Seattle, Washington, a city already ravaged by the “Defund the Police” movement, could lose at least 200 more officers over the city’s Chinese coronavirus vaccine mandate.
The officers face termination “because they’ve either not received the jab or would refuse to hand over their private medical data,” according to a report cited by Fox News on Tuesday.
“The Jason Rantz Show on the city’s KTTH said the number represents about 20 percent of the department’s deployable staff. The department and Mayor Jenny A. Durkan’s office did not immediately respond to after-hour emails from Fox News,” the report states.
According to the KTTH report, the Seattle Police Department [SPD] has already lost approximately 300 officers since last year’s push to defund the police — SPD is now staffed at “record lows not seen since the 1980s.”
“Many times, there are only about 70 officers patrolling the city on any given night. This has helped lead to a surge in violent crime with the city on pace to break the 26-year-high homicide rate set in 2020. With just over 1,000 deployable officers, the city is about 300-500 officers shy of where they hope to be,” it continued.

Gov. DeSantis proposes $5,000 bonuses for police that relocate to Florida
Are you a police officer looking to move to the sunshine state?

I can’t believe they didn’t already quit after being tossed under the bus by city government during the soros riots last summer.
I’m liking DeSantis more every day.
They want the cops to leave, one way or another.
Why quit? You can #StayFetal, draw cadillac health bennies and then qualify for a decent pension.
Note to LE: My sympathy for you lot vanished when so many of your fellow officers allowed themselves to be used as goon squads by Deep State. Now you know how the rest of us feel.
Seattle? Police? Well that’s exactly what they want, no?
they still have 200 on the force?
Thread winner right there.
Damn right.
Don’t miss this short video.
One Australian offers his analysis on life there now:
“What’s going on in Australia? Covid is Communism, a system of total govt control.”
Truly outstanding 3 minute video.
Nobody ever said it better. I wish there was a written transcript. Please share to the max.

Seattle Stockholm Syndrome?
LEO decides to die on their KNEES to communists,
rather than live a long life on their feet.
Pray for these cops.
500 offers short in Seattle? Why, it should be super easy to hire 500 cops in a city where the ruling elites hate cops and will destroy them for political gain at the drop of a hat.
Thanks Matt very good video

Many cops figured they did not need to physically quit—mentally would be good enough...
That is the Ferguson Effect. Every academic “expert” in the world claims it is does not exist, and every police precinct in urban areas has seen it in action.
The classic case is one police precinct I know in DC in a bad area. They can hear gunshots while sitting in the station almost any summer night.
When they hear gunshots they rush into action—go to the break-room and sit down and have some coffee and doughnuts!
After their leisurely break they will send out the cops with the least seniority in the general direction where the gunshots came from—hoping the perps are long gone...
If the newbie cops end up in a shoot-out and survive the encounter, they quit the next day.
Four New York City police officers are under investigation for ignoring a man who shot himself in the leg while drinking and gambling in sidewalk game at night.
Two foot patrol officers about 15 feet away and two officers in a vehicle ignored the scattering crowd and handgun dropped on the sidewalk (they legitimately may not have seen that and who leaves a firearm behind?), writing it up as a "fireworks incident".
It was all on what looks like a store security video.

COVID vaccine or test mandate takes effect in Pa. health care & high-risk congregate facilities
To union members everywhere: Note that testing is NOT an option for new members, though they are presumably represented by the same bleeping unions...
Their union must be terrible.
