Washington State is about to begin a massive overhaul of rules regarding police activity, ‘reforms’ which many observers claim are likely to lead to even more lawlessness and crime in the state.
As Fox News reports:
The nearly a dozen bills, passed by a legislature controlled by Democrats and signed by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in May, took effect on July 25 and cover virtually all aspects of policing, including the background checks officers undergo before they’re hired; when they are authorized to use force and how they collect data about it; and the establishment of an entirely new state agency to review police use of deadly force.
Perhaps the most concerning changes come under two new laws, H.B. 1310 and H.B. 1054, because they take away officers’ ability to pursue criminals or prevent crimes from occurring, Lewis County Sheriff Robert Snaza told Fox News. Under the first new law, officers now must have probable cause, a higher threshold, instead of traditionally just reasonable suspicion, before they can use force.
That means, according to Snaza, if a property owner calls police to report a potential robbery taking place at their home, and deputies arrive but only witness individuals walking off the property, they no longer are able to use force to detain those individuals while they further investigate. And that’s even if those people match the description of the suspect.
“We’re are going to see a dramatic increase in criminal activity,” Snaza said in a phone interview with Fox News. “What’s going to happen is, there’s going to be a lot of backpedaling. These Democrat legislators are going to say that’s not what we meant, we didn’t mean to take the tools away. That is backpedaling because Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs (WASPC), federal police and all these other organizations told these legislators the consequences. They told them what was going to happen, and they chose not to listen.”
It appears that Washington State will soon be about as well-governed and policied as a third world country, a stark prospect for the law-abiding citizens still living there.
You get what you vote for and deserve what they give you.
Forest Gump might say stupid is as stupid votes
And what happens for those that didn’t vote for these idiots. Time to vote them out.
Even if this causes the death of the very cops you call? This is a shame.
I would not be a cop there.
If they rig the elections your vote doesn’t count. They are intent on taking this nation to communism and will use force to do so. These demodevils are pure evil and do nothing but lie,rob and destroy , these are mentioned in scripture as attributes of Satan
just like Nov 3, 2020…. rigged in more that 7 states.. Morons think that intelligent Real Americans think that jo&theho got more than 80 million votes – that he even out pulled the african.. our colleges and media have failed us…. catastrophically ..
Charlie don’t piss down the back of my neck and tell me it’s raining.
No we don’t. Those fuks take an oath to uphold the Constitution and when they get in they back stab us in the back.
They should be hung on the front lawn of their state capitol for not obeying their oath to the Constitution.
They had better watch what they wish for. They just might get it.
And when violence goes up they will once again punish the law abiding making it ever more difficult for them to defend themselves from the democrat approved thugs.
Every cop in every blue city in America should just walk off the job. When crime starts hitting the ignorant democrat law makers where it hurts then the cops will have the upper hand.
Democrats, insane new restrictions. That says it all.
I KNOW THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN, THAT BEING SAID, STILL SOME people VOTED FOR THE donkey IN OFFICE NOW, ARE YOU PEOPLE HAPPY??? WASH. STATE IS GOING TO OPEN THE GATES TO PURE MAYHEM!!! EVEN WORSE THAN NOW!!! The ENTIRE biden/harris COMMUNIST REGIME IS LOADED WITH LIARS, IF NOT OUTRIGHT LIES, THEY LIE BY OMISSION!!!

I BOYCOTT THE BIG COMPANIES THAT PAY THE OVERGROWN BABIES FOR THEIR ENDORSEMENTS!!! IT ONLY COSTS THE AMOUNT OF A COUPLE STAMPS!!! PLEASE JOIN ME WITH THIS IMPORTANT CRUSADE!!!
This is LIBERALISM at work. Good Luck to the citizens of Washington state.
So what, the idiots that live in Washington voted all these democrats into office so you get what you vote for.
impeach them for intentionally passing laws that do no protect the citizens that voted them into office . They work for the people. when they do not do their job you fire them.
Why do I suspect that this so called major state will soon be very minor state . Lawless and UN inhabited except by law breakers ! Dumb liberals and leftists .
ready to happen in a number of democrat KKK run cesspools around the country.. insly is such a turdo, but is in a very large group of leftists that cater to the burn loot & murder gangbanger hores, the antifa trash bags, and perverts of every description.. doing those scum bag’s wishes INSTEAD of the Real Americans THAT PAY TAXES…
Are you people really this stupid ,the DemORATS want high crime, so when the citizens beg for help, these scummy DemORATS will start hiring brown shirts. Remember what Hitler did, if you don’t, it’s high time you start researching your history before it’s to late!!!
Four of those very brown shirts testified yesterday at pelosi’s 3rd SHAM investigation!!! If those pos cops really had those things done to them, they’d REMEMBER & NOT HAVE TO READ IT OFF THERE PREPARED STATEMENTS AS THEY DID!!! THEIR ACTIONS WERE A TRAVESTY, THE PHONY TEARS, WELL THEY ARE AWFUL ACTORS!!! THOSE 4 NAZI COPS FROM YESTERDAY NEED TO LOSE THEIR JOBS AND PENSIONS!!! OH YEAH, THE BIG black guy IS PART OF BLM, THAT SAYS SO MUCH!!! WE ALREADY HAVE THE BROWN SHIRTS WORKING FOR THE CURRENT DICTATOR biden!!@
the “theater” known as the house of nonrepresentation is continuing their collective – pervert supporting schitt that they began when the african was fraudulently allowed entry into the WH.. scum bag trashed the oral office and the country.. he should be swinging somewhere
All Democrats are worthless idiots and should be thrown out of the government immediately and permanently!
Many will flee to Idaho and contribute to the downfall of this state. It’s all in the plan
“They (the police associations) told them what was going to happen, and they chose not to listen.” Well, I’ll be horn-swoggled, imagine that, the Demorat liberals not listening to the people who meet the crime contingent of our society, every day. And this is while they sit behind their bristling arms barriers, in safety.
wonder how much insly and the rest of the aholes spend for private security 24/7 ??
I feel so sorry for the reasonable RED population of this state who never wanted their state to turn into this liberal s***hole. Isn’t it time for a revolution, hopefully a peaceful one, but whatever… Perhaps Kim Dong Poon will nuke the distended BLUE cities and then the common folks with American brains and values can begin again? Hey, I’m just sayin’….
I feel sorry for the officers. I suggest to them, “You have the right to go home after your shift, everyday”. Democrats voted these idiotic politicians into office, so let the democrats be the ones who suffer. Officers should never put themselves between the criminals and the victims in a state like Washington. If they do they will be criticized or humiliated for being a police officer. For officers iin states like Washington, take a page from the Democrat Playbook, Go to work, do nothing, collect your pay check, and complain because it is not enough. As a retired police officer, I pray for the police in the state of Washington and other Democrat controlled states who defunded their police. Go home safely officers and F**k the democrats. GHod Bless America
Just remember voting doesnt count with DemonicRATS. They cheat. Dominion Voting Machines have been crooked for decades. Thats how they get in. But also blame Media for making them look rosy and Conservatives bad as well as indoctrination in Education The Community organizer did a great job of corrupting all Officials in authority
Bye bye tourism for WA state then bad news
This is the CATHOLIC way!…R and D mean nothing… Catholic is socialism. ALL CATHOLICS are socialists. Failure of a hundred nations, a thousand years of exactly 100% failure. Vote for ANY Catholic and you vote for a true history of perfect failure. Oh yeah, Biden, Pelosi, Cuomo are all CATHOLIC along with a third of all elected.
….
Joe Biden VERBATIM – “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”.
