The Seattle City Council introduced a new bill this week that would defund the police department and replace certain responsibilities with a “Civilian-led Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.”
“The resolution does not specifically say whether the Police Department will be abolished if it passes, but that is certainly its aim. It accused the Seattle Police Department of perpetuating systemic ‘racism and violence’ and of participating in a ‘culture’ of ‘white supremacy.’ The message is clear: The SPD has no place in Seattle — at least, not if the authors of the resolution have their way,” reports the Washington Examiner.
Seattle has, apparently, learned nothing from the CHAZ, introducing a resolution to defund their police & replace them with a "civilian-led Department of Community Safety."

SEATTLE SPIRALS: Mayor Calls ‘Autonomous Zone’ Anarchists ‘Patriots’ Who ‘Want a Better World’
Local officials in Seattle refused to crackdown on protesters occupying the ‘Capital Hill Autonomous Zone’ Friday; referring to the demonstrators as “patriots.”
“It’s simply not true. Lawfully gathering and expressing first amendment rights, demanding we do better as a society, and providing true equity for communities of color is not terrorism. It’s patriotism,” said Mayor Jenny Durkan, referring to President Trump’s labeling of the protesters as “domestic terrorists.”
Durkan has previously posted that the protest is “a peaceful expression of our community’s collective grief and their desire to build a better world.”
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said she and SPD Chief Carmen Best will not resign. "The answer is no and no. We thought about a Thelma and Louise moment…" Durkan said. #seattleprotests #CHAZ

It's clear @realDonaldTrump doesn’t understand what’s happening on five square blocks of our City. Cal Anderson and Capitol Hill has for decades been a place for free speech, community, and self expression.

“Video released by police appeared to show officers arriving at the protest zone saying they wanted to get to the victim and entering as people yelled that the victim was already gone. Police mostly retreated from the zone after clashes with protesters, KIRO-TV reported,” adds the website.
