After budget cuts and months of Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioting, Seattle’s Police Chief indicated Wednesday that nearly 20 percent of the city’s police officers have left in the past year and a half. . . .

Following the death of George Floyd, protests and riots erupted in Seattle. Amid radicals looting and attacking police, Seattle’s homicide rate spiked to a 26-year high. Nonetheless, the Seattle council attempted to slash the police department’s budget once more, but to no avail. During the particular uptick in crime, the number of deployable officers in the left-wing stronghold was about 1,200. This is the lowest since 1990.
Jason Rantz, a Seattle-based talk show host on KTTH Radio and a frequent guest on Fox News, told The Federalist that “the numbers you’re getting only tell a small part of the picture.” . . .
Diaz was asked by CBS whether the number of officers leaving the force is concerning, to which he said, “It does because we saw our shootings go up. We saw our homicides go up.” Indeed, there was a 61 percent spike in murders in 2020 from a year prior. In a memorandum on Jan. 11, Diaz acknowledged the tremendous spike.
Carmen Best, the former Police Chief, left the force after 28 years in March. She announced her decision in August 2020 as a protest against the $3 million worth of funding that the city slashed. 100 officers were either laid off or could not keep working at the department after the budget cut.
“We will hit close to or exceed 300 separations by the end of this month since the crisis accelerated last year. This is unheard of. Consequently, you have extremely low staffing numbers in this city, at times below minimal staffing numbers,” Rantz told The Federalist. . . .
From Minneapolis, New York City, Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles — far-left Democrats have stripped jobs from officers and harmed communities more susceptible to have rioting and looting.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for loving us and we can cast all our cares on You! You are Good and All-powerful and Holy. You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. You are in control and You reign forever and forever.
I ask You Lord to watch over our law-enforcement heroes. They are your agents for good. Oh, Lord, Bless them in every way, mind, body and spirit, and in their relationships and their finances. May they call on You and feel Your presence and love and know You are their Helper.
Give them Your peace and grace and comfort. Their jobs are so stressful Lord, Enable and strengthen them and give them wisdom, discernment, clarity, and courage to do the right thing. May Your angel armies surround them and keep them from all harm. Please Protect their families also. May our leaders value them and not defund them but honor them for their service. I ask this in the Precious Almighty name of JESUS!💕🙏
There is a spirit of lawlessness in this nation that is evil! As Christians, we have to stand with our police officers and pray for them, like never before. Father, please let each one of these officers know they are appreciated, and we ask you to supply every need they have. Let them sense our prayers and feel Your peace. Guide them, in every decision they make. Thank you for every sacrifice they have made on our behalf. Make a way for them, where there seems to be no way. Help us to see that no nation can survive where there is such division and lawlessness. Help us to turn, in repentance, to you, our only hope, in Jesus name.
AMEN, Pauline!
Thank You for your prayer. I agree! Lord guide them and make a way for them. 🙏
