Just pray that your home doesn't get burglarized. Or worse, that you come home to find squatters, who then refuse to leave.

NEST security cams won't help if Seattle PD and DA won't arrest and prosecute.

Oh they will, just not the vagrants. Home owners who have the “audacity” to not allow their homes to be destroyed will be tarred and feathered

It’s sad, but that is the truth... The King County (failed) justice System will hammer any business owner, home owner or person(s), who should protect themselves or their property WILL be prosecuted, in the name of political correctness to satisfy the rioters.

As for Seattle Police, their senior leadership will need to make some very tough choices within the next few hours. Either to serve a failed mayor and equally useless city council or serve the people they swore to protect... I already know the answer, but I’m hoping I’m wrong on this one.

Sadly, this is true from the Federal level all the way to the local level.

Did you read this? https://komonews.com/news/local/seat...ot-risk-safety
.
from your link:

"....“Simply put, I cannot ask any of you to do this work limited only to your sidearm, baton, and body as tools. These are not tools that are reasonable in modern policing for crowd control.......”

That is chilling. The police officers just ought to stay home since the city council has made it clear they are to do absolutely nothing when confronted by peaceful, violent protesters.

Are police allowed to strike in Seattle given Seattle's progressiveness?
