Glad I was able to spend a week in Seattle a couple of years ago. It’s a beautiful area of the USA but sounds like I wouldn’t want to visit now. That’s a shame.

There's a reason she abstained. This bitch is running for Mayor and doesn't want her opinion on record.

Seattle gets what it deserves. They voted those assholes into office.

The handful of voters who didn't vote for that shite....should move out asap.

So it is a political move to say they defunded the police but really didn’t do anything at all.



They defunded less than 1 percent of their budget.

Less than 1% defunded and reduced force by 7%. Juuuuuust a tad short of 50%.

LOL you know the communists are pissed. Seattle City Council stepped in it. Commies will eat them alive. And I’ll enjoy.

These cities and states asking for federal funds after they allow this non-sense has everything to do with me.

I want to defund Congress because as a conservative I feel like there is a war against my people.

So can I start a movement called Congressional Ursurping Movement?

How much money do you think you’d end up sending to Seattle via your federal taxes?

Very genuinely asking

Cut the police force and encourage more homeless to come to Seattle. Excellent plan.

So police chief is going to resign. Is it bc her pay was cut or bc of them dismantling her department? IMO she is overpaid and if she thinks she can make nearly 300k somewhere else, good luck....

Having said that, I don’t agree with the dismantling one bit and hope she’s quoting on principal and half the officers quit too
