This is why you need to defund the police.

In some places in America the police are vastly over funded, but in other places we have much lower police to citizen ratios than NYC.

Police defunding in Seattle would be a disaster for example.

Really? My experience in Portland, for instance, is that the police show up at protests with toxic smoke grenades, but when you call 911 you get an answering machine, and someone may call you back half an our later. The police won't even issue a traffic accident report unless someone is injured! Defunding Portland police would make zero difference to quality of life.
