The damage done in one summer will take years to undo. I don't blame any law enforcement professional for not wanting to go there. The city council and Jenny Durkan destroyed Seattle.
One summer? The PNW has been a dumpster fire. There were people working in the Seattle Mayor office on meth and popping pills in the 90's (still there). Y'all always want to blame the politics to sound like you care but y'all really don't. wet trash
I’m a mental health therapist and I responded to domestic violence calls under a police department. On the one call I was not escorted by an armed officer (he left for an officer down call) both myself and the victim were beaten by the perpetrator who had returned to the scene as soon as he knew the squad car had left. I have worked on several crisis teams, and my experience has convinced me that unarmed “alternative” officers will NOT be effective. We can act as support officers, but are unlikely to control the scene without authority.
Police aren't here to help The People! It all about Officers Safety Not Pubic Safety 😪. They feel like their not Appreciate and We The People Feel like were nothing but prey for them.
Sounds like the first problem is to remove budgeting authority from the Seattle City council. They’ve shown misuse of funding, & ideological conflicts. Get an independent city comptroller like Bellevue.
It’s not the bonuses. It’s the city council that keeps people from coming to Seattle. (From a former Washington state police officer) Your city hates cops, they won’t stay. No matter the money. Fix your council.
Funny how no one cares when police hey murdered by the violent animals who lefties have unleashed on Western civilization. One govt social worker loses a fingernail responding to a call? EVERYONE WAILS AND GNASHES THEIR TEETH
Also, they are only going by types of calls. The number of police on patrol at any given time has a huge impact on deterring crimes. Social workers don’t deter crimes
Oh goodness. Who could've seen this coming? I mean, what was that Seattle said and did all 2020? Defund the police? Tie the hands of the officers still on the force? Release criminals back onto the streets after demanding police do the work of catching them? Definitely a shock they're having these issues now 🙄
Everybody hate the police until they need them. Felt sorry for all good people who depend on law enforcement for safety. To satisfy the needs of some selfish people, others will be sacrificed
Im born and raised in Seattle. Seattle was a great place to live and visit. Now it is a great place to move away from and to stay away. I just received jury duty notice for King Co Sup Ct. I responded to the notice and explicitly advised them that I would be glad to serve at Norm Maleng Justice ctr, but under no circumstances will I serve at Sup court in Seattle or Juv court. NO WAY.
@RogueReflections Do you think that badge is given? It's earned in itself. If officers go through the training and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for your safety, they deserve respect. Respect the badge, for it, and the officer who wears it deserves respect.
The old adage "It takes 10 times more effort to get a new customer than keep an existing one" goes double for police. Every year, Seattle will most likely have fewer officers than the year before. It's what people voted for, what they took to the streets and demonstrated for. I see a video in my recommended "Business of private security in Seattle is booming." No doubt it is.
I live not too far from Seattle. I used to look forward to a trip or two to the city each year but now I dont feel safe visiting. The streets are full of homeless people struggling with mental health issues and/or drug issues. Liberal cities seem to let drugs flow throughout the city. It feels like I'm watching Seattle go down the same path as Detroit and other rotting cities because of extremism. What will happen when there is no law and order in Seattle?
Seattle police department is a good department but very unappreciated by the city council and elected officials, this video shows the evidence. It will take a decade to rebuild, and it might be too late. I feel sorry for the residents who support and love ❤️ SPD
You said Elected officials, no they are selected, mail in voting & DOMINION machines. We have to take back our rights to vote in person & no George Soros owned machines ( aptly named DOMINION, like in the bible, Satan will have DOMINION) look @ our once beautiful Emerald City, under DemocRAT control it's turned into a shitthole
I could turn that city around within 2 years. 2 YEARS!! Give me complete dictatorship control over all the city and it's resources and I will save everything about what Seattle citizens love about their home!
@@reppinseattle7974 Hello, I mean in the context of a game of chance. Not knowing what the outcome will be when the roulette wheel will spin. Kind of the same thing when the police make an arrest. You don’t know when a corrupt politician will turn on them and ruin their life.
@@andrewpassman8621 what? You sound delusional man. There are hundreds of examples on UA-cam of police ruining their own lives. Name just a SINGLE instance where a politician ruined the life of a cop who didn’t deserve it.
@@gsaexperience8578 I am sure there are many. I am not going to look it up. I agree with you the bad police exist. On the flip side. The people resisting bear most of the responsibility. If they followed lawful instructions and sometimes unlawful instructions. Even bad police would probably not shoot them. They would be alive to fight another day. The politicians are solely responsible for making the city out of control. This emboldenes criminals to escalate their bad behavior. I think most police officers there see this and that is why they see a no win situation weather the arrest was good or bad. Have a good day.
@@andrewpassman8621 you sound like a tyrant. You think that people should surrender their rights to police if they are unlawful being detained under threat of being shot? Police need to be held accountable, 90% of them don’t even know basic constitutional law. The constantly violate the 4th amendment. So you are suggesting that if you are doing nothing wrong and a cop demands your ID you should comply so you don’t get shot, even if the officer is unlawfully detaining you and asking you to ID yourself. I see why it’s got so bad. People would rather boot lick than have rights.
If your are a police officer in need of work, instead of Seattle you might try Florida 😉 from what I've heard it's one of the best decisions a police officer can make.
I have grown up and lived in the upper Midwest and we have some major television stations here but we do not have anything at the level of this program. Congratulations on a fantastic local investigative news program.
David needs to be the Seattle mayor in the Washington governor you've got more common sense and brains than every one of those liberals in Olympia put together
It's sad that it's not politically expedient to support our police officers. Where are the courageous leaders that will standup and support the police in the face of political extremism on the left? Poor leadership at every level in Seattle.
What?? What?? That’s literally an extremist type of statement. I encourage you to look up the channel “lack luster” and “audit the audit”. Our current way of policing is ineffective and the war on drugs is mostly to blame. Especially in democratic areas and major cities that are the most effected. We have police that don’t even know the constitution and they are literally Sovereign citizens because of qualified immunity. I agree we need a police force but not a militarized one that doesn’t even know the laws. It’s easier to become a police officer than it is to become a mechanic. And one you have a gun. Our current and continuing system of justice is corrupt at the least and criminal at the peak. Repeat offenders who commit multiple armed violent crimes are out to wander free and addicts are forced to go to things like 90day-1 year rehabs, DUIs (victimless crime) sometimes people will get 3-5 years even when no one was hurt and they barely blew over the limit. Police get nearly endless funding and top of the line military equipment. Zero things in place to hold them accountable like mental health screens annually or physical fitness. Also, going back to your original comment. You are asking the police and government to prosecute political extremists?? By who’s standards? Yours? You are Insane woman.
They should've been out protesting the 1994 crime bill which militarised police forces nationwide ( a by product of the right wing war on America aka drugs). Fund the police but DE- Militarise them. 1994 Crime bill is left wing- neither side has represented We The People in the last 30 years. All smoke and mirrors.
We fell for this in my town back in the 2000s. The city passed some giant bond measure to rehire all the cops they lost. Guess what those cops did? They gave out speeding tickets. 1000s of them. Crime continued to get worse. Taxes went up. A city manager embezzled a bunch of the bond money and was never prosecuted. It was all bad. Don't fall for this. Get rid of your city council and DA first. Until the leadership changes, no amount of new officers will make a difference. You will just get ripped off.
@@reppinseattle7974 when the city is down like 500 officers from where they should be, and the city council will not support lateral bonuses just to be on par with neighboring departments, that's extreme. They're going to continue to lose officers and crime will get worse.
Seattle needs to vote out most of its city council, they are the root cause of the exit from SPD You are your own responder so buy a gun, get training, and defend yourself cause when seconds count police are minutes away
Not only Seattle needs guns for self-protection, but I'm afraid it's going to be nationwide. Especially if THE PEOPLE don't start voting out the communist Democratic Party. Then when they do they vote a Dem. President back into office to undo all the good a Rep. President has worked so hard to achieve. Come on people!! WAKE UP!!! Liberalism isn't working! We have neighbors who are cancelling their family vacation to Seattle because of the hog pens the streets have become and the feeling of danger by the street people and lack of safety controls. Poor vendors and small businesses. They won't recover from this mess.
This is a self created problem and one who’s job it isn’t the police departments to correct. The voters and elected officials need to reflect a major attitude change. Most likely the city / businesses / residents will need to experience even more pain before they realize the errors of their ways.
The Cap Hill voters who continue to vote for KuntShama bear a major roll in the decay city wide. They think they’re so cutting edge, while doing nothing positive.
"non-sworn officer responders" ridiculous. Countless upon countless videos of officers responding to seemingly benign 9-1-1 calls that turn life-threatening.
They know it might come down to making a choice between their literal lives or their professional lives, if they are forced to defend themselves, and they don't want to deal with that, especially for such low pay.
I work in private security down here in Texas and over these last few years, a lot of towns and city governments have actually had to hire private security companies to man and watch over certain areas in their jurisdictions so that it can free up police officers to go and patrol/respond more high risk areas...
@@samuelonishchenko3576 my people have been oppressed for 400+ years and still the modern Jim crow era is still relevant till today, the leaders of this country from politicians, to government officials all the way down to "local authorities " are corrupt. Too much innocent blood has been shed on these people's hands with no remorse for the individual's family or communities, that's impacted by these true criminals that are in office or obtain a badge So in My opinion, no they do not just automatically deserve respect, and I'm not saying theirs no good cops out their, but since my people are generalized as criminals and 2nd class citizens, even though we heavily contributed to building this country why should I give respect when the same energy is not reciprocated.
The King County Sheriff doesn’t even wear a uniform and she has one of her deputies hold her umbrella for her. Who would ever want to work for someone like that?
Hiring standards can not help but go down. All of western Washington is going down the drain for one simple reason. Liberals are letting criminals practice their trade with almost no consequences.
This summer is going to be a free fest for criminals in Seattle. Jeez, you don't defund law enforcement in a large city like this one. These suits act like the losses are acceptable. I don't blame any cop that refuses these incentives.
What's the big deal, I thought all we needed was more programs and social workers, apparently those don't work, all talk about them has been dropped !!!
Why would anyone want to be a police officer in Seattle after being treated the way they were. G8ve the people what they asked for and let it burn to the ground. If they don't like it, they can stop voting democrat
If you the people don't start thinking about what's going on you will never have that beautiful city again. It's your city, I was there in the 60's and was so awesome and now it's a sewer.
This is what they wanted. This is what they end up with. The problem is that the rest of the state and country will end up paying the bills to return order to the city after they have completely lost control of everything.
Not everyone in Seattle, but the majority did support the "defund" nonsense. I honestly feel bad for the conservative-minded people who have to live in this madness.
Somebody should tell that guy we need a little less love and a little more policing cuz I'm getting sick of running off these car Prowlers out of my neighborhood the 911 lady told me it's illegal to chase down car Prowlers and people that are going to rob your neighbors that's the state we live in
Sounds to me like they need an accountant or somebody to help them manage their funds because they don’t even know how to spend their own money that’s ridiculous it’s not even their money it’s really the peoples money that’s really crazy bro
That's why these criminal Govt thieves LOVE getting stupid people to vote for more Govt jobs. They're allowed to tax us endlessly and spend our money with a blank check!! NOBODY watches over them to see what they're doing with OUR money It's so infuriating. Bellevue is a great area because that's where RICH PEOPLE LIVE. RICH LEFTISTS make sure crime isn't happening in THEIR wealthy areas.
Left Western Washington 11 years ago. I'll never go back and when I visit Washington, I don't set foot in Seatlle. Now I live in a mountainous area, sunny 300 days per year, lakes and river everywhere, virtually no crime. Liberal cities turning into escape from New York.
Sounds to me like the city council needs to be voted out and bring in people who give a damn about the citizens. Mayor needs to go too. Maybe prosecute the bad guys instead of letting them run free. The good people need to take their cities back away from the trash
Yep if they'd stop hunting down and killing Blq and brown folks in cold blood like demon dogs they are, them we'll welcome aboard. Until then... they can all take a long walk off a short and deep Pier 😑😐
I think Seattle should disband their entire police department and replace cop's with social workers and have an honor system on all other normal police calls and then the city council should make it a civil crime for resisting a robbery.
Live on the east coast,drove long haul 44 years, started del to Seattle in the 70's, beautiful city,and people,hated watching it decline..same with new York city.watched them clean it up. I mean safe,friendly,etc,enter debasio.,in 8 years took it back to the dark side.drugs,theives,high crime rate,very sad to watch this happen 2 great cities...
Lol I called in to file a report for a kidnapped child and was waiting for 5 hours near the northgate exit of I-5 until my lawyer called me and said it’s ok to head home and we will have to go into the precinct to file it. Mind you multiple cops drove by to get Starbucks, who I asked to help me, but they said they weren’t the ones here to help and to keep waiting.
I appreciate the police officers and living in a world where there is no police officers just doesn't make any sense!! This is why I won't be visiting Seattle any time soon which is sad 😞
In 2012 I applied and interviewed with the Washington state patrol. I was also serving in the Air National Guard, prior service Active Duty. I had a TS/SCI clearance, same as the President. They told me I failed their psychological evaluation... Same psychological evaluation the Armed Services uses for security clearance. Isn't that funny? Oh, by the way, I'm 5'7" tall.
Starting a new country isn't easy. The new government runs on donation instead of taxation. Non lethal alternatives for public policing in Cascadia are in order. Lethal force by police, execution and abortion are banned across the continent now for the same reason. This is just understanding basic rights.

The issue is not the police! The issue is a lack of accountability for all criminals!
The King County Sheriff doesn’t even wear a uniform and she has one of her deputies hold her umbrella for her. Who would ever want to work for someone like that?
Hiring standards can not help but go down. All of western Washington is going down the drain for one simple reason. Liberals are letting criminals practice their trade with almost no consequences.
someone may be attempting to drive down Seattle realestate prices; nobody would do such a thing
All part of the plan people with Deep Pockets want to buy everything in the coming crash
This summer is going to be a free fest for criminals in Seattle. Jeez, you don't defund law enforcement in a large city like this one. These suits act like the losses are acceptable. I don't blame any cop that refuses these incentives.
What's the big deal, I thought all we needed was more programs and social workers, apparently those don't work, all talk about them has been dropped !!!
These "social workers" and "activists" made out like bandits with our f*cking tax dollars before they bailed tho....
Why would anyone want to be a police officer in Seattle after being treated the way they were. G8ve the people what they asked for and let it burn to the ground. If they don't like it, they can stop voting democrat
Fox 13 has done a great job reporting on this issue.
Well, a shortage of officers, that can be blamed on the Seattle's city council defunding their own protection. Real smart. NOT!
Maybe get a Mayor w a backbone.
In other words, the cops are getting their butts kicked by the people.
If I was a police officer, no way would I go near Seattle.
If you the people don't start thinking about what's going on you will never have that beautiful city again. It's your city, I was there in the 60's and was so awesome and now it's a sewer.
Why does Seattle have the city council
But then again we do live in a state where you need to be told what color to poop how high to jump and which way to walk
This is what they wanted. This is what they end up with. The problem is that the rest of the state and country will end up paying the bills to return order to the city after they have completely lost control of everything.
Don't forget Washington State Department of Corrections, insanely under staffed. Thanks Jay!
Seattle deserves this. They keep voting for this.
Not everyone in Seattle, but the majority did support the "defund" nonsense. I honestly feel bad for the conservative-minded people who have to live in this madness.
@@AC-ro6ib i don't believe conservatives live in Seattle
Vote better
Maybe hire the homeless!
Problem solved.
How about if u vote to defund move ‘em out of that area, problem solved. Eventually they will learn the carebear stare won’t work
Blm must be very proud 🥲 of themselves
I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a city with an hour response time.
Somebody should tell that guy we need a little less love and a little more policing cuz I'm getting sick of running off these car Prowlers out of my neighborhood the 911 lady told me it's illegal to chase down car Prowlers and people that are going to rob your neighbors that's the state we live in
Move. Voters broke your state. Voting matters
It's time to start taking out the trash ourselves.
Sounds to me like they need an accountant or somebody to help them manage their funds because they don’t even know how to spend their own money that’s ridiculous it’s not even their money it’s really the peoples money that’s really crazy bro
That's why these criminal Govt thieves LOVE getting stupid people to vote for more Govt jobs.
They're allowed to tax us endlessly and spend our money with a blank check!!
NOBODY watches over them to see what they're doing with OUR money
It's so infuriating.
Bellevue is a great area because that's where RICH PEOPLE LIVE.
RICH LEFTISTS make sure crime isn't happening in THEIR wealthy areas.
I called in a hit and run and was sent to non emergency and onone at the non-emergency answer 5x Seattle isn't doing shit for the people
Left Western Washington 11 years ago. I'll never go back and when I visit Washington, I don't set foot in Seatlle. Now I live in a mountainous area, sunny 300 days per year, lakes and river everywhere, virtually no crime. Liberal cities turning into escape from New York.
Sounds to me like the city council needs to be voted out and bring in people who give a damn about the citizens. Mayor needs to go too. Maybe prosecute the bad guys instead of letting them run free. The good people need to take their cities back away from the trash
If they weren't crooked maybe they would get more applicants
Yep if they'd stop hunting down and killing Blq and brown folks in cold blood like demon dogs they are, them we'll welcome aboard. Until then... they can all take a long walk off a short and deep Pier 😑😐
Kinda like getting mad at the cashier for the price tho, politics affects the police negatively for us all. And unions keep bad actors too safe.
Nobody can " make " you misbehave. If everyone at your job is stealing, does that mean you have to steal too?
This is a terrific investigative television program. Congratulations
I think Seattle should disband their entire police department and replace cop's with social workers and have an honor system on all other normal police calls and then the city council should make it a civil crime for resisting a robbery.
You should be a leader, that's one of the greatest ideas of reform ,✌🏾
Isn't this what the council wanted??? They completely DEFUNDED the police and called them MURDERERS 🙄 😒 I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD GO WRONG..LOL LOL
The problem is corruption
Lots of women, POC officers bla bla - when are you goign to learn this isnt the way
Great video
Live on the east coast,drove long haul 44 years, started del to Seattle in the 70's, beautiful city,and people,hated watching it decline..same with new York city.watched them clean it up. I mean safe,friendly,etc,enter debasio.,in 8 years took it back to the dark side.drugs,theives,high crime rate,very sad to watch this happen 2 great cities...
Shouldn't have fired all the officers over being vaxxed
Get rid of the lie detector test
Yes try to divert the conversation away from losing police to losing apologies all around BS
5 figure salary...
He said that like it was alot of money or incentive. Trash on offer for qualified canidates.
Nobody wants to work in no damn Seattle 😂😂
Best deputize thee up a posse !!!
Summer of LOVE ❤️ 😂😂😂
Lol I called in to file a report for a kidnapped child and was waiting for 5 hours near the northgate exit of I-5 until my lawyer called me and said it’s ok to head home and we will have to go into the precinct to file it. Mind you multiple cops drove by to get Starbucks, who I asked to help me, but they said they weren’t the ones here to help and to keep waiting.
Seattle PD requires applicants to be fully Covid vaccinated. What a joke.
The community must learn to take care of their own safety.
Unfortunately that doesn’t work very well. Citizens must rely on common sense, vigilance and luck.
@17:30 if that machine heats metal up to the point it changes into a gaseous state, how does the heat not destroy DNA evidence?
What about the cops that are still there, do they get all the goodies to stay !
I appreciate the police officers and living in a world where there is no police officers just doesn't make any sense!! This is why I won't be visiting Seattle any time soon which is sad 😞
Good call. Criminals get more rights than law-abiders. Nothing gets prosecuted. No bail. The city has installed revolving doors in jail cells.
The take home vehicle part is the reason not to join.
Imagine if Police Department's hired people that didn't have violent records just a few mess-ups. Wouldn't it be nice.
I love the fact that the city council members are in here saying “ we have a public safety crisis” but yet they voted to defund the police💀💀🤡🤡🤡
Any human being that signs off on working for any big blue city is insane. You will be in prison for the rest of your life. No pity for insanity
In 2012 I applied and interviewed with the Washington state patrol. I was also serving in the Air National Guard, prior service Active Duty. I had a TS/SCI clearance, same as the President. They told me I failed their psychological evaluation... Same psychological evaluation the Armed Services uses for security clearance. Isn't that funny? Oh, by the way, I'm 5'7" tall.
Oh wow 5.7 . I like short guys especially in uniform
Starting a new country isn't easy. The new government runs on donation instead of taxation. Non lethal alternatives for public policing in Cascadia are in order. Lethal force by police, execution and abortion are banned across the continent now for the same reason. This is just understanding basic rights.
So much said when you stand under unbrella while your men stands in rain. What is a sherrif again?
Low police numbers in Surrey BC a city of 700k has a high crime due to low police count!
A solid stand your ground law would reduce the need for police
What happens when you defund the police? This!
