I wonder if anyone could have predicted what would happen if we systematically decriminalized crime and defunded the police at the same time...

bro they all quit bc of the vax mandate cops could care less

This was warned in 2020 by those with authority but not control. The city council choose poorly. No empathy.

@@The_Black_KnightI would argue the voters/city council bare responsibility. The changes to our laws are a reflection of the public pressure by people who mean well but are painfully misinformed.

When the politicians are garbage the city becomes garbage. The officers can be treated better, paid better and be appreciated in other cities.

I moved out of Seattle to find out it’s all of Washington as a whole. Small towns smaller cities. Moved out of state and wow felt like pleasantville. Happier and nicer people and when I talk about crime in Washington they say wow that’s like our small pockets of ghettos. Just blows my mind how people in Wa thinks it’s so great or it will eventually get better. Only get worst. As a German that was hired as an engineer I thought sorry U.S my time is limited here but my new home begs to differ. Oh and before you say go back… U.S hired me due to limited in my profession. I’m what U.S use to be get the best.

Seattle is out of control. My young adult son came home from work the other day and had to wash a stranger’s blood off of his clothing. He was taking the Seattle light rail and a man next to him got punched in the face by another man for accidentally bumping into him. He works 3 part time jobs in Seattle and travels 1.5 hours each way by public transportation to work these jobs. My sons works so hard and now he is not even safe to work there. I can’t even go to bed at night until I know he is home safe.

I haven't been to Seattle for 4 years and I live 20 minutes away.......too dangerous. Someday we will vote in a leader that will understand that you have to put your citizens and businesses first before the homeless and criminals that pay no tax.

Defund the Police, use half the cost for neighborhood watch groups. The poor never call police, so reroute cops to Patrole richer neighborhoods. Or give them a new job to relocate all homeless people into tiny home communities .

For all of you that live in Seattle and all around the state of Washington mostly on the west side I would give you this advice vote and vote differently! The left from what I understand and what I’ve seen for many many many years are not doing good for the people and the children of our state. Time for change vote like your grandchild life depends upon it because it does. Open Borders children being murdered in this Country innocent. Socialism does not belong in the USA or Washington State.
