Seattle councilmember Rob Saka introduced a resolution to completely cut ties with any commitments to defund the police.

After the murder of unarmed Minneapolis resident George Floyd in 2020, the slogan and movement to "Defund the Police" swept the country. Yet in the wake of a reported rise in crime in multiple cities across the country, politicians, even in Democratic Party strongholds, have sought to distance themselves from the idea.

Across the United States, recent political protests have taken the form of violence against the car company Tesla – whose CEO Elon Musk is advising the Trump administration in its efforts to radically downsize the federal government.

People have vandalized Tesla charging stations and dealerships, fired bullets into one Oregon showroom, and set cars ablaze this week at a Las Vegas Tesla collision center.

Complaints about parked cars blocking fire hydrants have more than doubled since the start of the pandemic — with critics blaming the surge on bike lanes and even a lack of cops, records show.

The number of 311 calls on blocked hydrants has been skyrocketing for years, with 11,886 reports in 2014 ballooning to 64,346 in 2020 to more than 100,000 every year since, according to an analysis of city data by The Post.
