Seattle City Council unanimously approved a resolution on Tuesday to end any Commitment to allocate funds to the police.
After George Floyd’s death in 2020, slogans and “return to police” have swept the country. However, as crimes in multiple cities across the country increase, politicians, even Democratic strongholds, are trying to distance themselves from the idea.
Last week, Rob Saka spoke with fellow Seattle City Council’s Public Safety Committee about his recent resolution 32167 in recognition of efforts to improve public safety.
The MP said at the time: “The resolution reverses any prior commitment or guarantee from the Council in the past to return or repeal the police. We know that these statements are usually made by leaving the police officers as a reason to leave. We also know that they are very divided.”
Seattle Councilman Rob Saka delivered a speech on his resolution 32167.
He made headlines again at this week’s city council meeting.
“If this passes, the ‘fine’ is going to die, that’s the title!” Saka said at a meeting on Tuesday that the city council unanimously passed the bill before the final vote.
Local news media, Everett Postthe following report said: “Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison will submit the last remaining Seattle Police Department policy to federal monitors for review.”
Saka added in a pre-vote speech: “This legislation allows us to heal together from the shameful legacy of ‘fines’ and, importantly, formally spinning toward a diverse response model that communities are so desperately needed.”
Saka recalls ironic that in 2020, when support for the “Fine Police” campaign was expressed in 2020, there were no black members at the time.

“I didn’t benefit from it,” he said. “The communities I didn’t benefit from. It hurts all communities!”
He reiterated his point and declared, “As a black man, I would say, look, black and brown communities, we don’t need white saviors.”

It is said that the black community has the ability to speak for itself and Not a boulder, Saka argued that the commitment to “the specific voice and specific voices and specific opinions of Seattle’s Black community” was made after Seattle picked out specific voices and specific opinions and regarded them as “views.”
“No.” “That’s not, it’s not true now.”
