Seattle considers banning police and replacing them with civilian ‘experts’ in gender and anti-racism issues

Seattle’s city council is considering abolishing the police department for good, replacing it with a “community-led” safety prevention program despite rising crime taking place across the United States, according to internal documents obtained by Christopher Rufo.

The rationale behind this move is that Seattle police officers, according to some members of the City Council, “perpetuate racism and violence” and uphold “white supremacy culture.”

Moves to defund or significantly adjust police forces away from core duties is already have a knock-down effect across the country. For example, after Mayor Bill de Blasio removed over 600 undercover anti-crime officers following Black Lives Matter protests, shootings have surged 120 percent this year.

Even the surge in anti-police rhetoric is being tied to rising crime across the country, with talks of “abolishing” the police the most radical form of this rhetoric.

The Seattle City Council proposes to provide financial support to the civilian-led non-profit Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention.

According to the proposal, police officers would be replaced by “community-led activities” and organizations focused on “housing, food security, and other basic needs” as well as “culturally-relevant expertise.” The draft was posted on the website of Christopher Rufo, Director of Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty.

The condition for gaining funding is that applicants are “well-versed in de-escalation skills” along with “trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis.”

It is not entirely clear when the proposal will be submitted for voting, but according to media in the U.S., most city legislators have already promised their support. However, attempts to defund the police by 50 percent in Seattle have already run into roadblocks.

Seattle has already had an experience without police when the CHAZ/CHOP autonomous zone in Capitol Hill in Seattle began out of response to George Floyd protests. After police withdrew from the area, crime quickly rose and three individuals were shot and killed, including two black male teenagers. Although city government officials initially lent their support to the autonomous zone, rising crime led them to close it down and ask protesters to disband.

Now, Seattle may be implementing a city-wide abolishment of police that may serious repercussions for the citizens of the city for years to come.

Sweden: Somali rammed group after he was reported for child molestation

The Somali taxi driver in the Swedish town of Borlänge who ran down a group of pedestrians recently, wanted to take revenge on his intended victim because the person had reported him for child molestation.

The immigrant driver is in custody after ramming into pedestrians in Borlänge – he deliberately drove into five people. The criminal classifications of his act are an attempted murder as well as four cases of aggravated assault. The Somali has previously been convicted of violence against an official at a social services office, because he did receive a grant that he thought he was entitled to.

On Friday, July 25, after the Somali drove into a crowd in central Borlänge, five people were more or less seriously injured and had to be taken to hospital.

The police believe that it was not a terrorist act, but that the driver intentionally tried to use the taxi as a weapon against one of the people in the group. That he also drove over other people appears not to have been a problem for him.

The taxi driver, who is a Somali citizen, was quickly arrested by the police, and on Tuesday, July 28, and prosecutor Eva-Lena Jansson requested that he be detained. According to information from Aftonbladet, the Somali taxi driver wanted revenge on a man for reporting him for sexual harassment of a teenage girl.

At first, prosecutor Eva-Lena Jansson did not want to comment to any media on Aftonbladet’s information, but in the press release in which she announced the arrest decision, she confirmed that the Somali had an ongoing conflict with one of the victims. Swedish weekly Nya Tider contacted her about the latest revelations about the motive for the act, but she refused to comment.

Jansson said that she had not yet had time to decide whether to request the suspect’s deportation. “Oh oh oh, I have not come that far yet. It has not even entered in my mind actually.”

The Somali citizen has already served time for other crimes. In 2014, he visited a social services office to apply for income support. It was 10 minutes before closing time and he was therefore told that he could not get help that day, but he refused to accept it. The staff perceived the Somali as threatening and called the police, who sent a patrol with two female police officers.

They tried to explain that the office would close and that he was allowed to return after the weekend, but the Somali refused to leave. When the police tried to oust him, he attacked them violently. The two female officers lost control of the situation. Only when reinforcement in the shape of a male colleague was called in, the Somali calmed down.

When asked if he did not respect female police officers, he tried to pretend that he did not understand that the two women were police officers. The district court dismissed his lie, and sentenced him to a fine of SEK 2 000 for violent resistance against an official.

Germany: Libyan does not want to leave the tram at the terminus and threatens to kill the driver

According to the police, the 37-year-old had boarded a tram of line 5 at the Robert Siewert- Straße stop in Chemnitz on Saturday evening. The tram was on its way to the Krenkelstraße depot.

“Since the ride ended there, the tram driver asked the man at the Scheffelstraße stop to leave the tram,” said a police spokeswoman.

But the 37-year-old did not want to do this, he insulted the 52-year-old driver and approached him.

“He probably had a cable in his hand, which he used to bang on the closed door of the driver’s cab, causing minor property damage.”

The 37-year-old finally got out of the car, but verbally threatened the driver with death and made appropriate gestures.

The police were able to arrest the suspect shortly afterwards in Annaberger Street. Investigations against the Libyan were started for threat and damage to property.

Cancel culture is Stalinism. Ask Mike Adams

by Giulio Meotti

“A friend of mine died this week and people across the country celebrated his death”, wrote David A. French, a well-known conservative columnist at the National Review.Mike S. Adams shot himself. A friend had called 911 saying that the 55-year-old professor was “very stressed” and hadn’t been around for days. Adams, who was a professor of criminology at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, had been forced to resign as of August 1, following two student petitions asking for his expulsion for posting “offensive” comments on social media.The University had denounced his words as “unjustifiable”, while the petitions grinded 88,000 signatures and the entrance to the faculty was dominated by a rock with the words “Fire Mike Adams”. On May 28, in the wake of protests for George Floyd, the professor had written: “Do not close the universities. Close non-essential majors. Like women studies”.

When university chancellor Jose Sartarelli announced that Adams would be leaving on August 1, the professor replied with a tweet: “Many young people are depressed because they have been taught to feel constantly offended.”

Referring to the protests of the Black Lives Matter movement, Adams wrote: “The violent outrage of white liberals taking to the streets is brought to you by your local university. None of this would be possible without the encouragement of academic extremists who have hijacked the system of higher education.”

He seemed to love controversy, from attacks on abortion (his last tweet before death) to criticism of LGBT groups, so much so that he became a hero of Rush Limbaugh’s conservative America.

Adams repeatedly targeted students, as when he wrote an article that read: “If your cell phone goes off in class or you are late to class,” where he instructs students, “you must write a 2,500-word paper (minimum) entitled ‘The Death of Civility at the Postmodern University.’ . . . You will receive no other credit for completing this project, except, of course, for its positive impact upon your character.”

He had published numerous books, most recently “Letters to a Young Progressive: How to Avoid Wasting Your Life Protesting Things You Don’t Understand”, for the conservative publishing house Regnery.

Local movie stars, such as Orlando Jones, and teachers from other universities, including 270 criminologists, had also mobilized in support of his expulsion. “2020 success, having survived Mike Adams”, people tweeted after his suicide.

World-famous Swedish opera singer Anne Sofie von Otter blamed MeToo’s campaign for the suicide of her husband, Benny Fredriksson: “You can break a person”, said Von Otter.

Mike Adams had also been properly and viciously broken. And too many, perhaps, were looking forward to his self-cancellation.

We have seen this phenomenon before. Where? In Moscow in 1937. Because cancel culture is pure Stalinism.
