@komonews Because they were defunded.
I recently spoke with a group of SPD officers who needed 16 cops to run the afternoon to midnight shift. They only had five. This is normal due to low morale and the defund movements.
@seattletimes I live and work in Seattle. We have gang violence and gunshots in our neighborhood regularly.
For many years, we have seen increasing taxes AND increases in crime, open air drug markets, and basic services like road repairs not being completed.
