The Seattle City Council passed a resolution informing the federal government they will not allow federalized National Guardsmen or active-duty troops to be deployed to the city as protests and clashes with police continue.
The protest and unrest are in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd while he was in Minneapolis police custody, with the arresting officer kneeling into his neck despite being handcuffed. While protests and riots occurred in almost every major city in the United States, the situations across the county have calmed down with the help of their respective National Guard being called in to help local law enforcement.

Well, Bye.
technically this doesnt apply but it really is
contributory negligence..and thus they should be on their own when city is destroyed
That’s a Canut moment.
Federalized Guard means we pay their salaries if they are called up
Fine, let the state decide and let the state pay
Policing and its budgeting is a local function. Let cities be responsible for it, it’s their job and their mob.
Not just Seattle, everywhere.
they are letting it occur
they are encouraging it to occur
its all on them
Seattle is dead. The just need to bury it.

That’s one thing about these ultra-liberal cities. They pass resolutions as if they were sovereign countries. So I gotta ask: Just how would the worthy Seattle Council stop federalized troops from entering the city? Maybe they would hastily meet, and pass yet another resolution.
I think that all Democrat controlled cities should follow the Seattle model and the Feds should just let the rioters loot and burn down those cities. Then the voters will either move out or perhaps quit reelecting liberal Democrats.
I only wish we didn’t have to waste our hard earned tax money bailing out and rebuilding these Dem cesspool cities——only to have their people kick sand in our faces with ridicule of Trump and Deplorables later.
I lived through the July, 1967 Detroit black riots and then saw the several multibillion dollar moneywasting projects to rebuild, to rejuvenate, the make a New Detroit, and a Renaissance Center . Nothing worked. The people themselves are not trying to improve-—just complaining, hating us and waiting for our tax money yet again.
Just say NO.
The evil ones in OR,WA and NYC do not appreciate it——they hate us and want to destroy the American Way of Life. Don’t encourage them.
Gee, if only Little Rock had tried to say that back in ‘57.
Seattle City Council is one hell of a communist Democrat hell hole and screw them. America will be at war with the communist Democrats and President Trump must install the military if necessary in every State controlled by the Democrats.
Theree days late and severl $$$ short
The damage is done and trops would not be provided any way
The Council is vitrue signaling.
Don’t send in the Military until the cities have burned down.
The kooks have left most of the cities now—and gone home—to Seattle and Portland.
That would make sense but neither will happen. The more miserable they are the more they will vote Democratic.
They should ask the citizens whose property is being destroyed if THEY want the troops helping
Cops already boarded up one precinct and left. Let’s see how that works out.
Will be Camden west.
