The Seattle City Council approves the bill to end the support of “Defund the Police”
The Seattle municipal council unanimously approved a resolution on Tuesday to end any Commitments to reject the police.
After the death of George Floyd in 2020, the slogan and the movement to “divert the police” swept the country. Yet, in the wake of a denounced increase in crime in several cities throughout the country, politicians, even in the strongholds of the Democratic Party, have tried to distance themselves from the idea.
Last week, Rob Saka spoke with other members of the Public Security Committee of the Seattle City Council of his resolution 32167 recently introduced, to recognize the work to improve public safety.
The Council said at the time: “This resolution reverses any prior commitment or commitment by the previous councils to distinguish or abolish the police. We know that these statements have been usually cited by the birth departure by the police personnel as a reason to start. We also know that they are very divisive”.
Rob Saka, member of the Seattle Council, held a speech on his resolution 32167.
He made news again at the city council meeting this week.
“‘Defund’ died if this passes, this is the title!” Saka told Tuesday’s meeting just before the final vote in which the bill was unanimously approved by the City Council.

“This legislation allows us to heal collectively from the shameful inheritance of” Defund “and, above all, officially rotate towards a diversified response model that the communities have so desperately needed,” added Saka in his speech before the vote.
Saka recalled the irony of how the advice that expressed support for the “Defund the police” movement in 2020 had not had black members at that moment.

“Ironically, at that time those commitments and commitments of” deceives “in the city of Seattle, there were zero, zero black or African American, the members of African consultancy that served in the Council at that moment,” he said, deriding the idea that these commitments were made in the best interest of American blacks like him.
“I didn’t benefit from it,” he said. “No community with whom I am well involved.
He reiterated his point and declared: “Like a black man, I will say, look, the black and brown communities, we do not need white saviors”.

After saying that the black community is able to speak alone e not a monolith, Saka claimed that the commitment to the “Defund the Police” movement had been done after “people chose specific voices and specific perspectives of our black community here in Seattle and supported him as” the perspective “.”
“It is not,” he said. “It wasn’t then, it’s not true now.”
