Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant issued a statement Saturday calling on Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign, describing her as responsible for “violence and brutality” in the city’s response to “overwhelmingly peaceful” protests against institutional racism and police killings of Black people. (snip) “If Mayor Durkan refuses to step aside, it will be the responsibility of the City Council to remove her, by introducing articles of impeachment,” Sawant said.
Sawant also denounced the mayor Saturday for not raising taxes on businesses like Amazon and for removing homeless encampments.

The radical Socialist haters of white people will not be satisfied until they complete their takeover of every major city in the US. White flight will be so swift the winds created will be tornadic. Businesses will be taxed at such a high rate, they will also be forced to leave the cities. Even woke companies will be unable to continue to survive in these cities when the radicals get complete charge.

Hey, the Left meets their left. Just like Islam: it's not the 'Peace of Islam', unless it's their approved POI.
Same with Democrats. There is always someone weirder and nastier, to make you feel like you're being reasonable .

She was born, raised and graduated from university in Mumbai, India. Formerly Calcutta. She is a Socialist Alternative activist. Basically a garden variety far left rabble-rouser.

Ideology of Socialist Alternatives: Marxism, Socialist revolution, Trotskyism...

Correction to #6, Mumbai was formerly Bombay, not Calcutta.

That whacko mayor should resign, regardless! Again, I have no sympathy for the residents of these blue cities. And I’m positive, they would vote these people in again.

The next thing is she will insist Sharia Law be enforced. It should work fine.

Here's the funny thing the Seattle police chief is a Black female, the mayor is a lesbian. One would think they would be a protected class against the anarchists, but sadly, they're not...LOL.
Even if the two women were to prostrate themselves before the Blacks in Seattle and lick everyone's foot, they would still be condemned.
I'm wondering how soon we'll be hearing that we don't need city councils, mayors or governors. Bet that would stop the talk of defunding the cops.

Does "overwhelmingly peaceful" mean it wasn't peaceful? Asking for a friend...

I live in a city with a similar out of control, hate white people goobernment. Only difference is the rest of the state is read with a veto proof Senate and one vote shy of a veto proof house. So the city gooberment has to conform to the state more than other out of control liberal cities.

And yet during the pandemic, these same Democrats governors and their administration expected the police to shut down businesses that wanted to reopen. I am saddened by the double standards.

I looked at her Farcebook page - yikes! People are praising her as if she were some time of religious figure. Her Leftists followers truly see laws and law enforcement as Fascism. They are living in a dystopian world of their own making.

There are too many female and lesbian police chiefs and mayors in this country. Everywhere they go, something akin to Sodom and Gomorrah follows.

#1, I think we can be safe in saying that the majority of the Indians in the Seattle area came to that area thanks to Bill Gates and his refusal to hire Americans, preferring the lower cost H1B's from India. Problem is, most American programmers/IT people will tell you that they do not produce high quality product, and that is why Gates is forced to issue those security patches. This is usually after thousands of people have been exposed to ID theft. I hope Seattle chokes on these idiots, because if they want pain and misery, it is coming.
