Ask Seattle how well that turned out
- pkulak 1y agoWhy? They didn’t defund their police.
- Izikiel43 1y agoThey tried, lots of people left, then backpedaled, and it's still not what it used to be.

- Kephael 1y agoSeattle upset their police force and made them quit, they then had to pay overtime to fewer remaining officers which increased their spending.
- mcdonje 1y ago"made them quit" That's some editorializing
- whoooboyy 1y agoSeattle has largely increased police funding, dramatically? For a dept under a consent decree until recently. The mayor also capped non police crisis response teams to 24 people. Total. For the city. 24. Seattle has done everything except defund the police, lol
- Izikiel43 1y agoThose are recent measures. They had to increase funding because they decreased it, and shit hit the fan, and they are trying to hire people back.
