So all that money for police and Harrell, Nelson, and Davison still aren’t preventing crime. In fact it’s worse since his watch and was better under Durkan.
SPD is woefully understaffed compared to cities of comparable size/population – to say otherwise is ignorant or willfully obtuse.
That is exactly the problem. Compared to other cities we are down anywhere from 400 to 900 based on population.
Sarah Nelson is a joke and has done ZILCH, along with Harrell, in fixing any of this in TWO WHOLE YEARS NOW
Harrell and Davison and Nelson have been around two years and increased the budger a bunch. What are they freaking changing? NOTHING!
Well, unfortunately they can’t force people to apply for SPD positions. I’m traditionally NOT a cop lover by any means but the climate for the officers in Seattle is not great – morale is a big reason we are down so many officers.
Now, there are plenty of reasons for that including some of SPD’s own making, but it’s certainly not the fault of Harrell or Nelson.
Please take your medication.
Police don’t prevent crime, they just respond to it (sometimes).
Finally, someone that reads.
It’s going to take years to undo the damage the last council has inflicted on Seattle. We’ll be lucky to have public safety positions at the staffing needed for a city our size by the end of the decade.
yup.. it took about 10 years to trash things this far (with a little fast forward push by COVID…) It’s silly to think that it should have taken a single council member and the mayor (who cannot make policy.. only enact that which the council passes) a year or so to turn it all around. Let’s give this new council a little time. Things are already a little better. Cops can at least take people who are completely off of their rockers off the streets again..
Harrell on council and mayor for 15 of those years
Again, one opposed by the majority… Now that there’s a differently thinking majority, it will take some time to undo the damages. Sorry bub.. reasonable people are not being fooled by you..
Learn the proper use of ellipses, please. And while you’re at it, quite calling me “Bub.”
…and yet another ridiculous far-left word salad from Summit “Man”, Bub.
