Rantz: Seattle councilmembers feigned police support before ‘defund police’

The Seattle City Council is suddenly attacking the Seattle Police Department by supporting the defund police movement. But previously, when they needed the votes in the last election, some councilmembers pretended to support law enforcement. One even sought preferential treatment from the police.

The council currently holds veto-proof support of a dangerous defund Seattle police movement, which aims to cut the budget by 50% without a concrete plan. All we know is they want community rights groups to take the place of police and move the 911 call center to civilian control.

Now, Strauss and Lewis stand to fire as many as 1,100 staff members from the department, handing over positions to untrained, ideologically driven community activist groups that oversaw the death and chaos at the CHOP.

Strauss, Lewis, and Herbold - along with five of their colleagues - saw a specific movement to jump on. If handled right, it could propel both their careers and their fringe ideologies FORWARD.

Socialist Councilmembers Kshama Sawant and Tammy Morales are rigid socialists who financially benefit from the young Socialists Alternative cult-like members they exploit.

“Seattle will pay a hefty price for electing socialists.”

The question is will the woke voters wake up now or will they continue to vote for the government that punishes them.

No politician has run on a platform of defunding the police. The next election will be interesting.
