Seattle mayor asks city council to free up funding for police

After dozens of officers quit and a surge of gun violence in the city, Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan is asking the city council to free up funding for police

Durken is a joke! This is the result of your summer of love!

My uncle was a seattle police officer for 30 years. Last year, the council and this idiot mayor embraced the mobs who were chanting defund the police and actually went through with it and treated my uncle and his fellow officers like dirt. My uncle and a few 100 other officers quit in protest. He moved all the way to Texas where hes now a state trooper. "It'll be a cold day in hell when I return to Washington" - his words

I looked at the six candidates for mayor in the upcoming election. I expect nothing to change, except for the worse.

You voter for it. Not feeling sorry for you.

Hey Seattle, you reap what you sow. Good luck.

0:19 Hundreds (somewhere over 200) have quit and that can be easily verified as I just did. Why distort reality?

LOOK WHO JUST WOKE UP. GOOD MORNING MAYOR.

How can any normal person watch this, and not laugh out loud. These idiot politicians have absolutely lost all connections with reality.

Don't stop there, oversight for the redistribution of funds should be demanded not requested.

How about you sell that military gear you don't need since we have army stationed in the city. Our police department doesn't need to be treated like miltary. They aren't. And most you clowns complaining...if you don't live within Seattle city limits, your opinion on our police department is irrelevant

Just $15k bonus for joining a force that is being defunded ?

The problem is white supremacy, not lack of money.
