Posted by Mike LaChance on July 16, 2022 26 Comments

When it comes to stupid policy ideas pushed by the left, 'defund the police' belongs in a hall of fame somewhere. In Seattle, a city that has never heard a progressive idea it didn't immediately embrace, they're now trying to revitalize the police department they defunded.
