Seattle Diverts $250K From Capitol Hill Cameras As Shootings Surge

The Seattle City Council's Public Safety Committee just voted 3-1 to redirect $250,000 away from Capitol Hill's vetted CCTV camera program — diverting the funds instead to community anti-violence initiatives and "safety ambassadors." This decision came down while Capitol Hill was logging fresh shooting incidents, including a gun battle near 11th and Pike and violence spilling out of a nightclub in the same corridor where the Bite of Seattle chaos unfolded days earlier.Sean walks through the full picture: Mayor Harrell refusing to greenlight a camera system that already cleared a vetting process, Bob Kettle drawing a budget line in the sand, and activist Katie Wilson leading the push to swap surveillance for social programming in the exact neighborhood where gang members are actively shooting each other. The council's answer to a shooting surge is ambassadors, not arrests — and certainly not cameras.The pattern is the same every time. Another study. Another commission. Another feel-good program. Never prosecution, never incarceration, never the tools that actually deter open violence. Seattle is what you get when progressive theory becomes city policy — and the residents of Capitol Hill are living with the results while city hall debates the optics of cameras.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the stories the mainstream press won't tell straight.#NFRP #Seattle #CapitolHillGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
