Abolish the Police? Those Who Survived the Chaos in Seattle Aren’t So Sure

Any suggestions to make Police Departments better? Slashing budgets without thinking of the 2nd and 3rd order of affects is what BLM and others want.
It's amazing how their Anti-fascist who are actually hypocritical closet fascists and the Black Lives Matter mafia bullies harassed people in the Capitol Hill Occupation Zone.

I am not sure this will make the main stream media. Taking money away from the police and having mafia-like groups of people running around with weapons will never replace the police. Local businesses were hit up for protection money. It was NOT the summer of love by the braindead leftist Mayor of Seattle.
She did not take back the block until the Mob came to her house. The Mob came to the house of the Police Chief 25 miles from Seattle on the 2nd of August.

This story shows a picture of a black lives matter security guard who hit businesses up for protection money.
I was in Washington State for 25 days I did follow the news from local CBS, ABC and Fox News affiliates describing protests and rioting in both cities which some democrats said was a right wing myth. 39 cops in Seattle were hurt and 3 Federal agents were blinded by lasers by 'mostly peaceful' idiots. The Media uses the Orwellian Double Speak of the book and movie 1984.

I have a soldier in my section who works for Seattle PD. Seattle PD wants to cut 400 Officer Positions. If this happens:
1. The Officers with less seniority will be let go. The older officers cohort is not very diverse. The Officers who will suffer will be mostly minorities.
2. The BLM and ANTIFA goons are upset at the City of Seattle because they want to get rid of 200 Officers total and the MOB will not accept that. They want 400 Officers gone. 100 Officers already left or retired. The total Officer force is 800 total officers. Special Units are being cannibalized to fill the ranks. Many Officers are quitting by going to other departments in surrounding counties.
3. The city wants to cap overtime at $150K but that means that there will not be enough Officers to cover sporting future sporting events. The unintended science of stupid consequence of the radical left is that they will have to hire private security and that will cost more than the existing officers.
4. Giving int o the left has been a big failure.
5. Giving in to Anarchists and Communists takes focus away from the death of George Floyd and others.

Crickets from the Democrats. I do believe the radical left of BLM and the Antifa pussies joining forces with the Democrats is just a marriage of convenience.
