Four council members - Tammy Morales, Kshama Sawant, Teresa Mosqueda and M. Lorena González - have said 50% of the Police Department’s budget should be redirected, and other council members have said they support reductions to some extent.

Will the socialists all have private security?

And they likely do not trust an armed citizenry. I guess that the openly lesbian mayor was not “woke” enough for these people, eh?

“Durkan proposed about $20 million in cuts to the Police Department last month, among other changes to Seattle’s 2020 budget that she said would address unexpected city spending related to COVID-19, account for diminished tax revenues during the economic shutdown and combat racial inequity”

What a joke, Seattle just passed a new tax on large Corps and high income individuals that will raise over 200 million PER YEAR. It will be interesting if leftist scumbag Bezos greases up and bends over and pays up or pulls Amazon out out of Scumattle.

By the end of summer, enough empty apartments in the downtown area will demonstrate that people don’t feel safe in the interior of the city. Cafes, bars, and restaurants will cite declining revenue. In five years, it’ll be another Detroit or Baltimore.

Great idea. I think it will work out excellently for them.

Maybe local citizens could cut deals with local warlords/militia leaders? They could pay tribute in monthly payments to be allowed to operate their businesses, etc.

There’s plenty of conservative areas in Washington. Every blue state has red areas. Just stay away from urban areas,be armed and you should be okay. Believe me. I live in Mexifornia. Basically for the weather.

Seattle is on the way of becoming a no go zone where no sane person without private security will venture.

That's all they need!

Why not just close down the police department once and for all?

Too late for that. The well-trained security guards have already been hired out. If the socialist/commie clowns are real lucky, they’ll find a fat mall cop from a temp agency.
