Democrat Seattle Mayor Jenny Durken is calling for more police after six shootings over the weekend and a loss of 250 officers within the last 17 months has left her city in chaos.Five of the six weekend shootings occurred within blocks of one another and left four people dead and seven injured in their wake.“As a city, we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers,” Mayor Durkan said at a press conference. “Over the past 17 months, the Seattle Police Department has lost 250 police officers which is the equivalent of over 300,000 service hours. We’re on path to losing 300 police officers.”Like other Democrat-run metropolitan cities

Chickens coming home to roost. Too bad the mayor is such an insane, stupid, hateful leftist.
The cops are smart.

She doesn’t even have walking around sense.
How in the WORLD is she (still) a mayor of a major American city?

Even if they can hire cops the pool of candidates will be horrible and the disgruntled cops still there will poison them during their training. A dead city.

First the mayor calls the police every nasty name in the book, then actively works to defund them. She shows them no support, and makes their lives a living Hell.
Now she admits they are needed and wants them to stay. They need to tell her to shove it, and they all need to leave and find jobs in good Republican-led cities where they will be supported and appreciated!!!

And, golly geez, she had absolutely nothing to do with this predictable chaos. And what do you bet the best cops were the ones to quit first, leaving the ones who can't get jobs elsewhere watching the store (until the looters show up)? There's a reason there's such a shortage of ammo.
Good riddance to bad garbage.

Hey, Mayor, yer 'oner...stand up and take it like a woman, or whatever you are. Your community wants the police to back off and become more more human. They ought to get it good and hard, like they demand. Gutless politician.

Portland is down about 400 officers from the year prior. In Portland and Seattle, police are leaving for surrounding cities that show their appreciation for law enforcement. They are getting "signing bonuses" to laterally transfer over and I don't blame them one damn bit!

That little ole mayor has a problem. What she should do is tell her towns people that they should just obey the laws of God and the laws of man, then they would not need no stinkin cops. They could get rid of all the cops. And live happily ever after!

Let me help Jenny. Step 1 - resign. Step 2 - have citizens vote for a non-liberal.

And I am reminded of the Mayor of Amity Island in 'Jaws'. Nothing to worry about...the beaches are open, and as you can see...everyone is having a wonderful time.

Maybe you and your Council critters can put on uniforms and ACT like Police. I'm sure the Criminals will be so scared they won't DARE commit a crime. They will be laughing so hard they couldn't carry a Gucci Bag if their life depended on it...Problem Solved, Right?

Sorry, but I am beyond caring about Seattle. They have taken a beautiful, indeed, an Emerald City, and turned it to a pile of dung. I shall miss the times I had there, but it is less interesting than in the past. Greece sounds kind of nice.

Why work for a mayor who doesn't have their back and also risk prosecution for doing their job?
One has to be incredibly STUPID not to quick or retire immediately.

Replace durken with Dick Jones and deploy ED-209s throughout the city Boddicker can run the streets more competently than any of their politicians can

This ain't rocket science, mayor. Life is far too short to work as a cop in a city that will send you to prison for doing the job they hired you to do.
I have no sympathy for a mayor who ran off the cops, nor for her constituency who hasn't run her off for doing so.
