"The Seattle City Council is considering yet another budget cut to the Seattle Police Department a move that I suppose we should not find surprising. It's a preemptive cut of over dollars. This, of course, on top of what was previously cut, and of course, it has implications. Joining me on the line is interim police chief Adrian Diaz. Ideas. Welcome back to the show. Welcome. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate you taking the time. So what is the $5.4 Million cut mean in terms of public safety? Yeah. You know, we have had, you know some cuts last year. At the end of their session, Another $2 million and some of the other additional cuts that they have This 5.4 million is just One of those things that we're trying to just kind of stabilize our efforts and our hiring efforts. We have some other crude costs that come up. We have You know, we've had a lot of people leave our department. So we had to pay additional money out in separation pay. We've had people because we have Ah, younger workforce, eh? So we've had people that go out on pay parental leave. And so this is some of that money that you know can you know, cover those costs, But we've also had, you know, we really tried to focus our efforts because we've lost a lot of sworn officers. Hiring additional civilian positions that conduce you of riot different works from CSOs, our community service officers, crime prevention coordinators. And you know that you know another additional cut with a lot wouldn't Wouldn't allow us to be able to hire for some of those civilian positions that are so desperately needed. So they've also effectively cut your overtime budget. So how does that work? Because you've got a dwindling for she lost What? 197 police officers last year I'm told that the numbers are still going down. You lost about 20 this month. I don't know if that's been confirmed yet, but you know you've had to use over time as a result of that, of course. Also you had a lot of instances of unrest that you were staffing. So what exactly is the plan this year? Yeah. You know, we've we've actually had to make some obviously some some adjustments. You know, when I moved 100 officers back into patrol we created during that same time we created a community response group. That has been able to handle 911 calls but also be able to, you know, work and deal with the demonstrations, some that direct action that has been occurring for the last several months. And that has helped us out immensely having a group or squad or units that are able to, um Be able to respond to that direct action that is actually limit that's actually pared down some of our overtime. But as we see more people leave the department. You do have to figure out ways that you can have personnel, you know, sure that up, and that means that you know if we have this level of direct action occurring, you know, luckily not on a nightly basis, but it's been enough. Where it impacts our ability to go out and do proactive public safety on destroying to recover guns off the street because we've had an all time high when it came to about an all time high, but 28 year high Yes. You know, we've tracked. You know our shots fired. Going up are you know homicides going up and so we've got to figure out how do we get? Our resource is back into just doing police work so we can Get some of these guns off the street when part of the issue is and you know you made a point to discuss this over the weekend is you'll make arrest. Your officers will make arrest and then nothing really happens. And so you kind of got a little bit of Ah, potential fight brewing with Pete Holmes, Seattle City attorney. You announced this new policy that he will actually prosecute the vandalism by some of these anti for groups and other agitators. His office has since come out and said, there's no new policy. It sounds like someone's playing a game of semantics here. So what was your conversation with him like between inauguration night violence that that broke out which you indicated? That's when the conversations started to happen? At least and your press conference? What was the conversation? So you know, I'm not going to speak for homes. What I can say is that e think we can all agree that the actions of the direct direct action of these groups that have you know Been breaking windows and created property damage and assaulting, you know, people, there's no tolerance for it. Um And I do think that you know Pete Holmes had mentioned they not gonna prosecute peaceful protesters. We don't arrest people protest. Yeah, Exact. That is not what our focus is. You know, our focus is literally trying to make sure that people that are committed to property damage. Uh, that we address those issues, you know, right away, and and so you know, and we've we've taken you know some different approaches over the last several Uh, months to try and reduce the confrontation between our officers Because direct action. People are looking for that confrontation. And so you know, we've we've taken a different stands on it. And actually Wednesday, the Wednesday case on Inauguration day he did charge and so I'm grateful for that. We have to put good cases you know, together and making sure that officers when they do arrest somebody. They have all the elements of the crime and and I will keep on pushing that our officers need to go out and do their job and making arrests in and try to Fine cases. And then I'll work with Pete Holmes on a case by case basis of making sure people are held

Lately. It's really been a lot of the other property damage kind of stuff for many months now, So so we'll see. Those were the people that I don't think you could hear it in that sound bite. But they said, they're going to really step things up here in the new year and get their message out to police that they want to You know, they want fewer police on the force they want, You know better, better rules as far as the kind of weapons and armor and all of that kind of things that they used so all of that, I think will still here moving into the new year. We've had judges making decisions on the kind of weapons that could be used right? And the City Council has voted on staffing. I believe right, So I mean, what's the next issue? They're gonna take up? Well, there's still more budgeting issues that are going to have to come out. The bulk of what's gonna happen in the budget is going to be in the next year, not so much as what they've done already, as far as what the City Council has done on the Seattle police force numbers and you know already there's I think 200 officers left the force last year, so they're at a deficit that will work itself out. And then there's far as the judge and what crowd control weapons can be used. That has been dealt with to a certain degree in one court case, the ultimate showdown for this is going to come to The consent decree courtroom that should play out here over the next several months as the city deals with its new monitoring team and gets back to the courtroom in that judge's chambers to figure out what the final say is going to be on what the new rules are going to be for the Seattle police Department, how they can get out from under the consent decree, But there's more than that. To those who are out on the street. They want different interactions. Was a lot of legislation in Olympia about completely reforming the way the police not just in Seattle, but in the entire state are going to do business when it comes to interacting with people in general. Well, we tell my dad I mean, you and high before the rape went over that court decree and as far as I could tell, I mean, I read through that thing they went through. They went through. It happened but what Three of those demonstrations basically frame by frame. And, you know, decided what kinds of police responses were appropriate and what we're not as far as this destruction thing, which apparently continued to go on. How does that help? Anything as far as like religious turns people against the whole movie, and it really doesn't help anything. And in fact, one of the businesses that got damaged damaged is a coffee shop there right up the street from Cal Anderson Park great guy who's been throughout the entire chop All of that. Was very kind of supportive to those who were involved in those protests and his place got smashed up here in one of the new year's protests, and he said it's because he signed one of the letters back when they cleared out Carol Anderson Park. Right before we went on break that he was one of several business owners that had signed on to a message letter to the Seattle Mayor and City council, saying, Please do something about this. It's not safe here, and what they're are talking about was providing that letter was meant to say, Provide more shelter. Do something, so these people don't have to live in the park. But these protesters seem to take it as Them being against the homeless, So they're now just targeting all those business owners and he was very upset by that and invited, he said. I would be welcome to have everybody that the homeless people the city, let's come and sit in my coffee shop and talk this out and find a better way because this is not the better way. Wow shouldn't shouldn't a serious demonstrators be policing that because it's ruining their movements? Far as I'm concerned, you should support. I mean, what What? What? What motivates anybody in the neighborhood to support what they're doing? If the thanks they get is the destruction of their business. And I don't and I agree with you, 100% and I, There's no As far as I can tell the protesters who were out there talking about police reform and black lives matter. They don't necessarily always interact with those other groups who are doing a lot of this damage. And sometimes those groups mix, though, too, so it's there's just nobody really doing that policing. There are some community activists, though, who are involved involved in some of the community police reform efforts that have been ongoing prior to protest who are speaking out against those who do this damage to say that They're angry and they're upset about them. Co opting the black lives matter messaging and were upset that until really, just the sound bites. I've just played for you. You hadn't heard George Floyd name or Brianna Taylor's name and the police, you know killings that there was no longer being the messaging anymore. So they're upset that that message has been talking. But nobody telling those people not To going out and actively stopping those people from doing that damage. Scott. Thank you, Hannah Back 13.

"Heading of no limiting principle when it comes to spending money. Or, uh, creating permissive laws. This one's of Butte. This is from the People's Republic of Seattle. Uh, you remember Seattle with all the ant if a riot riots and Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, This is in the hyper progressive northwest of the United States. And these two population centers, these two cities, a city councils and mayors, along with governors at the state level that are they're all Bernie Brose when it comes to ideology. Here's a bill that they've been discussing. I don't know if it's passed yet or if it's been defeated yet, but they want to pass a law. That will allow thieves. To sell items they've stolen. If they do it to earn money for basic needs, with no legal consequences. No criminal law consequences not for the theft or selling stolen goods. Also trespassers. And set up camps on private property. Not on sidewalks now. Private property like your backyard, for example, when it is to obtain adequate cell choose shelter. And any trespassing laws that would affect those people wouldn't apply. Dozens of other crimes, including assault and harassment, would be excused under this idiotic measure if suspects were poor, mentally ill or addicted to drugs. So if you're if you're not addicted Tonto drugs and you're not poor enough on you can't get certification of your mentally ill. All you have to do qualify has become addicted to drugs, and then you can go steal and trespassed at will. They're calling it the poverty defense. And it will allow municipal court judges to dismiss a multitude of crimes if poverty, mental illness or substance abuse disorders drove the perpetrator to commit. Them. The force behind this is a radical left wing organization called de Criminalized Seattle that opposes policing and the entire criminal legal system. That group is also called for defunding the Seattle police Department by at least 50% and reallocating the funds to community led health and safety systems. It also demands release of protesters arrested during recent violent uprisings without charges. Even if they set fires to police car destroyed public or private property. An organizer with the decriminalized Seattle outfit. Identified is one of the laws, catalysts says. What we've already known is that the misdemeanor system is basically assistant of cycling people in poverty through municipal court over and over again without meeting their basic needs. Remember
