Insane: Seattle Moves to Abolish Entire Police Force [second thread]

Well, it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all because what local lawmakers are doing is nothing short of allowing the city to be engulfed in violence and anarchy. They’re moving to abolish the police. It’s not defunding. It’s a total dissolution. Non-profit programs and “community-led activities” will replace policing. Why? Well, according to the resolution, the Seattle Police Department perpetuates racism and violence. Oh, yes, and it’s a vehicle of white supremacy. It's typical 'woke' nonsense

“Not for the first crime - then they’ll get lynched. “

Because every one of them stands alone against the mob?

They have no family, friends, neighbors or fellow travelers in ordered liberty?

The people will do just fine against these amateur, wanna-be “badasses”.

No contest.

The Vigilance Committee is as American as apple pie.

Seattle at rush hour under the best of circumstances is always on the verge of a road rage riot. Foot traffic at crosswalks downtown around the ferries ignore signals while vehicles are trying to get on boats to get home.

I think the stay home is somewhere between 50 and 70 percent now. We get anywhere near 100% back to work and there will be bloodshed all over downtown. And this is from the ‘normal’ people!

Why what? Under federal supervision? Happened under Obama, Seattle(D) and Portland(D) both invited it.

Everyone calling him/herself a city leader in that place ought to be ashamed.

None of this happened overnight... they saw it coming and didn’t have the spine or the smarts to do their job.

VERY irresponsible.

I met Moe back in the 1960s, and had a brief chat with him. He was a real gentleman. But I’ve got a feeling that those three guys in the picture aren’t gentlemen. And I’ll bet that at least two of them would be happy to kill you if you were an infidel.

“ WA voters need to fix this.”

There is a far greater probability of Bill Clinton having sex with Hillary than Washington voters fixing this. The majority of Washington voters have been committed Stalinists for at least 30 years.

Dodge City at its worst was a tea social compared to today’s filthy liberal rathole cuties.

I love the idea. I hope the criminals go after the Mayor’s neighborhood first.......but I bet she will still have her security.

Maybe Seattle should focus their police on finding the killers-at-large of 4 youth at the short lived and failed socialist/anarchist regime of Chop before they abolish them?

“Well, it may be time to deploy the military to Seattle after all”

For what? Obviously there’s no desire for law and order there.

I say go for it. And then when the people who voted for these leftist idiots suffer horrid crime - oh well.

Any conservatives in the city should move now before property prices crater.

PS Sure the local government officials will demand they get to keep their armed protection details.

Dodge City was noted, in fiction at least, for having a very effective Marshall, Matt Dillon.
