Seattle Councilwoman Calls Police She Wants Defunded For Crime She Wants Legalized, Because Hypocrisy

Seattle is the hairy, unwashed, feminist, natural-deodorant armpit of America. I apologize to any conservatives who live there. Your town sucks.

Any time Seattle makes the news you can only laugh, hang your head, or stare with befuddlement. There’s nothing else coming from that area but policy decisions that range from hypocritically stupid to actual disasters. I’m pretty impressed that the latest news is a combination of both.

Seattle City Councilwoman and social justice warrior extraordinaire, Lisa Herbold, is at the center of the latest stupidity and I wouldn’t be more amused even if Liberals decided to remake Santa as a vegan and suggest we leave him coconut water and alfalfa sprouts instead of cookies and milk.

Here’s the background. Lisa Herbold has been at the center of Seattle City Council’s push to defund the police department. They were aiming to cut the police department’s budget by 50%, but they finally settled on 20%, the second-highest amount in the country.

Seattle is up against some pretty tough competition for Dumbest Democrat-controlled Area. In Los Angeles, the police department is dissolving its sexual assault unit after city leaders decided to reduce the agency’s budget by $150 million. Because safety y’all. Portland’s city council just barely voted down $18 million in cuts that would have resulted in officer layoffs. Herbold had the perfect solution for people who questioned how laying off officers would affect the Seattle department. Simply only fire white people, duh. Since all of the new diversity hires would be the first to go if budget cuts were to result in layoffs, Lisa Herbold suggests that we skip right over the newest members of the police department and only fire white officers, regardless of skill or experience. Boom, diversity. Yay!

If you’re like, “Wow, she’s dumb…” it gets better!

Lisa Herbold recently proposed legislation that would excuse misdemeanor crimes committed by individuals who suffer from mental illness, addiction (it doesn’t have to be diagnosed, you just have to like, feel addicted), poverty, or crimes committed due to need. They LEGIT said, “If a defendant argued they stole merchandise to sell for cash in order to purchase food, clothes” they would not be convicted. Color me flat-out stupid, but isn’t that what MOST criminals DO with stolen merchandise?

So essentially Lisa supports defunding the police department to the point of barely functioning, supplementing some police department responses with social workers, and making misdemeanor crimes totally legal.

Which is absolutely hilarious considering that on Friday someone threw a rock through her living room window, and do you know what Lisa did? I bet you can guess what Lisa did. Lisa called the police that she wants defunded for a crime that she wants legalized. And, rumor has it, she didn’t even ask for a minority officer to be on her response team. The nerve, Lisa.

You’re supposed to ask him if his addiction made him throw that rock. Maybe he needed something in your house more than you did–did you ever think about that, Lisa? It’s the holiday season and he might have needed to steal your TV to watch Christmas movies or sell it to buy new sneakers, but all you care about is yourself. No one likes a Grinch on Christmas, Lisa. What if he charged the police with a knife and got shot? Then we’d have to organize protests and get t-shirts made with his face on them. Shipping is slow during the holidays, we’d never get those shirts in time, and CHAZ 2.0 is still being built. There isn’t time to rage AND construct an autonomous zone that survives independently on public utilities and private donations, Lisa.

I hope Lisa seriously takes the time to consider what she’s done. Maybe she’ll be a little less selfish next time and think about what’s best for the criminals, just like she suggests with all of the policies she’s pushing. Put the phone down and learn to dodge those rocks, Lisa. You asked for it.
