Will Obama-Era Consent Decree Give Trump DoJ The Last Word On Seattle’s Police Cuts?
For the past eight years Seattle police have had to answer to federal authorities on many major policy moves. The city is accountable to federal monitors under the consent decree. This latest round of police budget cuts could meet that same scrutiny. …
The concern is that deep reductions in the police department budget could make it impossible for the city to fulfill its obligations under the agreement is struck with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said the council’s defunding strategy could compromise the consent decree, especially if it involves cuts to training, data performance, transparency or the number of supervisors overseeing officers.
This is a lesson.
Politicians come up with cute; either packing the court for 'Make shit up' or consent decrees or executive orders. Then the other side does it and none of the politicians ever get the clue. The young kids who see this cannot make heads nor tails out of the jammed up system.
Connect the dots, do not be some stupid pundit.
