Yesterday The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

The Democrat-controlled Seattle City Council voted late on Monday to advance a highly controversial plan to defund the Seattle Police Department as violent crime and far-left riots have rocked the city in recent months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Seattle City Council voted<\/a> to remove approximately $3 million from the Seattle Police Department\u2019s budget…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cThe committee voted to move the bulk of its proposal forward during its 10 a.m. session, before giving its final approval Monday evening by a 7-1 margin,\u201d MyNorthWest reported<\/a>. \u201cCouncilmember Kshama Sawant was the lone \u201cno\u201d vote, while Debora Juarez \u2014 who was not present at Monday\u2019s meetings \u2014 abstained. Sawant\u2019s vote against the package was based around her belief that it didn\u2019t go far enough in its reductions to SPD\u2019s funding.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fox News reported<\/a> at the start of the month that Seattle was one of several Democrat-controlled cities that had seen a recent spike in \u201cshootings and murders.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best will be resigning on Wednesday morning, following the city council voting to defund the police amid massive unrest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The news of Best\u2019s resignation came one day after dozens of businesses were looted once again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Q13 reports<\/a>, \u201cthe council on Monday approved proposals that would reduce the police department by up to 100 officers through layoffs and attrition. Chief Best was vocal in her oppostion to the cuts, which came after councilmembers pledged to redirect money from SPD to community programs amid calls from protesters in the wake of George Floyd\u2019s death in Minneapolis.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The budget cut will slash nearly $4 million from the department\u2019s annual budget \u2014 and the councilmembers promised to cut even more in 2021. The 7-1 vote faced objections from the city\u2019s police chief, mayor and the Seattle Police Officers\u2019 Guild.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It does not take a genius to predict that businesses and property owners will be leaving Seattle in the near future. Community programs have value, but unless you have some semblance of law and order in a city, people don’t want to live or operate businesses there.<\/p>\n
