"Simply put, the legislation gives officers NO ability to safely intercede to preserve property in the midst of a large, violent crowd," reads a letter from Seattle Chief of Police, Carmen Best - who added that thanks to the City Council, "Seattle Police will have an adjusted deployment in response to any demonstrations this weekend."

Once they have everything the camps won’t be far off.

Revelation says where this is heading.

They think they’ll win. They are wrong.

Being against corruption isn't being for antifa.

They will not wake up. I’m surrounded by people who continue to justify the violence as the work of a few strays. They truly believe what is going on is righteous and worth the ruined livelivoods and property (of others).

What about the ones that voted the other way?

F them too?


They have some tough choices to make - whether to stay and try to defend their property from rioters by themselves, or leave for more sane locales. Duly elected governments have a right to decide how their police departments will respond to crime, and Seattle's city government has done so, deciding that lawlessness by left-wing rioters is to be tolerated.

In this case you don’t seem to understand, the police are not corrupt here - its the city officials that are the corrupt ones - the cops are just trying to protect people and do their job with the officials taking away their riot gear (which the courts may have restored). Railing against to cops is antifa’s tactic.

The Sheriff was elected by voters of King County. The Seattle City Council and Mayor have no authority over the Sheriff.

People who die in the commission of a potentially violent crime have got all the process they were due.>>>>>>>>>>>

That’s going to be very educational to the anarchists and commie trash who want to overthrow the constitution, the media included, as they report on these crimes under the falsehood that murder, riot, arson and rape is protest.

I’m over in Kitsap county. Like your area, around here very few give a hoot about Seattle. Inslee has so many pissed off he’s probably gone in Nov, but they’ll recount their way to a win just like they did with Rossi.

Either way though we’re close enough that Seattle’s insanity will likely impact us, so we’re seriously considering a move.

So you are saying it is NOT on the ballot, and the news article is false?

Watch how quickly the Seattle police and mayor have honest people arrested and jailed for defending themselves.

If you aren't enforcing the law, I can shoot a commie or more and I will be OK? That's what "You're on your own" means.

I don’t care what an article says.

I was responding to your statement that a city council could dictate what a County Sheriff can and cannot do to carry out his responsibilities.

The second a police force follows an illegal order from their mayor or city council (such as standing down or sending out a message that people are on their own since they were ordered not to use their tools), they have become corrupted and are as at fault as the one who gave the illegal order.
