Fire all the whites on the City Council as well.

The Seattle City Council is facing something of a dilemma in its popular pledge to cut the police budget by 50 percent. To do so would require firing a significant number of police officers, which is also popular. The problem is that the firing would be done by seniority and many of the less senior officers are black. The solution according to City Council member Lisa Herbold is simple: fire officers based on their race. While that would be the definition of racial discrimination, Herbold clearly believes that it is discrimination for a good cause. The federal courts are likely to disagree. Most notably, Herbold’s call for racial discrimination against white officers would seek to undue the work of Justice Thurgood Marshall who insisted that racial discrimination unlawful and evil regardless of the race you want to disenfranchise or discriminate against.
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best released a video calling the plan of Herbold and others “completely reckless.” She also sent a letter to Mayor Jenny Durkan warning that dramatic cuts would require the layoff of hundreds of officers. The Police Department also warned that the firings would include many minority officers.
It was only the last risk that concerned Herbold who promptly suggested discriminating on the basis of race:
Herbold insists that this would be perfectly legal despite the prohibitions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
What concerns me most is not that such calls for racial discrimination are possibly constitutional but that they are so clearly popular.
The EEOC amplifies this point on its website: “It is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race or color in regard to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment.”

Because I honestly don't think America's naive, stupid crackers are going to wake up to the threat to their existence.
War has been declared. But only blacks are fighting.
Go ahead and do it. Then the officers who are fired can retire early off the massive lawsuit they’ll easily win and the city can get one step closer to bankruptcy. The sooner these idiots run out of money, the sooner their failed “progressive” policies can come crashing down with them.
S/he has a nose booger...eeewwww
That Seattle elected a MORON as a city council member... 😋
But then, Seattle is Native American for 'Crazy Liberals Lives Here'! 😋
It has my vote.
Fire all the whites on the City Council as well.
These democrat leaders of states and cities are so Hitlereque.
We are the new Goldsteins, per Orwell.
But really so is anoyne who disagrees with them openly.
They want to bring in their thugs who will go after white people.
Yeah, well, if “the killings” start in earnest, that will pretty much bring millions of patriots off the sidelines who are currently watching and not participating.
At that point, nobody will know their ass from peanut butter for several weeks as the corpses start piling up all across the country.
For the unfortunate captives in the seceded state, I grant succor.
On application, certain California counties certified as free of the progressive scourge can be readmitted.
Interesting. All 4 of her Legislative Assistants are also white. HMMMM?
