Today, 9:30am the Seattle City Council Governance Committee will be "debating" two wildly unpopular ideas:
$50k hiring bonuses for cops who transfer to SPD.
And more high tech surveillance toys for SPD to spy on already over policed neighborhoods.

It sounds like at least one person was trespassed and removed from the chambers. The cops have left.
The council members have brought the meeting back to session. Immediately, another activist stands up and begins protesting the councils excessive use of police and their bullshit yes votes on the bill.
The bill was then voted on and passed the committee.
Another protester stands up....
The demonstrators at city hall ask you to please take action and sign the Strippers Are Workers (SAW) letter to the city council opposing Seattle's stop and frisk laws.
Seattle previously had laws like this, and big surprise they were used against Black Americans, other people of color and queer+trans people at an alarming rate.

Tell City Council: Don't Bring Back Prejudiced Stop & Frisk Law + Ban People from 7-Mile Stretch of Town

I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council.
During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town.
CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment.
