Seattle City Council passes resolution to abolish their Police Department

[task0778]

" SPD officials say 56 percent of its response calls are non-criminal in nature. "

Has anyone seen what the new plan is to deal with those 'non-criminal' situations? Seriously, who's going to respond to criminal activity, especially when violence is on-going or imminent? Fewer cops or no cops is an invitation to organized crime and street gangs, it's like having a gun-free zone; guess where the terrorists go to kill people. And who's going to respond in those situations, who's going to confront the shooters? A social worker?

Nothing wrong with trying to utilize your public safety people more effectively, in non-violent circumstances. But if you don't have sufficient numbers of armed cops by whatever name you call them, then you're going to have a safety problem in your city. No cops does not result in no violence.

If you put out an ad to sell your riding lawnmower at an unbelievable price, you are going to get a lot of people responding.

All it's going to take is the first social worker, psychiatrist, or counselor to get hurt or killed because a non-violent situation got out of control and they couldn't defend themselves, and then you're going to see lawsuits up the ass. Afterwards the people will be demanding their police force back in full swing.

It's just a damn shame that somebody or some people will suffer until that happens.

They already have organized crime in Seattle and Washington in general. They're known as the mayor and council of Seattle and the governor of Washington. They're all assholes and ignoramuses.

The organized crime in Oregon and Washington is run by...wait for it...illegals up from our southern border. Rampant drug trafficking and all the crime that comes with it. Illegals move their entire families up here to work the drug trade. And before any idiot libs start running their mouth, National Geographic did a documentary on this and filmed the illegals and their families only 20 miles from my house.
