Griff welcome back the Seattle City Council pushing to abolish its police force just days after fifty nine cops were hurt in violent riots under the bill. The cops would be replaced with community led prevention program. Ari Hoffman once ran for City Council. What is going on in Seattle, the experiment of the chop, the failure of it wasnt clear to elected officials when they removed cops and five shoots, resulted in two deaths of two african american teenagers. They want to expand that to the city. They have not put forth any plans how to keep communities safe at risk like the jewish community, the asian community who had incidents of violence before there was a shooting in Seattle against the jewish Federation of Greater Seattle S, DOT, Wa Dot. T teams had to respond theyre talking about cutting that back Griff. Why is the council doing this

theyre really about abolishing the police department? A lot of them said they would do it when running for council. This shouldnt be a surprise to anybody. This is more of their marxist socialist ideology. The question who is this community group? Are they going to replace the police department with the law enforcement assistance? Diversion program has been a failure. They havent produced any numbers since two thousand and fourteen, where they divert criminals into other forms of treatment, quote unquote so far, it hasnt worked out at all. They keep reoffending and they are prolific offenders who keep terrorizing residents of downtown. They fail along the policy path and there is no recourse to the citizens. Griff we reached out to the Seattle Police Department. We havent heard back the chief out there chief best, really in a difficult spot. How do they now handle this? She called the decision. Reckless, the police department has a petition gathering signature effort, which was at over one hundred thousand

people. Last time. I checked it theres with a rally yesterday to show support for the Seattle Police Department and a lot of people who are not normally heard are making their feelings very well heard right now, online and in protests in public Griff. I misspoke we reached out to the Seattle City Council, not the police department. My point was about the police department in a larger sense. Ari, a Gallup poll number really caught our attention. Fifteen percent of Americans support abolishing police departments, while fifteen percent is perhaps a low number. If you consider the ramifications of what that would mean, it is really quite frightening. Are you concerned that, as goes Seattle will go the country the I have often called Seattle is canary in the coal mine for rest of America? This is the kind of stuff they try out here. It gets pushed out. For example, this lead program, law enforcement assistance, diverse program was pushed out across the country. T was basis for bail reform law that turns criminals loose in New York.

If you look what is happening in New York, where african american communities are asking for police to be redeployed cut back by Mayor De Blasio, the same thing will happen here in Seattle. Seattle was the basis for a lot of these failed policies. That is very concerning to me concerning to me how people are not watching what is happening in Portland and Seattle with riots. People claim are peaceful protest, which are anything, but now they are in favor of bringing this to their own cities. Griff Canary in the coal mine.
