prison, serving little more than a year. Some of the girls he pimped for were underage. Taylor said in a YouTube video:
“I was born from the streets. I come out of the deep darkness.”
He then bragged about how he had children with some of the women who were there with him when he was a pimp. In the video he said:
“We decided we were going to be this subculture, like the Mafia, whether you liked it or not. We knew you considered us the waste of the world from the beginning. We didn’t care what you thought about us, just like I don’t care what you think about me now.”
