The fighting over vaccine mandates continues, but the tug-of-war may soon displace a huge number of Seattle’s law enforcement.
The city of Seattle, Washington, recently established a vaccine mandate for all city employees, which includes police, with a deadline of October 18th – or face possible termination of employment.
Among those who haven’t submitted proof of vaccination are 292 police officers, and an additional 111 awaiting approval of submitted exemption paperwork, according to the Daily Mail. This creates a total of 403 officers that may lose their jobs on the 18th, if Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan enforces the deadline.
The loss would constitute 37 percent of the police force’s total employees. While this would be a staggering number of layoffs in any city’s police department at any time, the current situation of Seattle indicates that losing so many officers at this time would be a catastrophe.
As is, Seattle is already suffering from staff shortages not seen since the 1980’s, a spike in crime (particularly in South Seattle), and a city council that has vowed to de-fund the police, and rejected an initiative aimed at hiring and retention among the police force. The police budget was already slashed by 17 per cent in 2020, and the shortages come from the loss of 300 officers since the beginning of 2020 until now. Officer retention is so serious that sometimes there are as few as 70 officers on patrol at night in the entire city of Seattle.

There has to be a plan, an agenda, an end result they desire, because no one is this senseless or this stupid. How can a city, a country turn on itself, when is it enough for the people to stand against this insanity?
And just how is anyone living there supposed to notice?

The Demonrats want total destruction so they can call in the UN troops to go Door to door and take or weapons
Just a sneaky way to defund police and eventually totally do away with them and replace them with social workers. Can't wait to see how that goes when they come face to face with a mentally imbalanced and heavily armed gunman who has already murdered several people who will refuse to surrender.
Seattle is an absolute disaster. The city council is all Marxists and proud of it. You can't get rid of them because they were voted into office, by whom is anybody's guess. The Mayor is totally useless and will not upset the city council nor the governor who is an idiot, doing whatever Newsom and Brown do in CA and OR. No independent thought in his head.
The crime rate is staggering, and there are about the same number of homeless as regular folks. Everywhere you look, it is filth, human feces, needles, closed businesses and every bush on every highway is hiding the homeless. To add insult to injury, the Afghans are moving in along with the Haitians. The city needs to have a wall around it and flooded!
Yes; that's the goal, so they can use the excuse that they need to send in their gobalist U.N. goons to totally rush us.
