There is a movie called “The Purge” where they legalize crime for 24 hours, Seattle is not far off. They have defunded their police and made the environment so unhospitable towards them, that response times are sickeningly slow. If someone breaks into your house in Seattle you better be armed or made your peace with God, because you are on your own for up to an hour in Seattle. It takes emergency responders that long to reach someone due to the budget cuts and anti-police atmosphere that has led many to resign/retire.
As the City Council Public Safety Committee discussed the Seattle Police Department Quarterly Finance and Staffing Report Tuesday, it was revealed that response times for crimes called in to 911 can take longer than 60 minutes.
Officials warned that this would happen as the council continued to defund and demonize the police causing an exodus of nearly 300 officers this year alone.
In October 2020, Seattle Interim Police Chief Adrian Diaz warned that he did not believe the number of deployable officers Seattle has was safe for the public.”No. Even when I was pushing out our budget for next year with the city council, I was explaining the need for us to have people that are going through the academy, that are going through our FTO [Field Training Officer] phase, and then being able to deploy them out,” he said.
The council took no action after Diaz’s warning and continued to work towards defunding the police. Council has instead looked at the departure of officers as a bonus “savings” and planned to allocate the over $15 million to other budget items.”
So this should be a wake-up call for residents to get out of Dodge. It is not safe in the city. Criminals could easily go on crime sprees and they would have up to an hour to getaway. An hour… What are Libs thinking? If you are stuck in that city it’s definitely time to buy a gun for self-defense and some extra security measures for your home.
