Brickbat: We Will Get to Them Eventually

Citing manpower shortages, an internal memo sent to interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz revealed the department stopped assigning detectives to new sexual assault cases involving adult victims in April. The department's sexual assault unit is prioritizing cases with child victims and cases where a suspect is already in custody. The department began 2020 with 1,290 officers. As of March 2022, it had 968. And officials said many of its patrol officers are kept busy responding to calls at homeless camps.

If only rapists were competition for pharmaceutical companies there might be federal grant money for this.

Vote for defund the police, get less police.

The cops are too busy investigating imaginary voter fraud, thanks to the Big Lie of Trump and TrumpTurds!

[Jerry B.]

Nah. The Democrats in Congress have a monopoly on that, so they can hold continuous hearings and don't have to do any actual work.

If you're in a Blue city, get out now. It's going to get much worse.

I gave them the answer yesterday:
Outlaw cars, and give each homeless person a tent and a parking space to live in. No more homelessness.
Then put both of the cops that frees up onto the rape cases.

Sounds like the people of Seattle are getting exactly what they demanded out of policing given their policy preferences.

[Brandybuck]

Again, what could be one of the wealthiest cities on the west coast can't even afford basic policing. San Francisco should pay attention.

Old news. Rape is so 2021.

[Dillinger]

rapists not the type of tourists you're looking for, Seattle.

This is the classic scam for more funding. I imagine there are a few minor infractions below sexual assault that could be ignored by law enforcement first. Unfortunately publicly ignoring them doesn't generate the same shower of taxpayer money.

If you rape a homeless person, will they come after you because they are already on site investigating other crime?
