A majority of Seattle City Council members now say they agree with a high-level proposal by advocates to defund the Police Department by 50% and reallocate the dollars to other community needs.
Council members Lisa Herbold, Dan Strauss and Andrew Lewis added support Thursday to a road map set out by Decriminalize Seattle and King County Equity Now.
They joined colleagues Tammy Morales, Kshama Sawant, Teresa Mosqueda and M. Lorena González, who previously backed the push to reduce the Police Department’s annual budget by 50% and promised quick action, while Mayor Jenny Durkan has asked the council to slow down.

haha, no. defund never meant defund. defund just meant something else.
now we know it means defund by 50%.
let's hope that they go ahead and do this.
defunding police by 50% should be enough to guarantee a shitshow.
federalism is great. too bad not everyone who will get harmed by this is a shitlib.

This is a big plus for South Carolina, being that Boeing is heavily investing in the Charleston factory and the other big factory in the US is in Seattle.
I welcome all former Seattle residents who wind up getting relocated to Charleston, but please don't vote democrat when you get here.
