The money they cut from police budgets starting in 2020?
The council said it had a cunning plan to use that money to provide social services that would turn Seattle into a crime-free utopian dreamland...
Looks like they finally admitted that their dream is actually a nightmare.

Such as, how much was cut from the police budget starting in 2020, where was that money reallocated, how many officers left the force because of the cuts and, finally, how much money is being restored?
Also, what's the response from the city council, especially Kshama Sawant, who pushed hard not just for defunding, but complete abolition, of the police department.
