AG Barr Responds To Seattle Police Chief’s Resignation Following City Council Cutting Police Funds

SEATTLE, WA - AUGUST 11: Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best announces her resignation at a press conference at Seattle City Hall on August 11, 2020 in Seattle, Washington. Her departure comes after months of protests against police brutality and votes by the City Council to defund her department by 14%.
 

Attorney General William Barr responded to Seattle Police Department Chief Carmen Best’s abrupt decision to resign on Monday night, saying that her decision to resign was the result of “irresponsible proposals to defund the police” from state and local leaders.

Best’s resignation came after the Democrat-controlled Seattle City Council voted on Monday to cut millions of dollars in funding from the police department and had targeted Best’s salary, proposing cutting it by 40%.

A quote from former Police Chief Best:

“The events of this summer were initiated in a moment of grief and outrage over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers and so many other Black and Brown people suffering at the hands of injustice,” Best concluded. “All of us must ensure that this righteous cause is not lost in the confusion of so many protestors now engaging in violence and intimidation, which many are not speaking against.”

The MSM is doing all it can, not to cover it.

??? So why is this even a story?  Barr's response means absolutely nothing.  It is meaningless.

Barr has proven to be yet another incompetent AG and has taken no real definitive action on anything.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
