Per Seattle Times.

Summer of love and all.

And by love we mean loitering, littering, raping, murdering, assaulting, battering, trespassing, confiscating, intimidating, trashing, defacing, threatening, and failing at gardening.

Eh, Seattle was already allowing all this before cutting the budget

Good. Let’s use this as a case study in how not to run a civilized society. I have zero empathy for anyone still residing in these shitholes

Did they cut funding for their armed private security?

I will venture a No.

and some here want to blame Trump for Seattle because he hasn't sent in Seal Team 6 to go all Mogadishu on CHOP

there is no saving a city with a city council and a mayor like Seattle's

Now all these people will leave cities like Seattle & Minneapolis to go to smaller metro areas and then proceed to vote for more Socialist type Democrats & ruin those cities.

If the Seattle police chief had any balls at all he would gather all his officers up and walk off the job. I bet they would change their tune real quick. If you let them walk on you with a boot then that is all you will ever get. It's time to stand up to this bullshite.

Does that $20m go back to taxpayers?

Good take them and MN and let them be the test subjects for the rest of the country to see. In less than two years those places will look like a third world country.

So property values go down,
and the cost to insure the property goes up.


That's a brilliant strategy.

in the form of lawsuits for allowing the CHOP. this is a CYA move to help offset the cost of the shite ton of money the citizenry is going to come for

Does anyone remember watching the documentary “Seattle is Dying” made by a local journalist up there? The police were already letting “non-violent” offenders out if they would enter rehab programs. But hey, let’s hamper law enforcement a little more.

As an aside: Why in the hell do libs suggest paying teachers more under the premise of we’ll have better qualified teachers that really care about students and students will be better performing as a result. But then they’ll cut funding to police which by their logic should result in a worse police force that is likely more corrupt and will make criminals lives easier.
