Watch: Seattle Hires Pimp to Be 'Street Czar'

Who's the last person you'd expect a major city to hire as a consultant to handle police-civilian relations?

If you answered "A pimp from Seattle who moonlights on daytime talk shows" you'd be correct.

Ari Hoffman reports:

The city of Seattle has hired an ex-pimp at a $150,000 a year salary as the new "Street Czar," Andre Taylor. Before Taylor was contracted by the city to provide "expertise and support services in de-escalation, community engagement, and alternatives to policing," he was engaged in prostitution.
According to KOMO news, "…under the terms of the year-long contract, the city will pay Taylor and his group, called Not This Time, $150,000" for their services.
"The contract was signed by a representative from the city's Department of Neighborhoods on June 22, as the CHOP demonstrations were still unfolding. Taylor didn't sign the contract, however, until July 27."
In Las Vegas, Cheryl Davis admitted to being a prostitute and living in Taylor's home, with two other women who were engaged in the same concern, one who was a teen runaway and the other who had years of experience, and is now facing felony charges in association with prostitution.
