A Democrat Seattle council member’s recent resolution may end commitments to defund the police, a movement that was fueled by leftist protests.
Councilmember Rob Saka recently introduced Resolution 32167 that includes measures to appreciate first responders, police accountability, a diversified public safety response, and consent decree progress, Fox News reported on Saturday.
In addition, Saka on Tuesday told the Seattle City Council’s public safety committee, “This resolution reverses any prior commitment or pledge by past councils to defund or abolish the police. We know that these statements were routinely cited by departing police personnel as a reason for leaving. We also know that they are very divisive.”

One might think that except this guy is a leftist too. I’m not sure what might happen to him, but one thing is certain, it won’t be like what would happen if you or I made this proposal.

If they want to defund somebody, they should defund their fascist Aunt Teefah SS Storm Troopers in their Ghillie suits.
It isn’t defending, but tiny villages and towns that have their own PD’s, with low crime, and mostly exist to fill coffers, should dissolve them and merge with county sheriff’s departments for coverage. Mostly unnecessary to have these around.
? I read it as Divisive not diverse
Consent decrees, they were forced onto city police with the reasoning being, city police were not diverse enough, too many minorities being busted. By signing the consent decree, they ceded control to the Federal Government. They gave their power away, for cultural diversity.
