Can't read the article, paywall. Begs the question; what good are the Seattle police if they aren't going to investigate crime?

  A valid question anywhere because investigating crimes is never really one of their priorities. Even their inflated, self-reported stats show they don't consider it a high priority or their main role.

  Deterrence
  • wardedVibe 4y ago
    Deterrence only works if people actually believe they might be punished, which this demonstrates they won't.

      And that is why we actually need some prosecution and jail sentences. It might not deter those who don't have anything left, but at least others it is likely to make evaluate somewhat what they will do.
