I'm guessing that this sort of article doesn't exactly help Officer recruitment for the Seattle Police Department. If you want to spend your career beating your head against a brick wall there are probably many other ways to do it.

So exactly what are they arresting these people for?
Seems to be an important piece of the puzzle.

The "underlying problem" is a system that's soft on criminals. Iow, liberalism.
I live at 5th and Wall - which isn’t too bad - but going Dow to 2nd or 3rd can be a real nightmare sometimes.
50 well placed shots would do wonders for that area. I think the neighborhood residents would be thrilled crime would drop so much so fast.
Remove the criminals and crime goes with them. No idea why we keep letting criminals go.
Gee, these fellas don’t learn their lesson. They are going to get demerits if they won’t straighten up and fly right.
It sounds like catch-and-release is being treated as an industry. Lots of arrests means abundant employment for the legal system. As a bonus, at tax increase time, it gives them extra leverage. Give us that tax increase, or you won’t be safe. There won’t be enough judges, attorneys, jails, court houses, or police.
When I go to Seattle, I always stay in Belltown. lol In fact, usually on 1st or 2nd and Bell or Wall. Yeah, I guess there are some unsavory characters, but better than Capitol Hill.
