Seattle mayor calls for more police after six shootings in one weekend

Mayor Jenny Durkan said Seattle lost 250 officers over the past 17 months

The mayor of Seattle is calling on the city to rebuild its depleted police force after six separate shootings rocked Washington state's largest metropolitan area over the weekend.

"As a city, we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers," Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said during a Monday press conference. "Over the past 17 months, the Seattle Police Department has lost 250 police officers which is the equivalent of over 300,000 service hours. We’re on path to losing 300 police officers."

Durkan added that the weekend violence is a "reminder" that there are certain emergency situations that require sworn police officers.

It's not just Seattle, it's all of the blue cities, especially Chicago

Chicago's top cop goes off on progressive policies, says they are to blame for crime wave (msn.com)

Blue city Mayors defunding cops and hiring private security for themselves on the citizens dime, how Progressive is that!

The noise maker screams "150 cops" but saves nothing of the 1000's of cops injured and killed by his loving Antifa & BLM groups.

Just one year ago Mayor Durkan's attitude toward Seattle PD was a bit different:

Defund the Police: Mayor Jenny Durkan Wants to Cut $20 Million From Seattle PD Budget

June 24, 2020

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan will propose $20 million in cuts to the police budget in the remainder of 2020, the most of any department as the city attempts to fill a hole of about $400 million caused by the coronavirus.

Durkan proposes slashing about 5% of the Seattle Police budget this year with an officer hiring freeze until a new plan is developed “reflecting community priorities for public safety,” The Seattle Times reported. Many of the protests that have dominated Seattle for weeks have demanded a 50% cut to the police department’s budget as a key goal. Durkan has asked the department to prepare models of what 20%, 30% and 50% budget cuts would look like.

In hindsight, perhaps that wasn't such a great idea.

The grass always looks greener on the other side of the barbed wire fence until their necks bleed. I don't expect many people wanting the job of being cops in cities where they are hated.

I foresee and old Mad Max movie becoming reality in Blue Cities.

Noooooooo……...

What Mayor Jenny Durkan and the city of Seattle NEED is to respect, support and defend the officers they do have and allow them to try to do their duties without fear of going to jail every time they come into contact with a citizen who may have an attitude.

Until they can show the officers they have that support, they will never get anyone new to want to go into such a hostile work environment.

That will only happen when the Mayors can't hire private security and all law abiding citizens are scared to step outside their homes. My gawd who'd want the job as my linked showed judges are allowing 100's murderers caught to walk Free as if a ankle monitor will stop them from killing again.
