This is REAL and happening now. Seattle City Council moves to abolish the entire Seattle Police Dept. Yet, this is not even the most insane of these resolutions.

In fact, neither document on
@realchrisrufo's site says what he says they do - that SPD should be abolished. They both call for moving some responsibilities from the department to other areas.
False. They explicitly say that beginning in 2021, they want to replace the department (i.e., abolish it) with community-led programs. It's fairly clear on this and matches with the rhetoric of the groups leading this movement, such as Decriminalize Seattle.

If you'll give a citation on that, I'll revise. But I'm not seeing it. I see them wanting to remove some functions from the department. And, again, I'm not supporting the proposal. If we're going to oppose it, however, I want to make sure we're opposing what it actually says.

And Section 4.C. explicitly requires the SPD to maintain experienced officers on staff. Hard to see how (or why) they'd do that in a nonexistent department.
