Seattle, Wa. Do you think this is wise?
#1
The City Council of Seattle, Wa. I really would like to know if this is a smart move?
Quote:If You Thought 'Defund the Police' Was Insane You'll Love 'Abolish Prisons' in Seattle

Closing the Jail, Adult and Juvenile Detention building is a Good Idea? How are you going to detain and house Criminals?


Quote:Seattle is in King County, and the County Executive’s Office is moving ahead with plans to “abolish prisons.” A leaked email published by Christopher F. Rufo, contributing editor at City Journal, shows active plans to reduce both adult and juvenile detention and close the county jail in Seattle. The juvenile detention center would be converted to house other programs by 2025. According to Rufo, this plan will eliminate 60% of the county’s jail capacity.


Meanwhile, Seattle’s City Council has majority support—at least seven of the nine members—to slash the police department budget by 50%.
Mayor Jenny Durkan has said she would veto this drastic cut, supporting Police Chief Carmen Best.

Durkan has committed to cutting $76 million of the $400 million budget,” however.

Oddly, the “Summer of Love” mayor may be the only bulwark against complete insanity.
