      I wonder if they still want to defund police?

      Seattle’s data on homicides follow a national trend from 2020. FBI data show murders increased by nearly 30% in 2020, marking the largest single-year increase in killings since the agency began tracking the crimes. The data show murders disproportionately affected Black Americans, at a more than 32% increase compared to 2019.

      This is entirely predictable. When the governing party sides with outlaws and anarchists against the police, what do you expect?  The real sad part is that property and violent crimes are likely up more than the stats because why bother calling the police?
