Afraid,
thank you
good to see you.
Thank you.
As we discussed,
violence in the city of Seattle
has escalated.
It has been going on for months.
Eighteen people were arrested in the
police union building,
several police officers were
injured.
Some officers are tired of being
used for target practice and
they have had enough
watch.
Not really.
You are wrong.
Sorry for that,
dont worry man,
guess what
im leaving
two months baby
im out,
you are going to resign
yeah bro!
You are about to resign.
I am leaving this department
here. You guys won,
so it turns out
you dont need to defund the
police. Once you put people like
people who run Seattle in
charge, the
police just run on their own.
No normal person would take that
job. At this point
we are happy to have him on
tonight,
Jason. What is the state of
Seattle tonight if you can sum
it up for us?
Well, there is the sad irony
that you just mentioned
about to fire one hundred police
officers, but so many are leaving
on their own.
There have been well over one hundred
applications that have gone over
to different agencies because
they dont want to work for the
City of Seattle, a city that
despises them city that made
attacking police officers a
sport
they dont feel supported by the
community.
There are a lot of people who
have stepped up to support them,
but ultimately, a lot of these
activists are speaking louder.
We are pretending still that
these are protests
im. Sorry, these are no longer
protests.
They have not been protests for
several weeks.
They go out there with the
intent of harming these police
officers.
They show up with bats.
They show up with fireworks with
the intent of doing damage.
They are not showing up to
protest for some social justice
cause
thats, not what they are doing.
What I find interesting in all
of this is forty five minutes. From now
Joe Biden, starting with the
Dnc, you are going to get a
whole bunch of speeches,
and Joe Biden has made a
campaign about the soul of the
nation is on the line.
I think hes one hundred percent correct
what is happening in Seattle,
Portland Chicago the soul of
the nation, is on the line
hes. Just on the wrong side of
this,
you have democratic leaders who
are unwilling to call out this
violence.
Some of them completely ignore
it
unfortunatelyhopefully some Peop
up
its not going to
get better. If you dont stop it
really quick ive got to think
there are a lot of normal people
in Seattle. Normal Democrats
were reaching the limit of their
tolerance of this.
You would like to think that,
and I am hoping that, with the
chief of police, the first
police chief stepping aside
because of her treatment, you
would think it would embarrass
the city
we will find out in the coming
weeks, but as of right now, I
dont see that happening, because
not enough people are stepping
up,
I feel like they are also all Te
Mark too. Scared to
people are on your side.
Enough is enough.
We are going to lose Seattle if
people dont step up.
