“We have to rethink and reimagine policing, including our culture and budget,” Durkan said Monday. “We are asking police officers more and more to deal with all the problems society has created.”

Durkan still doesn't know that she's the problem.

I hope the mostly-peaceful rioters and mostly-peaceful looters have her address.

[wally_bert]

What a delusional fool.

[sheehan]

just another dumb dyke trying to save her dumb ass.

the irony is before the pandemic & CHAZ, there were billboards and ads all around WA for new recruits to join the Seattle Police Dept, with signing bonuses.

private security is exploding for the rich Seattle neighborhoods.

What if they cut all the LBQTABCXYZ budget? Aw, that would cut off all of Dirty Durkan’s buddies from their government teat. She’d much rather slip money to her homies than to police to protect the people.

cuts?

I thought they were getting rid of the police.

Or was that somewhere else.

Or are people realizing how absurd that is?

Andrea mitchell almost got attacked by some weirdo..and ..she asked..not where are the social workers..but police

[tennmountainman]

The pain is about to get real for Seattle Residents

[RockyTx]

apparently, the SPD is having trouble
shaking down CHOPville

[butlerweave]

Ya you don’t need the Police when you’re being Invaded

[lgjhn23]

They should totally defund the mayor’s office.

[freedumb2003]

No problem. I suspect SPD will have so many vacancies they will soon be calling Seattle “pine tree detroit.”

No cops, no need for $

[TChad]

What has Durkan done to Seattle property values?

[inchworm]

Good bye businesses.

[Covenantor]

Excerpts:

“....Durkan has also asked her staff and the police department to prepare models by the end of July of what 20%, 30% and 50% budget cuts would look like.....”

She’s also proposed spending $100 million to invest in communities of colors in the 2021 budget, but the specifics have not been defined....”

Why not also cut the fire department so the rioters can burn the city to ashes. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to live in Seattle let alone operate a business there with soon virtually no police force and a mayor who allows a large area of the city to be occupied by anarchists.
