Insane: Seattle Moves to Abolish Entire Police Force [second thread]

Well, it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all because what local lawmakers are doing is nothing short of allowing the city to be engulfed in violence and anarchy. They’re moving to abolish the police. It’s not defunding. It’s a total dissolution. Non-profit programs and “community-led activities” will replace policing. Why? Well, according to the resolution, the Seattle Police Department perpetuates racism and violence. Oh, yes, and it’s a vehicle of white supremacy. It's typical 'woke' nonsense

Good, this will be a nice pilot program to show people the new society liberals want to give America.

If the people in Seattle elect these idiots and then stand by and let them enact idiotic polices, then they will just have to live with the results.

“..The left is trying to spark a civil war by getting the right to fire the first shots....”

In this case, those that fire the LAST SHOTS, are the winners. :)

“Then, maybe those stupid, stupid voters might see the error of their ways.”

I don’t want them to see the error of their ways..I want them to die believing their shit to the last breath.

Let’s see, I’m about 1,300 miles from Seattle.

Should be far enough...

The Seattle city council IS Antifa.

They unlocked the doors to city hall to let the protesters in.

They gave the mayors address to Antifa.

No no NO!

Seattle will become the base of operations for the new USSA and use that to launch attacks on the rest of the state and then eventually all of the western coast.

Do you NOT understand how insurrections work?

This is how Castro overran Cuba.
This is how China was overthrown by the communists.

It’s the same damn playbook.

They’re already infiltrating the military and getting support from China.

No, Dodge had Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and for a time a No Carry Ordinance on one side of The Deadline. Getting the popcorn ready to watch Seattle. This could be fun.

You’re an idiot. The people in Seattle did not vote for this.

The elections offices are populated by Marxists indoctrinated in the city colleges finding employment after graduation with the City over the past decades.

The elections are rigged and the people in Seattle are still in shock not knowing what to do but they are now getting organized and spreading awareness.

There are hundreds of thousands of good people and families in Seattle but their vote has been stolen.

Exhibit One brought to ou by Stefan Sharkansky:

This is now prevalent in other cities and will be coming to you unless you first stop blaming voters and start getting educated about what is happening o the voting system.

You are absolutely correct. There are only two ways to stop this: The Federal Government declares Martial Law and send troops to put down the insurrection, or failing that, we the people do our duty and form militias and put down the insurrection.

I hate to say it, but the time to be armchair patriots is long over. We either need to rise up now and take action, or just join the left before they start building work camps.

***************

That would be the 5,000 square foot home valued at $7.5 million. Interesting how Antifa does not seem to have a problem with such wealth and privilege.

And then when there's nothing left of any business or jobs, with no tax revenue coming in for anything the CC won't be getting paid and then of course blame Trump and demand federal funds to pay their salaries. Oh, and keep federal "Storm Troopers" out of the city.

Tourism is gone and those restaurants along Alaska Way/waterfront are closing due to Der Fuhrer Inslee draconian measures; he's now put on hold indefinitely the next phases of opening things up.

So just sitting back watching the collapse of once a pretty and vibrant city.

“what do you think is going to happen to lawful citizens who defend themselves?”

I contend with no cops, nothing will happen to lawful citizens who defend themselves.

I hope that Trump pulls back every dime of grants and funds that are earmarked for the police.
