I’m thinking they were protecting their own homes, not hers.

Seattle residents slam proposals to defund the police as ‘a radical experiment.’ Best has been vocal of her opposition to defunding her department by 50%, saying the unproven idea would be a “tragic decision” that would be asking citizens to “to test out a theory that crime goes away if police go away.”

Former Seattle city council candidate Ari Hoffman weighs in.

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best is urging elected leaders to “stand up for what is right” after a group of protesters appeared outside her home over the weekend as pressures continue to mount over the enactment of police reform measures.

On Friday, July 31, Seattle City Council members offered a proposal to cut 100 full-time officers from the department’s budget and create alternative systems to prevent violence and provide community safety.

The latest Crosscut-Elway scientific poll of 402 registered voters in WA conducted July 11-15, found that majority of Washingtonians:
oppose defunding law enforcement agencies.

When asked about changing the current policing model, 62% of those surveyed oppose dismantling and starting over with a new model

and 73% oppose reducing law enforcement funding by 50%.

The Chief may be an affirmative action hire but she’s been on the right side of this.

‘They took pictures of homes and license plates’.

Probably have a supporter in the DMV. The neighbors better use their time well - doubt this is over.

Sadly, Chief Best will still likely still support further restricting 2A rights, or outright bans on them. Why? She hasn’t advised the people that she’s being forced to bail on to arm themselves.

No permit, no protest. Arrest them for domestic terrorism.

The police should have been on the scene and checked those bags the protestors carried (you can legally do that if you suspect that they are carrying weapons of any kind).

Also should have demanded ids from those with the bags anad recorded the license plate numbers of any protestor’s vehicle. Civilians can do it legally and the police can in anticipation of law-breaking by out of town strangers with masks.

In my neighborhood, these punks would have looked like swiss-cheese if they took one illegal step onto private property carrying anything out of the normal (other than their balls and heads).

Looks to me like most of the Chief's neighbors are black and most of the 'blacklivesmatter' crowd are pasty white kids, and they are calling the black neighbors all kind of foul names.

I do not understand how these kind of black people {the people that have families and homes} don't flock to Trump in droves.

This kind of rioting and insanity might be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Maybe blacks will realize that the real racisssss are the demonRATs and that pubbies will treat them as individuals, not as a group.
