Seattle pays convicted pimp $150,000 to be its 'Street Czar' and come up with 'alternatives to policing' as he boasts he can talk to 'gangsters and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else'
Andrè Taylor signed a $12,500 a month deal with the city on July 27 to work as its community liaison, according to the contract published by PubliCola last week
Taylor said he can talk to 'gang members, pimps and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else'
His nonprofit Not This Time will provide recommendations to the city on de-escalation, community engagement and alternatives to policing
Mayor Jenny Durkan's office said the partnership would 'help de-escalate the ongoing situation' by tapping into Taylor's 'lived experience'
In 2016, Taylor vowed to 'go to war' with Seattle after his brother Che Taylor was shot dead by cops
Taylor then set up Not This Time which champions statewide police reforms
This year he emerged as an ally to Mayor Durkan speaking out against the controversial CHOP zone where two people were shot dead
He was then exposed in a secret recording offering to negotiate a million-dollar package with the city on behalf of CHOP occupiers in exchange for them leaving
Back in 2000, Taylor was convicted of seven prostitution-related counts
