Seattle City Council Member Suggests Firing White Officers In Massive Reduction Of Police Department

The Seattle City Council is facing something of a dilemma in its popular pledge of the Seattle City Council to cut the police budget by 50 percent. To do so would require firing a significant number of police officers, which is also popular. The problem is that the firing would be done by seniority and many of the less senior officers are black.  The solution according to City Council member Lisa Herbold is simple: fire officers based on their race.  While that would be the definition of racial discrimination, Herbold clearly believes that it is discrimination for a good cause. The federal courts are likely to disagree.  Most notably, Herbold’s call for racial discrimination against white officers would seek to undue the work of Justice Thurgood Marshall who insisted that racial discrimination unlawful and evil regardless of the race you want to disenfranchise or discriminate against.

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best released a video calling the plan of Herbold and others “completely reckless.” She also sent a letter to Mayor Jenny Durkan warning that dramatic cuts would require the layoff of hundreds of officers. The Police Department also warned that the firings would include many minority officers.

It was only the last risk that concerned Herbold who promptly suggested discriminating on the basis of race:

Herbold insists that this would be perfectly legal despite the prohibitions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Nah...noting racist about that at all.

Well, there is some wry humor in a honky council-critter suggesting layoffs by race and the black police chief refusing the "suggestion".

Just like the cancel-culture, it is only a matter of time until the 'Fire all the Whites' movement will boomerang back to all the Liberals who now support it. They will yell, "But I'm on your side!!" into deaf ears who do not care. Once race, politics, and skin color, becomes a passport as to who is 'allowed' to succeed, and who will be tossed aside, then no one is immune. It becomes a race-fire which very quickly becomes indiscriminate and irrational. All the White Democrats/Liberals/Socialists will see this firsthand this next year.

Seattle Democrats are straight-up racists.

Even funnier is the fact that black officers kill black perps at a higher rate than white officers... In fact all the data shows that officers are more likely to kill perps that share the same race. So if they really wanted fewer dead black perps they should hire only non black officers... At least if you go by the actual data...

As represented by that video of a large black woman clocking a white officer repeatedly until a black officer dropped her like a dirty shirt.

Oh the irony, eh?

Nothing speaks to racism like making decisions solely on the color of one's skin is there?

I would say that this black Police Chief is needing some help from the Federal Government to ensure our commitment to the United States Constitution.  AG Barr?

The chief added to the station that “it is illegal to make layoffs based on race. I’m not sure where [Herbold is] getting her legal advice from, but the persons who are advising us are making sure we understand it’s illegal to do that.”

The final payoff of the liberal indoctrination of our kids over decades is finally here. Black supremacy and liberal supremacy is here. This is only the beginning.  The liberals want a full blown civil war.  It sure seems like it's coming. I fear for my kids and grandkids.

Just wait until the killer interview question is : Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Democrat Party?
