Obvious question: Which tv station is next in line to hire Jamie Tompkins?
The Office of Police Accountability launched an investigation into Diaz after several people filed complaints alleging that he and Tompkins had a romantic relationship and that he hired her as a subordinate without disclosing that relationship.
Rumors about Diaz and Tompkins had been swirling for months when KUOW first reported on the allegations publicly, without naming Tompkins. Less than a day after KUOW’s initial report, Diaz fired an employee he accused of inventing the rumor, and the department circulated an internal HR investigation alleging that the employee confessed that he had fabricated the rumor.
I can’t wait for the Netflix movie.
