Let the ferals kill each other. My well of sympathy is dry.

“Seattle used to be better.”

When I lived in the region 1980-1981....I thought it was one of the best ‘large’ cities in the US. I talked to someone who grew up there in the late 1990s, and they got to the drug/crime trends, with the prosecutor team and judges just doing enough marginal work to ‘fill’ a square. Maybe they felt they were doing the public a favor....but that drug trend has hit the maximum point where locals aren’t trusting in the city authorities to fix the mess.

Durkan Is getting what she deserves. These leftists don’t think five seconds beyond the consequences of their insane policies.

Finally. If Jenny had been shot a while back, the PD would have been flush with money but since it was only gangbangers, street thugs and radicals, and innocent citizens, she didn’t give a damn and only gave them “bupkis” (small change).

Put a red in power and the streets “run red” as predictably as the sun rises in the morning. Seattle has a lot of “mourning” but it is not the “sunrise, warm kind”.

The mayor’s real name is “Jenny the Jerk” or “Jenny Jerkoff”. Delusional with a smile which you would get if you liked having a pickle up your butt.

Seattle had 1,419 officers in 2019, serving an estimated population of about 764,000 residents, according to...

.........

So they lost only about 1 fifth of the force. 20%.

Who does she think will apply for the job, considering how cops are being treated? I wish these leftist morons would leave and go populate a galaxy far, far away.

Back story...

During the Seattle riots in (I think) May 2020, Mayor Jenny, the Police Chief, and at least one assistant to the Mayor, "accidentally" deleted all their emails during the chaos.

After a "vigorous" investigation, no charges were filed.

Just discovered this have we?

Too late. If I were a cop in Seattle or any other leftist chithole, I’d do the bare minimum, only respond to 911 calls and just wait til I was eligible for my pension. Then leave as soon as I was.

Police in NYC have been content to “work” there without doing their jobs for decades; I suspect it is more likely that Seattle cops left because they were expected to go out and serve as live targets for the trash.

Maybe cities will review their contracts with cops that require so many to retire with full benefits before reaching 50 years old; those contracts burden these places with massive costs for people who retired decades earlier...

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan is directly responsible for the increase in murders and other crimes. They’re all on her.

How about more people carry concealed?

But that’s the smart way of going about it.

That is Commie-speak for Commie indoctrination and Commie theft of resources.
