Mayor Harrell and City Council’s response to the Trump administration so far is all talk, no action. They have issued a tepidly worded letter addressed to no one, a useless bill saying Seattle will follow the existing State Shield law, a resolution proclaiming councilmembers love SPD, and held panel discussions. If Mayor Harrell and the City Council actually want to protect us from the Trump administration, they must start taking action, including a repeal of the mass surveillance they approved last year.
I don’t think we will ever hit critical mass on this issue IMHO
Normie is too dense to see the class war, I gave zero hope them seeing for what this before it is too late.
With that being said this is part of the class war, a very important battle we are losing within larger context. They know what they need to have in place in order to keep that boot on our necks at all times.
Working class gets fucked over time unless they do something. And they kinda do it to themselves since bad faith factors always seem to be able to mobilize useful idiots
so people in the CID should just accept a ridiculous amount of violent crime in their neighborhood?
I’m confused.
I value privacy. but if I lived on north aurora I’d want them to reduce the streetwalkers and violence. not sure how to do that without putting hundreds more cops on the streets, sans the cameras…
now the issues I have come down to SPD viewing surveillance as an alternative to actually enforcing the laws. or SPOG figuring out a way to grift more overtime from it.
I get it, I fucking despise trump too, but just saying “federal law enforcement will have access to this local law enforcement tool so it has to go away” seems dubious from the premise.
What ridiculous amount of crime are you alluding to? It’s been going down over the past several decades, not up.
But if you must call for more of something, why not just call for more boots on the ground in those minority neighborhoods? That always turns out well.
And why would you assume a surveillance panopticon would only be used for good purposes?
I do doubt that crime in general is increasing.
I do doubt that intensive and automated surveillance is anywhere remotely close to helpful.
I do doubt that relying on law enforcement, which is usually on the side of the hateful, are the right custodians of mass surveillance, let alone given discretion to use violence in response to it.
I know it’s sarcasm, but it’s genuinely chilling how much Seattle is pretending to care about people while targeting the exact same people
And from the linked article, Seattle Must Repeal Mass Surveillance Expansion To Protect People from Trump:
“How can we keep
the wealthysociety safe if we don’t know what you’re doing at all times?”/s

Defund the police helped get Eric Adams elected.

no more cops and no surveillance - you just figure the crimes will stop themselves.
that’s a new kind of stupid.
