Cops aren’t committing murder anymore, so no need to protest or attack the protestors out of bigotry.
illegals on the beat. Maybe this will make you happy, BB.
Seattle was one place where in response to the George Floyd killing and protests, the police responded militantly. The government tried to rein them in. Apparently it is still going on. From Wikipedia, some of the actions the Seattle government took.

The Seattle City council voted unanimously on June 15 to demilitarize the police department by banning the purchase and use of crowd control weapons including tear gas, pepper spray, flashbang grenades and rubber bullets. The city council also voted to prohibit the use of "choke holds" by Seattle Police. On July 24, in response to a request the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. District Judge James Robart issued a temporary restraining order, blocking the law from taking effect.
City Attorney Pete Holmes announced that the city would withdraw its request to lift a federal consent decree that had been imposed following a U.S. Department of Justice investigation in 2012.The city government also announced a 30-day ban on the use of tear gas by police on protesters in response to outcry from Capitol Hill residents who had been affected by its use. The ban did not apply to SWAT and other special officers.
The Seattle Public Schools voted on June 24 to terminate contracts with the local police departments.

At a guess, the police is still at odds with the government, which is resulting in the manpower shortage. Bringing in more minorities might actually help. Not an ideal situation, but use of excessive force by police against minorities was a problem at the time. Not as much lately, but it is apparently lingering politically.
The Seattle police force is half-manned and half the remaing police officers are over 50 and most are now filing for retirement. No one wants to be the next viral cop video. The cops I know are selling their houses, taking their pensions, and moving to Montana or Idaho with their families, far away from diversity. At least the minorities in Seattle will be safe from rogue cops... Safe from other minorities, not so much.
Seattle (SEA-TAC) is where I grew up, and Seattle has because a crime-ridden, filthy hellscape. Crime and homelessnes are off the charts. Tacoma is much worse. It wasn't like that in the 80s and 90s.
And this is Microsoft's and Amazon's HQ?
