The mayor of Seattle is facing major backlash after offering big hiring bonuses to incoming police officers to make up for staff shortages. Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan issued an executive order Friday, granting bonuses for new hires up to $25,000 depending on their experience and skill levels.

However, the police union fired back at Durkan for the move while suggesting the city betrayed its loyal police officers after violent protests over the death of George Floyd. The union added, the staff shortage was caused by the ‘defund the police’ movement and worsened by the city’s vaccine mandate.

Take the money and police so slowly that ya just fill out reports.

When the entire department collapses, go to Florida and get a $50,000 bonus to do real police work.

The rest of the department should resign, along with all the firefighters.

Defund, or Refund, Police?

There was an article from a FL newspaper a year ago that reported that more than 95% of their yearly quotas were filled for LEO’s in FL, and a big number came from Seattle and Portland.

defund the police but then give bonus to replace......

Move to hyper expensive Seattle, opposed from enforcing the law, open season on police.
I’m sure lots of police will sign up for this nightmare.

The Seattle Silly Council is voting on it today. I expect them to turn it down.

Why pay cops when Antifa and the Communists in Black Lives Matter^TM will run the city the way the Democrats want?

[\/\/ayne]

It’s hard to believe any police officer would want to work for Democrats.

[SkyDancer]

Who’ll then be let go under the de-fund the police City Council.

"Re-staffing the Seattle PD with Antifa and BLM types and giving bonuses to boot."

I had the same thought. Extra bonus if you are MS-13.

Police and military mandates ensure your people are obedient and complient first and foremost. Any independent thinkers will be gone.
