Delita 698 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) The Seattle City Council approved a complex budget package to cut spending for the Seattle Police Department. The vote was 7-1, with Councilmember Kshama Sawant as the only dissenting vote. https://www.king5.com/mobile/article/news/local/protests/seattle-city-council-police-budget-defund-vote/281-52d60913-c6f2-4ae6-b30f-12fc52824f5e Edited August 11, 2020 by Delita Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,026 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Congratulations seattle. I hope death by cops decreases. I also hope murder rates do not increase. We shall see. Apparently its ok to be murdered by non police officers. Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,026 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) How many people have Seattle police killed? The only thing I could find was between 2010 and 2017 they shot 36 people and 17 died and 4 were deemed unjustified. Meanwhile 300+ people were murdered. I suppose thats irrelevant though.

Homicide has never been a huge problem in Seattle. Homelessness is the city’s largest problem by far coupled with drug addiction. Link to post Share on other sites

We have a massive homeless problem too..which has also increased the murder rate. They are stabbing eachother for drugs now that the supply has been tightened with border closures.

They’re stopping police from dealing with the homeless and using that money for social programs. Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I will say, I don't like how the council voted unilaterally and did Carmen Best dirty. She actually was a good police chief. Also, fuck Sawant. I hope she's voted out. Link to post Share on other sites

Quote It's not so much the volume of interactions Black Americans have with the police that troubles them or differentiates them from other racial groups, but rather the quality of those interactions. Most Black Americans want the police to spend at least as much time in their area as they currently do, indicating that they value the need for the service that police provide. However, that exposure comes with more trepidation for Black than White or Hispanic Americans about what they might experience in a police encounter. And those harboring the least confidence that they will be treated well, or who have had negative encounters in the past, are much more likely to want the police presence curtailed. https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-retain-local-presence.aspx?utm_source=tagrss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=syndication Link to post Share on other sites

And im saying dont defund. You dont need to defund the police. Increase taxes and spend more on social work. We can walk and chew gum as they say. And fuck off Gouk. I read the entire article. Im saying I disagree with that aspect. Removing 100 cops isnt going to result in less minorities dying from violence.
