Seattle Police Exodus?

[The South Falls]

Who would arrest them? They are the police; they'd handle "anyone" else opposed all the same as well given they are, as noted, the police.

The National Guard most likely would come in at the direction of the governor.

Also, good luck getting most cops to do something that stupid.

They'd lose their jobs and livelihoods.

So like federal administrative districts? For poor cities that are unable to manage themselves properly, I could see that happening.

You can say Detroit, lol.

Basically. Detroit.

That alone is why no police department would do something so insane

[San Lumen]

Are you barking mad? I dont think that would be well received by just about anyone and any and all respect the police had would evaporate in an instant. The leadership of the department would be arrested and face criminal charges likely including sedition and conspiracy.

to be fair a decent number of folks in Washington would probably be supportive.

I don’t think they would

I doubt it. Even east of the mountains, the libertarian types would probably get spooked as hell, and west of the mountains everyone would be in an uproar. I'm quite certain the National Guard would be sent in, and I imagine the feds would probably send the army too, regardless of what they think of Seattle's policies- armed groups launching coups against duly elected municipal governments is not a good precedent.

...I didn't claim you said that, I disagreed with your premise that "a decent number of folks in Washington would probably be supportive"...?

Of course you don't.

The state government would never allow it. The governor would call in the national guard. The state police would arrest those behind it.

Nonsense, everyone outside of Seattle would be delighted at the city further tearing itself apart

Spokane is a glorified rest stop on I-90

[Thermodolia]

Of course you don't.

The state government would never allow it. The governor would call in the national guard. The state police would arrest those behind it.

And I’d support the police and arrest the governor

[The Lone Alliance]

This is a disaster, law enforcement is necessary for a civilized society. We need to repair relations between the people and police.

That's not going to be easy since saying "Fuck the police" is a great way for to get a ahead in political and racial activism these days.

And I’d support the police and arrest the governor

I mean, firstly, you'd be starting a civil war over a nonexistent issue totally unsupported by any information besides Kshama Sawant and co. saying some mean stuff pretty much, and secondly the governor would have the National Guard and the troops at Bangor and JBLM, so it'd be a pretty fuckin dumb idea

I'm pretty sure even Inslee couldn't be stupid or incompetent enough to not respond to a literal coup d'etat and mass killings in the largest and richest city in the state lol

Once again: why are we entertaining this bullshit lol

[Washington Resistance Army]

>implying Inslee would actually do something

I'm pretty sure even Inslee couldn't be stupid or incompetent enough to not respond to a literal coup d'etat and mass killings in the largest and richest city in the state lol

I dunno man, his whole MO is "do nothing" lol

Mmm yeah but I expect even he couldn't help but rise somewhat to the occasion if there were a literal coup d'etat lol

Firstly I’d revoke the 10th. Direct Rule from Washington wouldn’t be a meme. And secondly ever heard of federalizing the National Guard? And finally I’d be the fucking President, Bangor and JBLM would answer to me

I might. Especially if I end up pulling a Frank Underwood

[Greed and Death]

In the case of Seattle the Police should oust the council and rule the city directly until the people of Seattle show they are fit to handle Democracy again.
