Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Seattle has tipped over.

This may have been discussed already, but if not here you go. Seattle city council has a draft to do away with the Police dept and replace it with a citizens enforce group.

Seattle lawmakers want to abolish the city’s police force and replace it with a “community-led” safety prevention program, according to proposed legislation released Friday.

Arguing that the Seattle Police Department “perpetuates racism and violence” and upholds “white supremacy culture,” the Seattle City Council moved to redirect cash to a non-profit, civilian-led “Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention” — and offered a “blueprint” on how to defund the police, according to the resolution.

Under the bill, cops would be replaced by “community-led activities” and organizations focused on “housing, food security, and other basic needs” along with “culturally-relevant expertise rooted in community connections,” according to documents posted by Christopher Rufo, Director of Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty.

To gain police department funding, groups must show they are “well-versed in de-escalation skills” along with “trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis” and are “committed to hiring staff from the communities they serve,” according to the proposal.

The legislation cites protests over the police “murder” of George Floyd, which forced the Seattle to examine its own history of police brutality.

“These protests forced many nationwide and in Seattle to confront the racism that has been plaguing the black community… And the SPD’s role in perpetuating racism and violence.”

It wasn’t immediately clear when the bill would go to vote—but the majority of city council members said earlier this month that they agree with a plan to defund the city’s police department.

Seattle became an international focal point last month after hundreds of protesters took over the city’s Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, which was stormed and cleared by police in early July.

.Let us know how that works out.

good idea. that way they can see what the average leo deals with on a daily basis.

They have just about 90 days until the election. In that time, Seattle would predictably turn into a third-world anarchist cesspool. Crime gangs would immediately overcome those civilian "safety" groups. And as the city goes up in flames, President Trump will only have to say, "THIS is what happens when you vote Democrat."

Because that will be the truth.

"Citizens' Committee of Vigilance"- - - - - -that has a familiar ring to it. They can also abolish the court system while they're at it. Just find some tall trees and short ropes. Right now, the cops are the only people standing in the way of ordinary citizens dealing with the problem in their own, very effective way!

Should be entertaining.

That won't happen because the civilian safety groups and the gangs will be one in the same.

Legitimization of the brown shirts.

she's-addled has been going to shlt since circa 1991 grunge rock, stupid dead suicide-d rock n roll dope heads, what could go wrong with commie liberal gov, legal dope and dummy doper shlt camps all over the damn place?

So if they actually pass that, it only leaves the state cops, maybe a sheriff, and the feds to enforce the stuff they have a stake in. Oughta be interesting, from a distance.

I'll believe it when I see it.

So...they demanded strict gun laws to prevent the place from turning into "the lawless West with blood in the streets."

And now they're actively turning it into the lawless West.

I hope they start tomorrow.

This will be a great experiment to prove the efficacy of far left Marxist policies.

The battlefield is not far away.

In order to perform the experiment correctly, it's important for all other agencies to be banned from operating within the bounds of Seattle. Can't have those outside variables contaminating the experiment.

Do it!...Double dog dare yeah...

Portland too, defund the Portland Police by 50 million. Do it!

Fûck’n Pussies!

🖕🏾😎🖕🏾

Who cares.

Ahhh, sweet You -Topia.

Yep, needs to happen right now. The sooner the better.

It will be interesting to watch how the exodus from Seattle and Portland progresses. Seattle is already losing population. The real rush to leave will occur when the housing market starts to collapse. It will start to snowball.

I bet a lot of CA transplants are seeing the fruits of their exodus and are growing scared...
