Seattle reverses course on defunding police as crime ravages locals: 'A huge crisis'
Story by Taylor Penley • Yesterday 9:15 AM
 
 
Seattle residents Victoria Beach, Eli Hoshor and Jonathan Choe said police shortages have left their city in dire straits in the aftermath of officials' anti-law enforcement rhetoric.


Homicides skyrocketed by 24% while motor vehicle thefts climbed by 30% in the city last year. Overall crime ticked up by 4%.

Mayor Bruce Harrell pushed for increased police presence to curb the issue Tuesday, saying, "We need immediate action and innovation to respond to our public safety issues… Seattle saw a 4% rise in reported crime last year… We need more officers to address our staffing crisis."

Still, some residents' outlook is less than optimistic.

Ive said before that I envy the left

They aren’t burdened with any concepts like math, unintended consequences, economics, science

They just implement their policies and assume they’ll work as intended
