.#DefundPolice by at least 50 percent needs to include immediately shifting Seattle’s non-criminal emergency call response away from police & into the purview of community organizers, social workers with public-sector, unionized, living-wage jobs

We need action, not more studies

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@cmkshama The focus needs to be on abolishing the police. If we get rid of @SeattlePD then they can’t gas Seattlites anymore. #DefundSPD

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@SeaTimesFotoKen @chaseburnsy @SeattlePD @seattletimes And yet more of the same from the @SeattlePD: using pepper spray on 7 year olds.

[Andy @andy_tuller]

⁦@Lisa_Herbold⁩ Thanks to your amendment ⁦@SeattlePD⁩ will still be allowed to do this. Thanks! https://t.co/GFIwUdseQ2

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@Lisa_Herbold So shameful to vote in support of gassing Seattlites. Ready to explain your actions to the 7 year old that was maced by police on Saturday? #shame

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@cmkshama I support the chemical weapons ban but don’t lose sight of the biggest issue. Defund the Seattle Police now. That should be the priority!

[Andy @andy_tuller]

⁦@MayorJenny⁩ Haave you watched this video? Time for you and the chief to resign: Outrage over video showing police macing child at Seattle protest https://t.co/GFIwUdseQ2

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

City Council will vote Monday on legislation from my office to

Ban police use & purchase of chemical weapons & all so-called "crowd control" weapons

Ban chokeholds.

Our movement needs to win both.

Following, my office will bring legislation for #DefundPolice by at least 50%.

If your an educator, student, or parent who is going to demand that police be removed from the schools in your district, like this tweet and pass it on.

If We Defund the Police, We Must Also Decriminalize Sex Work and Drugs https://t.co/HxdbWqeNAv

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@SeattlePD Serve and protect? More like terrorize and oppress. How could you do this to the citizens of your city? Stop using chemical weapons now!

[Daniel Beekman @DBeekman]

Seattle City Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda just said Mayor Jenny Durkan should "assess that in this moment, ask herself if she’s the right leader and resign."

[Daniel Beekman @DBeekman]

Sawant notes that she for years has proposed cutting SPD budget to fund things like housing. That's true. She also mentions that she joined petition signers over the weekend in calling for the mayor to resign "for gassing her own people."

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

Huge rally and march leaving Othello Park.

#DefundPolice cut police budget in half and fund restorative justice.

Jenny Durkan must go. If not, I'll bring forward articles of impeachment on behalf of our movement

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@SeattlePD How can think that responding to a protest against police violence with more violence will be tolerated?

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@SeattlePD So sad that you’re trying to justify your horrific acts of violent aggression against the people of your city.

[Andy @andy_tuller]

@MayorJenny you need to resign tomorrow!!!!! How could you do this to your city?

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Not going to share the video because I don't want to put the autoplay on people's timeline who may not want to see it, but if what those police did to Alton Sterling isn't murder I don't know what is
