Breaking: Seattle City Council Votes To Defund Police Through Layoffs and Attrition Over Objections By Mayor and Police Chief

The Seattle City Council approved proposals Monday that would reduce the police department by as many as 100 officers through layoffs and attrition.

The action was one that was supported by demonstrators who have marched in the city following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis but it was strongly opposed by Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best.

Measures that would cut less than $4million of the department's $400million annual budget this year passed out of committee unanimously last week.
