I am just not understanding why they are suing.
They demanded that the police be defunded and they got want they wanted.
The left uses lawsuit settlements and consent agreements to fund their causes with public money where direct funding would be illegal. But, if incorporated in an agreed judgment or consent agreement, they are good to go. So you sue Seattle, the Mayor or the Council approves a settlement and taxpayer money flows.
Now all decent citizens of the ice cream shop should put that company out of business. Let them have their lawsuit be their only source of income. If they get paid off, it will open the door to hundreds of lawsuits. It could financially bankrupt the city. The current management is already morally bankrupt anyway.
It wasn't the outcome they wanted.
You have apparently forgotten that progressives (& other commie trash) are too stoopid to connect actions to consequences. The DNC base includes the 10% with IQ < 85. Even the Army cannot accept such as cannon fodder.
