He means when cops do their jobs, the civilians then come after them for what they do. "Please save us!!'. Followed by "your wrong for what you did to save me!!"
The reality is without people actually being held in jail and held accountable in court it doesn't matter how much resources you throw at it. Crime and garbage will always be the picture of Seattle and the surrounding area. But god help us we actually have someone in a position that matters and doesnt care about hurting people's feelings. Criminals are not victims, they are criminals!!!! Arresting a transient for a crime is not criminalizing homelessness its holding people accountable for their actions, its that simple.
When you say "criminal," are you actually talking about people convicted of crimes after a speedy and public trial, or are you just talking about whomever the police decide to confront at gunpoint in the street?
When I see people complain about Seattle being dirty and crime-ridden I always think, "this is a person who has lived in Seattle their entire life." I'm sorry that it's not as perfect as you wish it was. Maybe go somewhere else and see how clean and calm it is in other places.
This is what happens when their is no discipline. Democrat leaders don't want to be strict, and the kids take over, in this case, the criminals take over. Get tough, America, and remember your past.
This opinion with no evidence is supposed to describe why Seattle is the way it is? Yeah, let's take an unsubstantiated claim and run with it as the framework for a new solution.
Hire other responders? Like what, unarmed park rangers like Portland is trying? You council members are a joke that the good people of Seattle suffer for.
Yes. Just like those. Also city domestic violence responders. DV calls are statistically the most dangerous situations pigs respond to. It’s almost like bringing a gun carried by a person with no interpersonal skills to a volatile interpersonal situation is a bad idea 🤔
Incompetent losers who let landlords lie and injure renters. They look the other way as paying renters were forced into homelessness, have their belongings taken or killed. It’s kill or be killed it seems.
Hiring “other responders” sounds like very similar to the “arming teachers” situation. When the people that are supposed to protect us fail they want others to pick up a responsibility that shouldn’t have to be in their job description, and likely without a pay raise.
Here's a fun fact. Look up how much the city spent on homelessness for the last 3 years. I wonder where those billions went and the problem getting worse
@@MoltandMigrate so do librarians. I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm saying the city council is hostel towards law enforcement and our DA refuses to aggressively prosecute most crimes.
@@tomb70 Listen, friend. I don't know in what world you live in that a well-paying government job with benefits has "less respect" than someone suspected of doing a crime. Hell, police are invited to parades and community events. They have qualified immunity. They have government issued weapons and armour and vehicles. Like, take stock of what is actually here, friend.
@@MoltandMigrate it is a government job, criminals are not employed by king county. They do have a union and that affords them gear and benefits. However since seattle pd was put under doj investigation a few years back they have been loosing qualified immunity and the city council has been outwardly hostel to local pd. Seattle has realized they stepped on their D after large companies started moving to Belview. Facts 😞
Send in the army. Authoritarianism isn't looking so bad right now. America needs help. We need to get tough, but America is afraid of getting tough, therefore the criminals are taking over. How weak
@@MistypedCreations333 what guard? Who do you think is in the Guard? That be cops firemen road workers etc. Rob Peter pay Paul. Face it. Be a long time to get and staffing if police back up. Everybody said this was going to happen but oh they were sure defund police. Triple budget there’s no guys who want job now. Pennsylvania just graduated 101 State Troopers. 96 men 5 women. 2019 that would’ve led to people being fired for that patriarchy hiring. Now? Desperate times. Ladies didn’t want the job I guess
Make it a year of love …..thank Durkan for defund the police ……crime is rampant and Seattle is dirty and crime ridden …….oh wait let’s give money to the homeless and buy them a few hotels
I've been saying this Since CHOP/CHAZ Policing Needs to Go back to the small town Cop That knew you and you knew them. Your mobile police unit proves this you can do this when staged correctly will more than likely be the key to curbing crime.
Small town cop doesn't work when your seriously understaffed and chasing calls from the second you punch into service while sometimes stuffing your lunch while your enroute to the next call...
snowflakes are all the democrats mad they have to wear a gun around seattle cause it’s meth town USA. Turns out the democrats ideal utopia is a drug filled crime rampant race war 😂
All of a sudden you guys want the cops back. Each and everyone of those officers should turn their backs on that whole city. I guarantee everyone of those people that were so grateful for the police presence are the same ones that were screaming defund not to long ago. I hope more officers leave and go somewhere they are truly appreciated
Usually are not the same people! Even in Seatle there are ~741 251 people (2020)... even if there are 25 000 saying defund the police, cut the police size or just shut down police altogether... well there are all other 716 000 people that may not have the same opinion that having less cops is a good thing... probably if people were asked, they would want much more police to patrol everywhere including their street. Seattle city should have around 7413 police officers (~1% of the population)... they just have 968 police officers. Once they reach the 1% of population level, I agree that they should invest in all other things like health help, and all other things. These idealist don't get that in the real world either you have a strong police force to stop the worst offenders and prevent most situations, or you are not going to convince anyone to get better because who will stop them from doing the wrong thing ? Of course there all those problems with bad people working in police and the police having problems in taking those people down, but is the solution to just get rid of the police? If people stealing can't be just killed, and so many want that specie of humans well protected and supported... why can't the police receive the same amount of help to recover their bad humans working there?
It's a shame the city spends its money on things like policing rather than providing citizens cleanly, private places for regulated consumption. We should at least have needle exchanges widely available and accessible so people aren't forced to toss used needles in the trash or on the ground.
@@MoltandMigrate do be aware that most needle exchanges especially in the state of Washington aren't actually exchanges. I've witnessed people coming in to get the needles, they're simply handed a bag of needles.. if they actually had to exchange used, bent, corroded, dirty, filthy, broken needles and syringes we wouldn't have them on sidewalks, in parks and in the gutters ... nevermind tens of thousands in every encampment that has to be cleaned up ... the word needle "exchange" is incorrect; free needle giveaway .. that would be more correct
There is no concrete solution because yall arrested and criminalized enough people that it stopped working for yall specially kids that wanted to be officers at one point in time but they got a felony as a minor that now follows them into adulthood its like they did this to themselves.
why? because you defunded and don't have respect for those that try to help you
The people of Seattle voted for this. Quit complaining.

The city gives more respect to criminals rather law enforcement.
This is the environment the voters of Seattle want.

I'm really thinking this is the only way they'll learn.

1 whole day.

Thank you so much..well said..

When there is one cop per 10k citizens its tough to have those one on one relationships.
They can’t even do their jobs. They let landlord trash hurt renters, take their belongings and force them into homelessness.
@@bryceshannenclother4657 when your department can't even fire a cop for wishing to go back to the days of lynching also hurts community relations
Sure, needs to go back. But how exactly, in a huge city like Seattle? It’s not like you’ll be rubbing shoulders with every local outside of your work
Small town cop doesn't work when your seriously understaffed and chasing calls from the second you punch into service while sometimes stuffing your lunch while your enroute to the next call...

They dont like feeling like creepers.

Who wants to work with no respect ?

You guys don't give out any bonuses I wouldn't work for you guys either, spd is to cheap.
enjoy those slow response times
How about fire all the bd cops so they good cops will want to say. There are good cops but they are leaving because they are getting blamed to

Should it surprise anyone why police officers would not want to work there? Everyone wants to be respected and valued in what they do.
Maybe hire a Republican as governor..... maybe a new congressman? 🤔 IDK...I don't live in Seattle anymore....
