Seattle Chief of Police resigns Due Budget Cuts

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Here’s another one. The SPD covers about 143 square miles with about 1400 sworn officers. The proposed budget cuts will reduce that to about 1300.

This means that instead of a little less than ten cops per square mile, they’ll have a little more than nine.

Armageddon just waiting to happen.

The US seems to have infinite police. You are certainly much more heavly policed than a normal country.
