PM: During cuts to the Seattle Police Department’s budget last year in response to the “defund the police” movement, Seattle City Council voted to cut the Seattle Police Department’s Navigation Team that had the responsibility of clearing the city’s violent homeless encampents and referring campers to social services.
However, it has been revealed that Seattle police officers who were on the Navigation Team have been reassigned to provide personal protection for Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, despite a significant increase in violent crime throughout the encampments and a decrease in deloyable officers citywide due to early retirements and resignations in the wake of the defund the police movement.
Multiple sources within SPD confirmed that officers from the former Navigation Team and North Precinct patrol provide 24/7 security outside of Mayor Jenny Durkan’s multi-million dollar home in an upscale Seattle neighborhood. read more
Anyone who votes for a piece of shit who does something like that is a complete fucking asshole. End of story.
Will probably win re-election in a landslide!

It is exactly what they themselves would do in a similar circumstance, that much I can promise you. They worship and envy power and particularly the power to pull a stunt like this.
All WA voting is mail-in. Dominion running the show.
Any cop who will accept orders to do this, without retiring (if they have enough time to do so) or quitting and finding work elsewhere, are the same cops who will assault you for not wearing a face diaper or for protesting ClotShot “mandates.”
I’ve had to walk through Seattle at 1am a couple times recently to get from the ferry to the train to SeaTac. It’s a fucking nightmare. Not a cop in sight and the streets are crawling with evil. All I had for a weapon were a couple sheet rock knives which I had to dispose of in the airport but I was more than prepared to begin slashing.
