A new poll spells absolute disaster for the Seattle City Council pushing to defund the Seattle police by 50%. Only 32% back the reckless council plan. The vast majority of Seattle voters support only a modest cut and favor the Chief of Police to decide what happens.
The poll by EMC Research, a firm normally favored by left-leaning clients, was conducted between July 22 and 27 as the debate to decimate the Seattle Police Department heated up.
No matter the spin, there’s little good news in this poll for anti-police politicians and fringe community activists. Still, the council readies a plan to cut SPD funding. But they do so risking their seats on the council.
50% would not remove police protection, but it would certainly drop it way more then folks would like. And honestly its not the way to look at this. Move police funding in ways that reduce the specific armed police that show up. better mental health, etc. But do so in thoughtful ways, with good data.
CAHOOTS in Eugene Springfield is a good example of this.
Also yeah, maybe drop the force by 20% through attrition, and use the difference in order to train your existing force better. better tactics, better deescalation techniques, better knowledge of the law.
I live in the Seattle metro area... Our liberals are way too funny. First they march and assist in rioting to show that they're hip and cool... And "down with the people." They supported, whole heartedly, the defunding of Law Enforcement. AND the closing of the King County Jail... Since its a racist institution, solely built to oppress Black and Brown people.
Then, all of a sudden, these liberals realize that its the cops who are the ones protecting them and all their stupid ideals. As well as their multi-million dollar homes, in those "elite" neighborhoods. A moment of clarity hit them and their "collective minds," they finally realized that they would be the primary victims in a lawless Seattle!!
Plus, who would they call to report "those" pesky people of color and the homeless that may show up in their "perceived" private neighborhoods and their "perceived" private city parks/trails??
Liberals lack the means and the heart to defend themselves AND solely rely on others to protect them since they know, deep down in their Kool-Aid pumping hearts, their "phoocked" without the cops. All their BLM and rainbow signs on their homes and businesses will not protect them when "sheet" hits the fan.
Another funny thing about liberals is that they're quick to think for and tell others what they need to do and what's good for them since they're so freaking smart and enlightened. But!!! When these elitist snobs realize that the end results of their own BS will affect them as well AND make them the victims too, they are quick to pump those breaks on defunding the police.

Yup, CHAZ was only taken down once the soyboy woke mob showed up at Mayor Durkin's house one night
I'm not surprised. Most liberals are for getting rid of the bad police but not the police as a whole.
Couldn't tell that by the riots in the streets for TWO solid months
