City Councilmember Kshama Sawant wrote a letter to officials claiming the Seattle Police Department (SPD) was “failing to investigate” several escalating threats made against her, including feces being thrown at her home repeatedly.

According to Sawant, bags of human feces have been thrown into her yard six times, most recently on Oct. 13. One of these instances was followed by a threatening email sent to Sawant’s city council office, she says, calling her “the queen of s**t” and saying “you can sit on your throne of human excrement.”

Sawant is a member of Socialist Alternative, and suspects the attacks are politically motivated.
