The understaffed and depleted Seattle Police Department may be unprepared for potential mass civil unrest that may erupt as a result of a Trump victory in Tuesday’s Presidential election.
The Washington city has only 1,200 deployable police officers available as of Tuesday, the lowest number of personnel Seattle has had since 1990. 118 Seattle police officers have left the force in 2020, following a summer which saw organized ANTIFA violent crime and rioting- coupled with distrust from city residents towards police and initiatives to limit their use of crowd control tools as the militant leftist movement runs wild.
Even Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best resigned as a result of the contentious relationship between Seattle’s city’s council and police. Before her resignation, Best was one of the first black women to serve as chief of a major American city’s police departments.
