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...

I was typing while you were... funny we both see the exodus from CA now moving to Seattle...

KOOL!

Hey, Sukawhore, la Roy, Gayghost, djs, Calldumb, happy day. No longer will your bleck or white or brown dimocrap scum buds have to live in fear for robbing, raping and killing.

Civilization will not persecute your friends. There will be no civilization.

Cheap ocean front/water front property? Comes with a great HOA!

I like the way you think.

I've been reading about Washington. The good news is, the people leaving Seattle aren't going very far. Many are moving to Tacoma and Spokane. For whatever crazy reason, quite a few are moving to southern California.

People are leaving NYC, also. From what I've read, most are staying in New England but quite a few end up in Florida.

Yankees go home!

Win

Let them have it. Its a sewer anyway

Read that statement carefully.... reading between the lines it is apparent they want to extend the age old Democrat tools of enslaving the population by making them solely reliant on government handouts, food, housing, everything right down to wiping their asses- and hoping that the populace will be so grateful they will just stop doing bad things and all sing Kumbaya at sundown every night.

What a bunch of New Age imaginary cultist bullshite..... I hope this experiment sinks as immediately as its merits deem it to- which is PDQ- and we can get back to assigning the blame to where it really belongs- leaders who are so weak they can't stand the thought of disciplining people who have demonstrated a definite need of separation from a civilized population....

Seattle was a cesspool of drugs when I was there in 1986. People smokin' dope, snortin' coke everywhere you looked. Even old gramps and grannies doin it all over the place. Go to a party, there's granny over in the corner snortin' a line.

I want to know who let the psychos out of the asylum and then voted for them? Can this get any more bat chit crazy?

Ho Lee Damn!

With any luck derelicts from all over the country will move there. Hasbeen

Guess you had better learn how to speak new yawkian...🤣

My parents moved to Florida over twenty years ago. One day when I was down for a visit my mom was b!tching about the "foreigners". I asked her what foreigners was she speaking of. She said the people from new york. I asked "mom were you born in Florida"? She smacked me.

That started a long time ago.

May it accelerate...

Wasn't that already tried by the feds with section 8 and EBT cards, and allowing them to have umpteen groups identifying themselves as Black [fill in the blank], so they could have a "platform" to accuse / show every citizen / group they are racists....

I know, they will demonstrate for everyone how they can do it right this time, after learning from the mistakes S. Africa made when they murdered ran the white farmers out.....

That plan sounds foolproof....not !!!

Was thinking, if I was a criminal or drug dealer, this would be a great spot to move to and set up shop.

I won’t even stop for coffee or take a schidt in Seattle or King County. Happy Trails

Aughta speed it up. Let the party start. Campaign ads write themselves and the sooner the better.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

We'll just have to see how that works out for them. It's always is a good idea to let the patients run the asylum.

One of the most beautiful cities in the US swirling down the toilet. So Sad. Back in the late 70's I was seeing this gal that lived in Seattle and her apartment was on about the 6th floor up on the hill. We would sit out on her balcony in the mornings drinking coffee and just look at the views. Makes me sick what it has turned into.

As soon as there are no police, it'll be a free fire zone. I might have to go over for that....

yep. I moved out of there 11 years ago. Progressives destroy another beautiful city

Mmmm. Utopia.

90 days.
Long enough for gates to run out of chopper fuel...
X
Oh and food. Who the heck is going to drive food into the city if they know they are going to get hijacked..
And since there are no police, there are no police reports, and thus no insurance payouts.
So all theft, vandalism, accidents, deaths will not be compensated due to the effective "breakdown of lawful society" clause....
Way to save the insurance companies.

Since there are no professional sports left at least we have the East and West chitshow (Seattle&CT) to watch..

Should be interesting to stand back and watch.

It's a real shame, I have been there twice and really enjoyed our visits. Last time was last fall, took my older daughter on a senior trip to see her Seahawks play my Saints, we had a great time, I guess we got in and out of there just in the nick of time.

Problem with that is they will relocate, while learning nothing, then bring their completely brainless ideologies to the some poor unsuspecting conservative community, which will, in the course of a decade or two, fail miserably.

Liberal transplants are like a metastasizing cancer. They should be forced to live in the cesspools that they create with their idiotic ideologies.

If I had my way, they would be rounded up and shipped to the Socialist country of their choice, and good riddance.

I can imagine BS Gates riding in on a white horse as savior of all anti police citizens, promising each and all free everything ...
and the populace left standing there will wonder what happened in a year's time. They however, will still vote (life terms under the new order) while the communistic socialists laugh and prey upon their minions, pressing down their knees on the minion's necks a little bit more each passing day...

Does that mean the police forensic and crime labs go as well? Can’t wait to see twit twats and manbunners solve crimes. So stupid are they in Utopia.

Seems like the trucking industry could declare the area a no go zone..... not sure how power and water could be shut down... but that would be a thought as well.

It's started.

Meanwhile, the net outflow of homeowners from Seattle has soared from 363 in the second quarter of last year to 6,007 in the second quarter of this year - a jump of more than 1,500%.

Absolutely. Get it done and soon.

And that's the scary part for every other western state.

I say go ahead and do it. It will be fun to watch in front of the whole country.

However, big media will sell it as a great success despite the outcome. Don’t doubt me.

Chop/Chaz was a great preview.

This is why the hell I bugged out of N Idaho. They're bringing it there in droves.

It does make for a target rich environment in Seattle, what with no police to enforce anything.

ROAD TRIP!!

That’s a hell of a departure rate.

Wonder who is buying those homes?

Depends if the statistics are based on listings or closures.

C’mon guys, let’s be positive about this. Maybe it will work. I say give it a try and find out.




P

From a distance I’d proffer that the trend is the important piece of the equation.

Maybe next quarter’s stats will shed more light .

Either way, it’ll be interesting.

I'd love to see the BLM protesters go into full riot mode in places like Seattle and Portland and then have the police refuse to intervene, since they haven't had sufficient training in deescalation yet. Burn down MicroSoft and all of the other companies that support BLM.

The truth is that most homicides are inter-racial and around 90% of AAs are murdered by other AAs and many of those acts are gang and/or drug related.

Despite what Beonce says, Black is not King.

They should just have BLM or ANTIFA take charge so the world can see how loving and intelligent the idiots are.

Seattle and for that matter a lot of the rest of the urban and suburban USA may be fixing to find out just how bad (evil) humans can be. I am so glad I live in a lightly populated area with room to maneuver, access to water and food, stockpiled firewood, medical supplies, and ability to defend it if just a few redneck neighbors will at least loosely organize. I shudder to think what might come down if only half of the normal freight gets into a city, and water and sewage service is impaired. The city utilities workers will abandon ship along with the former police. Fire fighters may bail out. This may be one of those things "that sounded like a good idea at the time".

Some group will emerge and take charge. They will be vicious. That is required to put down a rebellion. I wonder which country will decide the USA is easy prey and try to move in and restore order. You can bet the central bank doesn't want their collateral destroyed.

Intraracial, perhaps?

Housing market out here is insane. Homes sold in a couple days at 10%+ the asking price. North and east sides are the same.

It’s “white flight”. Only now the people fleeing are white, brown, black....and most of the folks they are fleeing from are white. Lol.

Human nature will show itself despite their best efforts to pretend it doesn’t exit.

It just sets the stage for a full fledged gun ban push down the road.

They are all adults. It is time to experience some consequences for their decisions. I don't see a major downside from here. I'm sure there are lots if I lived there.

Wonder how Seattle’s fire department feels about this! We would make fire stage a safe distance away before letting them come to a violent scene! Unless Seattle has now banned all fires!!🤣

No kidding. Let the Portland cops go get real jobs somewhere else where people appreciate them.

I see a lot of downtown Portland business owners still big pussies to criticize the criminals.

Fûck Portland.

If they do this, the idiots that elected these idiots will leave and spread their liberalism elsewhere.

They've already done it. Just ask anyone native to a state with a formerly small population and conservative values that has suffered the onslaught of Kalipornikators. They think they're real conservative because they don't like high taxes. Everything else they ran from is OK though.

auto correct got me again.

I agree except I believe the crime gangs will be the "civilian safety groups".

It appears this experiment is in progress as we speak.

Seattle continues to be a joke. Shouldn't be news to anyone

Unfortunately, Spokane is already turned blue and the idiots keep coming. Our city fathers are actively campaigning to get Seattle businesses and their people to move here. We are quickly losing the state and our city to the liberal idiots. Referring to the post above about who needs to go, please do not forget Inslee's right hand idiot Ferguson, who just absolutely loves to waste money by suing Trump and losing. Results are out from the primaries, and it appears that Inslee and Ferguson are in prime position to stay in power in Olympia. I would hope for the big one to hit and have the left coast slide into the sea,, but I do have friends in Aberdeen, which is still pretty conservative.
