Rantz: Defund CM Lisa Herbold smears Seattle cops cleared of wrongdoing, wants more investigation

Despite being cleared in a civilian-led investigation, one anti-police Seattle council member isn’t satisfied. Councilmember Lisa Herbold wants to punish officers for attending a political rally she disagrees with. Even worse, she’s smearing cops as extremists.
Herbold spent the last year pushing to defund the Seattle Police Department and fire white officers for the offense of having the wrong skin color. She even wanted to effectively legalize most misdemeanors committed by anyone claiming to be homeless or low-income.
Now Herbold wants more to be done after the Office of Police Accountability (OPA) found that four officers who attended the January 6 rally for President Donald Trump were cleared.
Seattle’s interim police chief on Wednesday demoted an assistant chief in connection with a skirmish with an umbrella-wielding protester that led police to declare a riot last summer.

Seattle City Councilmember Lisa Herbold’s newest experimental policy, a so-called “poverty defense,” makes her a danger to the public.
It’s not merely her policies that are dangerous and destructive that is objectively true, this newest idea being chief among them it’s that she can’t stop herself from pursuing policies that don’t merely chip away at the quality of life in Seattle. It puts businesses on the brink of destruction and our lives literally on the line.
Every day she is in office is another day we are all at risk.
