oo:
No way man. The dude is a young kid. Who hasn't yelled at someone when they were young, dumb, and drunk (and fresh off getting a bunch of money). I've seen people do that a million times going out in Seattle, he isn't doing anything new. That type of behavior deserves an apology, not losing your job.
Who cares about PR though? Most people hate Seattle so unless it's in regards to the individual marketability of a player bad PR means nothing. This guy is 21, he's young and stupid; hating the police and talking shit to them isn't exactly shocking from a young black male (who doesn't hate the police in 2017 besides old republicans?) but he obviously needs to learn how to handle his shot better (nothing wrong with talking shit to cops but it usually is pretty stupid to do) and I think that's what he was on about rather than being elitist (he was trying to insult them because they are police, it seems).
I don't think this behavior is unique to Seattle but the difference is Pete not only allows his players to be vocal on all subject matters he encourages it so we see a lot more vocal players from Sherm to Michael Bennett and others who are all mostly against the police in one form or another. Some of them definitely need work on knowing when and how to express certain things.

Yeah Kam is almost certainly done, but I'm pretty sure he'll be on IR next season as I read he gets $11 million or something along those lines as long as he's on the team, he wisely got some injury protection in his contract so ad long ad GE doesn't retire they got to pay him.

The defense is going to see some changes but they are in a good position to get younger, free up some cap space and be a top defense again.
First I think they should sign Maxwell to a 2 or 3 year contract, he clearly is perfect for this system and struggles anywhere else, which teams are aware of so he's not going to get any big offers elsewhere again. They can get him fir relatively cheap.
Shaq
Sherman
Maxwell
Coleman
McDougald
Earl
Because Shaq, Coleman and McDougald are on rookie contracts I think they can afford to keep all these guys. They only really have to pay Sherm and Maxwell.
Coleman and Maxwell can play nickle packages and fill in for Sherm/Shaq when injured. That's great depth.
Shead is the only question mark here. They might value him more than Maxwell but to me Maxwell is the better player and we still don't know how good he'll be after his injury.
Same could be said for Sherman I suppose, they could try to cut ties with him too and free up $11 million if he's traded. 30 years old, one year left on contract coming off big injury. I don't see that happening though, I think he's too talented and too important to this defense to let go.
Offense, I have no idea what they're going to do. If Cable and Bevell both return I doubt they get much better though. It's time for new minds with the offense.
