. . .City residents turned out in droves for a “Back the Blue” rally outside city hall ahead of a major vote on Monday that would take funding away from the city’s police department.

Seattle resident John Balph, who said that police reforms are needed and called Black Lives Matter “a very worthy movement,” said that defunding the police department is a “haphazard” prospect.
“There’s bad enough news from the White House and Trump,” Balph told the Seattle Times. “But it’s depressing to live in Seattle right now.”
“Is this the city the council wants to represent, a deserted city?” he continued. “It’s not the Seattle I want to live in. But average citizens can’t do anything about it. It’s very frustrating.” (Read more from “Silent Majority Roars in Seattle: Massive Pro-Police Rally Held Ahead of Defund the Police Vote” HERE)
