...it was the same way back in the sixties. An Old Vet told me that as a cop you will never get fired for not doing yer job but you will likely get fired and put in jail if you try to do it too well.

Re: "the COPS ARE TOLD TO STAND DOWN, that i KNEW BUT WOW...................."Exactly. The problem isn't homelessness. It's drugs - and a justice system that won't enforce the laws. The police arrest, but everyone they arrest is immediately released. They've got people wandering around who have been arrested forty times or more. The police know them by name! After a while, the police give up and stop arresting them. One said that as a policeman, he used to be proud of the good he was doing. Now he's doing nothing, just killing time until retirement.

For me, the most poignant part of the entire video is the city council meeting where the politicians tell outraged Seattle residents that they need to call the police about the things they've described. The residents angrily respond that they've done that and the police have told them they need to get rid of the city council.
