Seattle Chief of Police resigns Due Budget Cuts

[Gawdzilla Sama]

It doesn't mean that, at any rate.  Those funds can be and are better used at taking that workload off of police entirely.  They shouldn't have to be social workers or emts.  This is one of the circumstances which lead to shootings.

It's not as if the city plans to set fire to all of the cash they claw back from their underperforming law enforcement.

The fact is that the police are out there all the time. Fire and rescue are sortied when called. So the most likely first responder is a police officer. How do you take that workload off the police? Have them ignore "Child choking" calls?
