The leftist city’s experiment with trimming back law enforcement is about to go into overdrive.
Seattle, more than many American cities, vigorously embraced the “Defund the Police” movement. Last year, the Seattle City Council began the process of defunding the police and it’s been continuing ever since, relentlessly slicing away at the city’s police budget. Crime has risen accordingly and people are making noises about getting the police back. However, the radicals have a new arrow in their quiver to reduce the number of police in their city. An October 18 deadline is looming to fire those police who have refused the vaccination and, with only a week to go, roughly 40% of the police force is still unvaccinated.
Since George Floyd’s diseased heart gave out thanks to overdosing on meds and fighting the police, Seattle has been one of those cities that has most enthusiastically sought to rid itself of its police force. Even the fact that the little autonomous zone known as CHAZ instantly turned into warlord hell didn’t deter the council from its mission.
In August 2020, the City Council cut the police force budget by $3.5 million and, instead, put the money into “community public safety programs.” That was by a 7-1 vote. The only person holding out wasn’t doing so because it’s crazy to leave a big city without a police force. Instead, Kshama Sawant felt that the budget cut wasn’t big enough. It was certainly big enough for Police Chief Carmen Best, who promptly resigned. Ironically, this was just months after Sawant and Teresa Mosqueda, another council member, had insisted that the police do their job after a shooting in CHAZ.

The vaxx is just a tool to impose the will of the left.
If you owned real property within the city, and depended upon the police....you probably are thinking of selling and removing yourself from the local area. It’s a script to structure Seattle along the lines of Detroit in ten years.

File this under “People get what they vote for”.
The cops already don’t trust the interim chief of police. Unrelated to the vaccinations. Even those vaccinated are jumping ship.
Minneapolis is trying to do something similar, the city is actually proposing to do away with the current police force and replace it with a new social services force, the proposal will be voted on by the public, you would think something this insane could not possibly pass but I hope it does, I’m sorry but these people need to suffer the consequences of their decisions....Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and any other city willing to go down this road needs to be destroyed and the only way to do that is let them create total chaos and destruction...
The decarceration movement needs a city to transplant the released inmates to.
That is not what Trump had in mind, and remember, it was Neil Cavuto on Fock Snooze who said “This stuff WILL KILL YOU!...”, in reference to taking hydroxychloroquine, while others claimed that Trump was calling for people to inject themselves with bleach. You can’t say “no harm, no foul” as if they meant well and were just caught up in the moment as they did their jobs the best they could. You can’t be so forgiving that it redefines what it means to be a defender of American freedom. The time for standing your ground is now!
The weird part of this is, Seattle real estate prices are through the roof. Most properties sell in days, the Pugetopolis area, (King, Pierce and Snohomish counties), have realtors advertise they will sell your home in 5 days or they won’t charge a commission.
Also, there’s more people moving out of Pugetopolis into the outlying areas. Hell, I live 4 hours west of Seattle out on the Coast and the little town next to my town, Aberdeen, (birthplace of Kurt Cobain, Come as You Are, is the city motto), is the recipient of the largest state infill movements causing everyone’s property values to skyrocket. For everyone moving out of the Pugetopolis area 4 are trying to move in.
That’s exactly what they want. Their desires are total societal breakdown so they can “Build Back Better” as a Marxists Utopia. See Cloward/Piven Strategy. Seattle is following this manifesto to a tee.
Meanwhile, growth in Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, and Rathdrum, Idaho is off the charts.
It certainly won’t take 10 years!
Young morons take their que from ‘movies’ that promote violent, pointless and unworkable politics... it’s why they remain so stupid and immature.
The situation cannot improve even when cars are up on blocks and every house must be fortified and there are bodies in the street and no law abiding citizen possesses a gun or even a knife. The Compassionate Seattlians will frantically vote for more Progressivism because the city is not Progressing fast enough to “get ahead” of the burgeoning crime and the collapse of business. The sane people will all be gone. The ones who can’t afford to move will move anyway.
Whom would you sell to? It’s not like most people don’t know the hell hole zone Seattle is entering. I feel sorry for the real Americans left in Seattle, years worth of saving and investing in property down the drain!
Life imitating “art”.
Big city liberals getting murdered by the forces they unleashed through their own stupidity? What's "not good" about that? I don't think they will learn any other way.
