Seattle City Council moves to abolish the entire Seattle Police Department and replace it with a "civilian led Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention."
They want to replace the police force with nonprofit programs and "community-led activities."
In the proposed legislation, the council argues that the Seattle Police Department "[perpetuates] racism and violence" and upholds "white supremacy culture."
The council endorses the "Decriminalize Seattle" agenda that would replace the police force with:
–"Culturally-relevant expertise rooted in community connections"
–"Housing, food security, and other basic needs"
–"Trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis"
And finally, the plan demands that the City conduct an "immediate transfer of underutilized public land for BIPOC community ownership"—in essence, the redistribution of land, which is a hallmark of Marxist regimes.
1. This is proposed legislation, which I assume their mayor will shoot down BUT - that city council apparently has the votes to override her veto. Would this legislation have to be approved by the voters? If so, it should fail; if it doesn't, well I guess you get the gov't you voted for.
2. If I'm a cop in Seattle I'm looking for another job, NOW. Either way, I don't want to risk my life for these bozos.
3. If I'm a business person or investor, this ain't the place to start up a business or expand one. In fact, in many cases this is a place where you want to relocate to a safer and saner environment. Like in a red state.
4. No cops, woohoo! If I'm a gang or drug dealer or crook of any kind including organized crime, this is the place to go.
