Seattle City Council overrides mayor's veto of police cuts
The council said the bill was a "downpayment" toward its effort to defund the police department by 50%
By Brie Stimson | Fox News
 

Seattle’s City Council voted 7-2 Tuesday evening to override Mayor Jenny Durkan's veto of a bill that would cut police funding by around $3 million.

"We cannot look away from this and we can no longer accept the status quo if we truly believe that Black lives matter," Council President Lorena Gonzalez said, according to MyNorthwest.com.

The bill would also remove as many as 100 officers from various police units and limit staff pay to $150,000, The Seattle Times reported.

I'm not one to wish violence on certain people, but karma can be a b*tch sometimes.

I just wonder how much a rush the reduced police force will be to respond to any calls from her or her residence.
