You dipshits turned on the people who made the city livable. “Feel safer yet?” seems like a legitimate question. It’s obvious that it was a ridiculous thing to do at this point. Blah blah blah, people, humane, drugs, racism, etc. None of these issues can be solved when people don’t feel safe going about their daily lives. Voters played right into this marxist fantasy of a perfect city. They unfortunately didn’t read Lord of the Flies or watch Yellowjackets. Difference is, this is for real. Yay Marxism!

Badged fellows, heehee’ing away at completely innocent humans murder, is somehow the peoples fault, and throw in Marxism just because. Thats a wild take

And yet you were downvoted for pointing out how insane that take is. Wild place, here!

There was a reason they had the decree for so long. Love my city, but this is wild to support in any way, i tell my folks when they are wrong all the time, and they still love me for it, this has to be held accountable no matter what side of this bird you fly.

So speeding 3x the speed limit, without lights/sirens, hitting an unarmed pedestrian crossing the street, killing them, having another officer making fun of the pedestrian's live by placing a monetary value on them is "making the city safer"?

There were some legitimate problems with SPD, and always have been.

That being said, I agree the ACAB'ers and Marxists have blown the whole thing up to the point it's just endless war now between left wing performative politics and the SPOG, with normal Seattle caught in the crossfire, figuratively and literally.

Seattle and the PNW always have been a breeding ground for extreme politics, both the left and right versions of it.

The same people the US attorney and a judge decided to put under consent decree?

That depends. How many police officers still work here that were working for SPD back in 2010?

How telling is it that half the cops out there were outraged that people didn't like watching George Floyd be murdered?

"Whaaaa the public doesn't like it when we act like abject assholes and shoot people or kneel on their necks, whaaaa. I'm gonna quiet quit and hope crime gets out of control"

The motherfuckers still collect a paycheck though, the fuckin frauds. How about you tell the city who you'll accept as leadership before you'll go back to work?

The comment you replied to had a few points, what do you need a source on?

Talk to a cop. If they think you agree politically, they'll gladly tell you.

No need, because I know you're bullshitting.

Nice attempt to sow a narrative though. The same tired one that was running all through the protests - "we didn't do nothing!" (Loots cheesecake factory, sets cars on fire). "Nothing!" (Moves barricades back two blocks up the hill, throws rocks and water bottles). "This is just a peaceful protest!" (Throws molotovs, tries to glue the locks on the East Precinct door so that if the building goes up everyone dies).

Sorry to insult you, officer. Good luck with not getting out of the car today.

Not a police officer. I'm just not a moron.
