Reducing effective law enforcement in Seattle

"The Seattle city council voted on Tuesday to override the mayor's veto of a bill to defund the Seattle Police Department, voting, again, to defund SPD. Mayor Jenny Durkan's veto was intended to stop drastic cuts to a city budget which would defund parts of the Seattle Police Department budget." (Post Millennial) 

These cuts to the police public safety budget will make Seattle less safe.  Mayor Durken cannot be let off the hook.  When the defund-the-police trouble started brewing back in June, she insisted the massive violence on Capitol Hill was a "Summer block party."

What happens if there is no police force? 

Its clear the rich folk will hire private security personnel -- they're safe. 

 

The politically connected and socialist elites will probably take tax money for their personal protection -- they're safe.  So who will protect the ordinary folk?  Who will protect the ordinary people?

No one, if Seattle City Council stays to its present path.  They are indulging themselves in disgusting political posturing -- or more likely, pure elitism.  The Seattle City Council is going to get protection from their personal body guards; their property will be protected 24/7.

Eliminating police protection is a way of making it clear the ordinary people who need protection don't matter to the city council .  Cripple the police and the last vestige of equality under the law is eliminated.  

 

Or, more plainly, the Seattle City Council is saying "Screw the People."   Vote them out.
