Seattle City Council President M. Lorena González issued a statement Tuesday in response to “targeted protests at the homes of council members.”

Some people have protested outside the homes of council members Alex Pedersen and Debora Juarez recently. Pedersen and Juarez have said they support making cuts to the Police Department’s budget but have not, unlike their colleagues, committed to a goal of defunding the department by 50%.

Defunding advocates say money should be transferred from a police department with officers who too often hurt Black people and others to community-based solutions that can better prevent and resolve crimes.

The council members must be incredibly naive to think painting yellow on your belly and slithering up to thugs like a whipped dog will keep the thugs from doing what they do best - terrorize.
