Despite a rise in crime, some on the City Council are trying to defund the Seattle Police Department again. Too bad it’s getting scant or disingenuous coverage. The council is currently debating Mayor Bruce Harrell’s budget. Anti-police councilmember Teresa Mosqueda, who once defended a man threatening to murder police, is looking to cut funds from the SPD permanently. She just doesn’t want you to realize it’s part of the defund movement.

Comments:

Councilmembers want to tear our city down. They are working on it.

Just close all of your cop shops permanently. Last engine off and start enjoying the savings you can use for guaranteed universal income.

Here’s a minor detail. If people obeyed the laws there would be no need for the police. The only thing I can believe, is that the people who are demanding to defund the police don’t want to be caught breaking laws.

What is wrong with these people? I would really like to see a panel of these true believer's so they can explain themselves and their reasoning. Then, I would like to see them questioned by the victim's of the criminal's that each one released. If they can convince the victim's or their relatives that each attacker really deserved to released, either before trial, or after conviction, the we should shut up and let them remove all police and allow us all to live in peace and harmony.

Sooner than later, the cops on the force will retire and no one will be willing to take their place. Seattle has signed their own death warrant.

We keep saying that in order to eliminate this kind of politician, we need to vote in numbers large enough to to overcome fraud. But how can you do that if elections are now secured by the people whose fraud is more competent than the other side? We have elected several people in the last 2 years whose victories have been stolen from them and by extension, from us. We choose better pols but the system is still rigged to void them. What now?

The goal is to Institute lawlessness. Lawlessness destabilizes a country very quickly. The US has to fall so the globalist can bring about their glorious vision of a one world order where they're the rulers and we are the slaves. They are pretty close to accomplishing their goal. Communist always attack the food supply.

It's been said that in a democracy or even a Republic, you get the kind of govt. you deserve. I never really held that philosophy up till now. Gotta admit that if idiots keep electing crooks and idiots then yes they get what they deserve. The problem is for the poor people, who don't vote for the idiots, I'm in Illinois, but have to suffer for the stupidity of the democrats and RINO's.

The Washington state Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a person’s race, and law enforcement’s long history of discrimination against people of color, should be taken into account when determining the legality of police seizures. The court also clarified state law to say police have seized a person if an objective observer would conclude that the person was not free to leave or refuse a request. But, the court wrote, that “objective observer” must be aware that discrimination and biases “have resulted in disproportionate police contacts, investigative seizures, and uses of force against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.”

Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan is offering two reasons why GOP voters should walk away from President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential primary campaign. “We want to win,” the establishment champion told ABC News’ This Week on November 20. Trump “is going to continue to lose altitude” in primary polls because “he’s unelectable because [of] that suburban voter.” The second reason offered by Ryan is his own alternative 2024 White House platform. That platform breaks from Trump’s mostly-populist policies and offers voters a series of healthcare cuts, more wage-cutting migrants, new carbon taxes, and lower taxes for corporate investors. “I have presidential-sized policy ambition, but I really don’t have presidential-sized personal ambition,” said Ryan,

It’s a survival story that appears to be made for the movies. The Carnival cruise ship Valor reported on Thanksgiving day that a passenger had gone overboard. His sister reported him missing around 8 a.m. but hadn’t seen him since he left a bar to use the restroom around 11 p.m. the previous evening. At that point, the U.S. Coast Guard got involved. The ship turned around and retraced its route hoping to find the unidentified man. Eventually, Valor continued on its way with no sign of the man. The Coast Guard conducted an intensive search, alerting all vessels in the area to the emergency. The Coast Guard resources included
