Defund The Police

Black Live Matter. Defund the police. Repeal qualified immunity. Demilitarize the police. Down with police unions. Stop killing our black brothers and sisters.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

This is rediculous. This wording essentially does nothing, as cops have always been able to claim that that their life was in danger as an excuse for violence. This changes absolutely nothing. A chokehold should never even possibly be considered necessary.

[Phil Mattingly @Phil_Mattingly]

Here is the specific language on chokeholds from the executive order text:

As a trans person, this is saddening and sickening. So many vulnerable trans people will be put in danger over this. This will be the death of people. Black trans women are being murdered and now they can be denied helth care? This has to stop #Protectblacktranswomen

[GLAAD @glaad]

On a day the world remembers and mourns the 49 lives lost in a senseless attack on our community four years ago in Orlando, the Trump administration has decided to continue its campaign to further discriminate and attack LGBTQ Americans, specifically transgender people.

Keep it up Seattle. Together we are strong. #BLM #Seattleprotest #Seattleprotests

His body was hung from a tree. Police want to call it a Suicide. His family knows better. Everyone must demand Answers & The Truth.

The woman who was in serious condition after being hit in the chest by a flash bang fired by SPD has survived, but she very nearly died. Cops MUST be held accountable for their actions. #seattleprotest #BLM #DemilitarizeThePolice #DefundThePolice

Last night, protestors in Seattle peacefully occupy city hall. And it's not surprising that the abondoned police precinct was not destroyed or looted. Continue calling for @MayorJenny and @carmenbest.

#CHAZ: #Councilmember Kshama Sawant has a key to City Hall, allowing protesters to enter and chant for the mayor’s removal. #seattleprotest #seattle

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

This is a perfect call to action, especially if you can't get out and protest yourself. #BLM #DefundThePolice

@thatstherule @Leah_Stoffel @LSW1261267251 Absolutely. In Seattle, Mayor Jenny Durkan should absolutely be removed from office. It is one of the things people are calling for here. Brutality should not be a partisan issue.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

This video is hard to watch. Close up footage of the woman shot with a grenade by Seattle police. I have no words to describe how disgusted and sad I am seeing this. If this does not outrage you, then you are part of the problem. #blm #seattleprotest #seattleprotests

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

@LSW1261267251 @Leah_Stoffel There will still be police, especially for situations like this.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

@LSW1261267251 @Leah_Stoffel Defunding the police is not the same as disbanding them all together. The resources that are poured into giving officers countless special weapons and military toys, will be reinvested into vulnerable communities for other social services like mental health care.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

If you don't understand, or are confused with what #DefundThePolice or #DemilitarizeThePolice means, which is totally ok, i highly recommend watching this. @iamjohnoliver gives a good explanation of what it actually means on @LastWeekTonight

@jabronibeater2 One of the people who helped resuscitated her said that she was in "serious, but stable condition" I have not been able to find any other reports yet.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

@GBlackmore86 Absolutely not. Just because civilians are in a war zone, doing nothing at all, does not mean it is "acceptable" for soldiers to shoot them. There was absolutely no reason for the cops to do this. No excuses.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

The police have shown little regard for human life. Every time you hear "We are concerned for your safety" they really mean "We have no real control, crave violence, and have no intention of stopping if someone gets seriously hurt."

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

The woman is still in the hospital and in serious condition. The police have shown time and time again that they do not care about the lives of citizens. #seattleprotest #DefundThePolice #DemilitarizeThePolice

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

A young woman in Seattle was hit in the chest by a stun grenade last night. Any less lethal weapons fired at someone still have serious potential to kill. This is disgusting. The police fired on a medical tent while this woman was in critical condition.

This unfortunately unsurprising. The extended magazine, and extra taped magazine show how his intention. The way the cops arrested him seems like he knew he would be safe. Now we know why he felt safe approaching the police with a gun.

[Spek @spekulation]

Seattle Police are now saying that Nikolas Fernandez, the man who drove into the crowd yesterday carrying a handgun with an extra clip taped to it, has a brother who works AT THE EAST PRECINCT. They're also claiming he was scared for his life. https://t.co/mae8Zz5WpL

@Goldtrader67 You are part of the problem. Please grow a conscience.

[Defund The Police @DefundPDs]

Here is another view of when it all started. This protest was peaceful so so many hour, until the police decided that it wasn't. Email city council at [email protected] and demand the article of impeachment be submitted for Mayor Jenny Durkin. Remove her. #seattleprotest
