We should go after these idiots and get their backpacks. We should do to them what they intended to do to us. Lazers? Use it on them

Why bother. No bail and released immediately. They get back out before the paperwork is done. The city is destroyed anyway just let it burn. These citizens vote thes dem fools in and will probably vote them in again in the fall. Don't come cryin to me when bad stuff happens. Cops let them destroy it-why get hurt for these total fools

Now is the time for Trump and republicans to campaign on the left coast. Going on 3 months of protests, riots, looting and violence has a tendency of torning wishy washy voters to the right.
When your in fear for your life, your family and your home, you will vote for they guy that promises to restore order. Not the guy who promises more of the same.

If crime goes up, get rid of the police. Makes all the sense in the world......if you're a democrat. Further, if the country is attacked by a foreign power, get rid of the armed forces. And the left media is on board!

According to Seattle Police, for the first seven months of the year, there were 238 crimes reported against people and property. It’s an increase from the same time in 2019 which had 163 reported crimes
Yeah, but those additional 75 crimes were probably white privileged racists who should expect and welcome crimes and not expect police to help them.
“I think the police have the most difficult job in the country,” a third resident said. “I think they should be respected and commended for what they do.”
Probably a whitey speaking from their whiteness who wants more white cops to murder innocent unarmed black people like they always do.

Sad to say, it's going to take something like a mass school shooting to wake these dimwits up. Jenny's city is a lunatic farm. Coddling the criminals and abusing honest citizens is not a formula for any sort of good outcome.
If a city orders the police to act like those cowardly deputies at David Hogg's school and stand around doing nothing, they might as well defund them and have none.

I was just watching an interview, of a brother to a serial killer. The interviewer, like most, was asking why people kill. The brother make a connection that shook me. He said, about serial killers, that they take pleasure in killing people AND, they like to destroy things that are beautiful. That is the definition of evil; destroy what is beautiful, wholesome and sacred. It's also common between serial killers and what is going on in many of our cities. When watching places like Seattle be destroyed, and the reaction of those in charge, making is possible to destroy more, I see people who are evil, people in the street destroying life and property, and people in power, protecting them. All taking pleasure in what is happening. There is no justification for rendering evil with evil, not on a personal level, but our government has the responsibility to protect life and property for evil people and they are failing for a reason. They are evil! They enjoy the destruction of what God has created and that which is good and beautiful. If allowed to continue, they will eventually destroy this nation.

This is now beyond deaths of black thugs by police or George Floyd. That's over these are rioters living in streets destroying property and harming innocent people. It's out of control and dissolving the police force is an invitation for more.
There will be no appeasement the rioters will come to the yet to be destroyed portion of the city and what will the supporters of the rioters do then? Mayor Jenny is not immune unless she has protection that will use deadly force to stop it.
Frankly I don't care about Portland, Seattle or Chicago because when I hear the mayors of those cities speak I understand where all the stupidity comes from.

This is reminiscent of where I grew up but on a much larger scale, and different factors. There are only two elements of society that will find this attractive. The first is the criminal element where they will now have a place to do their 'business' without any consequence. The other group are the deadend unintelligent uneducated poor who will not be able to afford to live any place else. The rich, upper class, and middle class will leave. Business will leave because there won't be any qualified workers, and nobody will want to move there. With everybody leaving, rent will be dirt cheap because, again, nobody wants to live there.
Seattle will become a gigantic slum with only a fraction of the population it once had. The Mayor and City Council are OK with that since they are part of the criminal class. They are just a different class of crook compared to the thugs are are mugging, murdering, robbing, burning, and looting.
There are many other cities following the same route. Saw an article today about how New York City and San Francisco are in decline that won't turn around any time soon. Portland and Minneapolis are in the same boat. No doubt there are other cities as well.

We are about to see the clash of "narrative" with truth. The Left thinks there is no objective truth and that if everyone believes a story, then that story becomes true. In essence they believe a lie about "the big lie". One current Marxist narrative is that police cause violence and are unnecessary. We will now see how that narrative plays out in the face of external, objective reality. I'm glad I don't live in Seattle.

U-Haul revenues up 500%. Seriously, moving companies are busier than they have been in many years. People in New York City are having a more difficult time finding an available moving company, and paying higher rates to entice the companies into the city! I've no doubt that 'Frisco, Seattle, and Portland will suffer the same inconvenience.

When local or State authorities cannot or will not stop lawlessness that affects multitudes of innocent civilians and businesses, it is well past time that martial law be instituted and the U.S. military sent in to restore peace; futhermore, they should be under shoot to kill orders, where necessary.

The only innocent people killed by cops are those who want to fight with the cops.
You're going to loose.
Moral of the story:
to avoid being killed,
do what the cops say,
be respectful,
else: bang, bang. adios stupid.

It's already mushrooming. Word this morning (no doubt reported elsewhere on Lucianne.com) is that Police Chief Carmen Best is resigning over these cuts, and over the failure of the City Council to even verbally condemn the assault on her residence last weekend.

Wouldn't it be great if every cop in Seattle resigned and relocated to a "friendly" state (Tennessee, Texas, etc.) and left Seattleites to their wonderful, I say wonderful, cop-free existence. Whoaaaa, I bet the city council would rethink this decision in a heartbeat--especially when their own houses become targets. Unfortunately, by then no one would want to live there.

Unfortunately for whatever clear thinking individuals still reside in Seattle, this mess must continue to go forward and reach its natural conclusion. We here on this site understand what that conclusion will be, but for some, the people who wish to defund the police, they must experience what that which they are sowing will actually reap.
The people in Seattle who voted for these Democrat thugs to represent them will have to learn the hard way. Let the city burn, let the lesson be taught.
Meanwhile, what is happening in these riot infested Democrat cities is a revealing tale to every normal, level-headed American. Vote for these people in November, and this is what you can expect. Complete anarchy.
They are destroying their own party and I have no doubt that because of this, their enlightening behavior will allow for a landslide victory for Trump and the GOP come November.
Did you see that poll which was released recently, the one that had 62% of those polled admit that they were too scared to voice their political opinion or who they were going to vote for? Do you think that they were afraid to say that they were going to vote for Biden or ANY Democrat? No. They are going to vote for Trump, even many Democrats will because of these violent "Antifa" thugs. And we don't have to lift a finger, they're destroying themselves with no help for us!
That's why Trump isn't doing much to help these cities, he knows that it must reach its natural conclusion for people to understand why the Democrat party is so incredibly dangerous to our country and way of life.

"Defund the Police"......actually they cut 7% of the officers on the force. Seems like a stupid, ill considered move, but more of a small trim, at least so far.
They talk about it, but so far, have done little beyond handcuffing the police and talking them down.

How can any taxpaying citizen living in Seattle put up with this? Have they totally lost their minds? It's the Tower of Babel and Hell all rolled into one!
Who would move to Seattle now or any time in the near future? Who would buy their house now should they want to flee?
I wouldn't move to Seattle (or Portland) if you gave me a house for free. Seriously. It's now the moral equivalent of going to Caracas, Havana or Beirut.

They will vote against Trump and the Republicans whether they get bailouts or not. These people are deranged fools. Brainwashed lunatics. They have the minds of mice and rats. Let their city become a large dump. Anyone who moves from there must quarantine for two years before voting again.

I keep hoping the next straw will break the camel's back, and my son and his wife will finally get out of there and move somewhere sane.
He said there is absolutely no control over the homeless as they defunded the people who would move them along, so they can pitch a tent anywhere. There is nowhere in the city to get away from any of this madness.
His company, which he loves working for, has said they will be working remotely for another seven months. There's absolutely no need to live in Seattle. I feel bad for them because they fell in love with it years ago and don't want to give up on it, I guess.
Pretty soon, they'll actually be able to afford a house there.

Arm yourselves while you can America as Marxists don't care about innocent people that get harmed in their quest for power. The citizens of Seattle have proven themselves to be ignorant fools by electing a bunch of reprobate leftists radicals as their city council. Time to start fighting to take our cities back from these so-called Democrat politicians!
