Maybe you shoulld quit voting for them.
I respectfully disagree with Solan. Seattle’s problem is that a “reasonable majority” on election day showed up at the polls and elected marxists, socialist’s and communists to Lead their city.
The “reasonable majority” got exactly what they voted for, and they will likely continue to vote for the same rubbish. They are like addicts who cannot stop using drugs even though they know the drugs are killing them.
If people do not come out in November and vote GOP/Trump in mass amounts then they deserve what they get. This has been an eye opening time for those that have been blind to the wiles of the democrats...VOTE THEM ALL OUT, every democrat!
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Here is the problem: A lot of people, me included, are still on the fence about defunding the police.
I have yet to hear about the solution for the badge heavy 'roided goons on the SWAT units, with their MRAPS and No-Knock warrants. Hint: The War on Some Drugs is a MASSIVE FAILURE! You LOST!
The mayor's brother-in-law still drives away from a DUI stop. Equal enforcement, although unpopular with the local power structures, buys a lot of support.
What about the "civil forfeiture" highway robbers, that support themselves with pillaging out-of-state travelers?
Speed/stop light camera companies, who tinker with yellow light timing and who split half the loot with the cop shops?
Most of all, the Police took an oath to the Constitution, and some seem to have forgotten it, or slide current political considerations in front of Upholding the Law.
Every other public union strikes, and demands excessive wages. The PD gets the money, but seems to forget about arm-twisting the mayors about the rest.
The policy is intended to create more lawlessness. More lawlessness is a feature not a bug.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.
only temporarily......
Perhaps those in Seattle who deem themselves should do something...I don’t know, maybe MOVE!!!!!!
People from the reasonable majority need to go and kill this council.
That is the only thing that will stop the madness.
Yet somehow it will never occur to ANY Police Union to announce that they will proactively weed out bad officers to prevent them from throwing the entire country into a crisis.
Interesting... Defund and eliminate the police department from your city or state, so that the federal government will be needed to bring in the military in order to restore the rule of law and defend the law abiding citizens.
Or perhaps that money allocated for the police department should go to the federal government as reimbursement of military use for restoring sanity to a lawless city or state. Hmmm...
I wonder if the left has a preference?
