Liberal city mayor proposed increasing police budget — then protesters showed up at his house

Protesters marched to Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's home Sunday afternoon, outraged over his proposal to add $17 million to the city's police budget next year.

"What better way to spend our Sunday than marching a bunch of amazing people up to Mayor Bruce Harrell's house and delivering him a birthday present?" one speaker said, according to KING 5. Harrell's birthday is later this month.
 

The protest was called "Justice for Jaahnavi" in honor of the 23-year-old college student hit and killed by a patrol car while stepping into a crosswalk in January.

Harrell's proposed budget gives the Seattle Police Department more than $391 million, a $17 million increase from the 2023 budget.

The cities are going to burn. And we need to let them.

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
