Seattle City Council moves to abolish Police Department!

[RavinDave]

Best, who served in the department for 28 years, ended her email that she looks forward to “seeing how this department moves forward through the process of re-envisioning public safety. I relish the work that will be done by all of you.”

Translation:

"I'm otta here. Good luck, suckers."

I would have never predicted her resigning.

Not.

The idiots on the Austin city council could get away with this BS virtue signaling and pandering because they knew the non idiot Texans would say Oh Hell No. And that has come to pass.

Seattle pays Convicted Pimp $150,000 to be its 'Street Czar' and come up with 'alternatives to policing' as he boasts he can talk to 'gangsters and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else'

A pimp turned activist who once vowed to 'go to war' with Seattle is being paid $150,000 by the city to work as a 'street czar' and come up with 'alternatives to policing' because he said he can talk to 'gang members, pimps and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else'.

Andrè Taylor, who set up nonprofit Not This Time after his brother Che Taylor was shot dead by Seattle cops in 2016, signed a deal with the city on July 27 to work as its community liaison, according to the contract published by PubliCola last week.

As part of the $12,500 a month deal, Taylor will provide recommendations to the city on de-escalation, community engagement, and alternatives to policing as Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan aims to improve relations between law enforcement and community members in the wake of multiple cop killings of black men and women across America.

Taylor, who was convicted of being a pimp back in 2000, has a mixed past with City Hall, promising to wage 'war' after his brother's death before emerging as an ally and vocal critic of the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone this year.

22 year-old Visiting Seattle Brutally Beaten by stranger, video shows

A 22-year-old freelance photographer was brutally attacked and beaten by a stranger while on vacation to Seattle.

The attack was caught on graphic surveillance video, and shows Caliber approached by a man in an orange shirt and black pants. The two seem to shake hands when the suspect doesn’t let go and throws Caliber to the ground.

The suspect repeatedly kicks and stomps on Caliber’s head repeatedly before knocking him unconscious. The suspect then goes through Caliber’s pockets, taking his money and personal belongings before walking away, leaving Caliber immobile on the sidewalk.

Caliber — who is just about to turn 23 next month — has started a GoFundMe page to help cover his medical expenses and his stolen belongings, which include his iPhone 12, atl east $900 cash and a friends car keys that cost $700 to replace, as well as his wallet with his personal ID and debit cards, he said.

While recovering in the hospital, where he said he’s taken multiple MRI tests, he said he’s still “spitting up blood” and getting “severe headaches” as a result of the attack.

Couple With Two-Week-Old In Their Car are Attacked by Mob Armed With a Machete, Sticks and Rocks at a Seattle homeless camp before they 'run over and kill one of the assailants while trying to escape'

A Seattle couple - with a two-week-old baby in their car - was attacked by a mob of homeless people before running over and killing one of the men as they tried to escape, according to published reports and a recently released shocking video.

The wild July 29 altercation shows the couple arrive at one of the homeless encampments that dot the city to retrieve items that were stolen from them, according to KIRO-7 News, which aired the video Aug. 13.

The couple got out of the four-door sedan and the female passenger proceeded to get into a bare-knuckles brawl with another woman - but not before first opening the back door to apparently check on the baby sitting there, the video showed.

The male driver of the car was slammed in the back with a large piece of wood wielded by a homeless man as the women slugged it out.

Seattle boy, 13, Watches Dad Die of a Heart Attack while waiting 20 MINUTES for help to arrive after firefighters refused to enter apartment without police in city short of cops because of woke mayor's vaccine mandate and defund police movement

• An unidentified Seattle boy called 911 twice after his father began having trouble breathing earlier this month
• Firefighters were first to arrive, but were reluctant to enter without a police escort because a note on file indicated the occupant was combative
• They later learned the file was outdated and the unit was lived in by new tenants
• Firefighters ultimately entered the apartment without an escort. Police and medics arrived more than 20 minutes after the initial call for help
• The Seattle Police Department is facing staff shortages not seen since the 1980s
• A medic said the patient likely could have been saved it treated sooner

A 13-year-old Seattle boy watched his father who was suffering from cardiac arrest die while waiting more than 20 minutes for help to arrive - in a tragedy that critics say was caused by a shortage of cops and medical personnel staff resulting from the woke mayor's vaccine mandates and defund the police movement.

Firefighters rely on ‘premise notes’ inputted into the dispatch system to alert them of any potential dangers or provide building access information, spokesperson Kristin Tinsley told DailyMail.com.

The unit firefighters responded to November 2 was flagged for being occupied by an aggressive man and a note advised firefighters to request police before entering.

Terrifying moment Seattle homeless man cracks female Amazon engineer's skull with a baseball bat as she walks home in random attack: Suspect, 31, finally in jail after 16-year crime spree that includes arrests for robbery, burglary and assault

• Wantez Tulloss, 31, was charged on Friday with first-degree assault after he was caught on surveillance footage attacking Emma (Shengnan) Wang
• He has been arrested 26 times since 2008, including for first-degree robbery, theft, assault and three violations of no-contact domestic violence

A homeless man with a 16-year violent criminal history has been charged with first-degree assault after he was caught on surveillance footage taking a 'full body swing' with a baseball bat and hitting a woman in the back of the head, leaving her bleeding with a fractured skull.

Wantez Tulloss, 31, has been arrested 11 times going back to 2012 and was wanted by police in Washington for third degree theft.

On Monday January 31, he was filmed taking a swing at Emma Shengnan Wang, who was named by prosecutors in court documents. He knocked Wang to the ground, hitting her on her skull and back, then fled, taking his bags with him.

She lay helpless on the ground with blood pouring from her ear while bystanders rushed to help her. Wang is an engineer at Amazon Web Services who lives in Seattle. She is now recovering and will need to undergo surgery.

Tulloss, whose criminal rap sheet begins in 2006, is shown in 2020 after being booked for domestic assault. His forehead and neck are covered in Gucci logo tattoos and he has a LOuis Vuitton logo on his cheek

Do they think putting animals like this in apartments that look better than what many in Seattle can afford is going to suddenly make them "reformed" and anything more than an absolute nuisance to society?

Do they think putting animals like this in apartments that look better than what many in Seattle can afford is going to suddenly make them "reformed" and anything more than an absolute nuisance to society?

The majority of the punishments given out by the system do not equate to justice for crimes like this imo. That guy with the bat deserves everything bad that comes his way.

Chances are in Seattle that she is a leftist given probability of the voting base. It'll be interesting how this shapes her thinking going forward if she is able to still think.

Seattle drops its bike helmet rule after finding it unfairly targeted people of color and homeless people: Study found black cyclists were four times as likely to be stopped as whites

Seattle officials have overturned a decades-old mandatory law for bicycle riders to wear helmets after a study showed there was discriminatory enforcement of the rule against people of color and homeless people and found that black cyclists were four times as likely to be stopped as white cyclists.

The King County Board of Health, made up of elected officials and medical experts from cities across the county, voiced its support on Thursday for the voluntary use of helmets, passing a resolution encouraging riders to don the protective gear, the Seattle Times reported.

Seattle is the largest city in the country to enforce a bike helmet requirement, the New York Times reported, and is in King County which has made racial justice reform a priority and declared racism a public health crisis in 2020.

So you believe we should have police departments enforcing bike helmet laws? Hope you're not part of the group that brags about drinking from the hose, going home with the streetlights, etc
