Watched this tonight also.
After the story about a drive by shooting with a preschool as a backstop. Here's a crazy idea, Seattle. What if you tried sending criminals to prison for significant amounts of time?

They state that they're targeting a particular demographic. We'll see how long that lasts.

"Locally, much of the work occurs under a program called the Regional Peacekeepers Collective. It involves a network of community groups, coordinated and funded partly by the county, that works to connect with those seen as most likely to perpetrate gun violence, especially those who have been victims themselves. They try to intercept those people, in large part young men of color, to link them to education, jobs and services as a means to forestall violence."

Your tax money taken from you to use against you...

Exactly, and not very imaginative considering it sounds almost exactly like what the feds just instated via executive branch.

None of these would-be king gun grabbers have an original thought in their head.

 

[tkdguy]

And the research that supports their intervention is where?

 

[RobMa]

Don't you know? they don't need research, all they need is the mantra "gun violence" and whatever the shills at the state news media tells them.

 

[Stomper]

It'll go something like this billboard in downtown Portland says…..

Silly politicians. They wouldn't need funding if they would just eliminate the police force and transfer the funds. No common sense at all. They must be some of the stupidest people ever to be pushed out of a uterus.

The important thing is they're disappearing all monies into cronies pockets so it's OK.

Again, another money grab. I didn't read about any solutions or a hard line against crime. Nothing about attacking organized crime or gangs. Arresting repeat offenders, ect.

How many new SUVs will they be allocated for the special team? They showed the statistics and the main location. I'd rather read about arrests than millions in funding.

tax money taken and used against you by your "betters"

Like the road tolls that ODOT is working on.

They'll hold a few drum-circles, conduct some poetry and "street art" (aka graffiti) contests, and afterwards hand out some cookies…. Then buy $5M homes.

You mean removing violent, repeat offending criminals from the ability to possess firearms (that they are already not allowed to possess? Naaaa, that would make sense. Can't have that. Let's try the drum circles noted by @Stomper first (that will give them time to funnel the money to their friend's NGOs).

They really don't want the problem solved, they want to showcase their unicorns and rainbows projects.

500k in the Seattle metro area won't get you a 500sqft tiny home on a post card lot.

Well, like the BLM blueprint. They don't spend the money in the same community. More likely to buy 50 acres in Montana.
