      BREAKING: Seattle City Council moves to abolish the entire Seattle Police Department and replace it with a "civilian led Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention." They want to replace the police force with nonprofit programs and "community-led activities."pic.twitter.com/JnFaWusvvv

      In the proposed legislation, the council argues that the Seattle Police Department "[perpetuates] racism and violence" and upholds "white supremacy culture."pic.twitter.com/fYuHtyYWTG

      The council endorses the "Decriminalize Seattle" agenda that would replace the police force with: –"Culturally-relevant expertise rooted in community connections" –"Housing, food security, and other basic needs" –"Trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis"pic.twitter.com/shtCgAIQTl

      And finally, the plan demands that the City conduct an "immediate transfer of underutilized public land for BIPOC community ownership"—in essence, the redistribution of land, which is a hallmark of Marxist regimes.pic.twitter.com/9ENdRhFLWD

      This is madness. If Seattle moves forward with its plan to abolish the police and permanently close the region's largest jail, it will lead to the immediate collapse of public order. But for now, the political class is following the mob. Beware.

      P.S. If you want to support my reporting on the hard-left's attempt to "abolish the police" and establish a "new racial orthodoxy," please consider making a small monthly donation here. We have to fight back against this.https://christopherrufo.com/support

          P.P.S. Some are claiming that the documents do not say "abolish the police." Nonsense. Beginning in 2021, they want to eliminate the department (i.e., abolish it) and replace it with community-led nonprofits and a new "Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention."

          The activist groups that are leading this movement, including Decriminalize Seattle, have explicitly made "police abolition" their goal. This plan paves the way for eliminating SPD and replacing it with an activist-led "Committee of Public Safety"—much like the French Revolution.

          Pump the brakes. The resolution says “remove certain functions” from the SPD, not “abolish and replace”. No need to overdramatize this.

          Why would anyone open or run a business in a city with no police. No business = no taxes
