    "400 years of racial injustice in a police department." For a city that have been around for how long?
  • @billbinmei
    8 months later in Seattle: 300 cops left the job, response time went up to an hour and the cops won’t be coming for minor crimes. Seattle city council needs to go.
  • @mjgaudier8999
    "Defund the police" is a statement you'd usually hear from a criminal.
  • @blech71
    This video didn’t actually answer any questions of what defunding will actually yield.
  • @refinedgent3942
    That first woman they interviewed is probably the most level headed and fair person in the whole video. That "journalist" is clearly biased.
  • @mike3376
    I’m old enough to remember when Vice was credible.
  • @Rubygirl0908
    "Give us what you owe us." Does anyone else see the problem with that mentality?
  • @qaseemtak9368
    0:40 Vice casually refrains from mentioning WHO exactly shot those two black men. Hint, it wasn’t the police. Seriously 🤦‍♂
  • @DyegoPC1995
    This video sounds more like a statement than actual journalism/reporting.
  • @shereesetz6690
    Seattle was amazing & so was Portland up until the late 90s. It's heartbreaking to see the West Coast become what it is today.
  • @Po0pii1
    Whoever supports defunding the police will regret it when no one shows up while they're in danger

    "When everyone is unhappy it means I'm doing something right." - American Politics 2020 This country deserves better.
  • "Are you just an apologist for the cops?". One of the stupidest questions I've heard. Vice hire please some good reporter/host.
  • @josephblow4992
    I did a road trip across the country during late summer 2020. Seattle was the worst place I went to by far. The city was overrun with homeless people, addicts and crime. There were discarded heroin needles and feces in the street. I was shocked and disappointed
  • @SincerelyVeeVee
    “No cops, no prison”??? “What picture will they use on the news.” Wow privileges.
  • So what you're really trying to say is that it's not working out in Seattle.
  • @silencedem6227
    This reporter is clearly biased and shouldn't be interviewing people he get's mad any time someone has a different opinion then him and throws out a snide comment in return
  • @LaBamba1680
    “When everybody’s unhappy, you probably did something… right” Well that pause tells us she’s not a complete psychopath. Even her conscience had to stop for a second
  • @severusdeath
    Wait, what defunding makes the city less safe? Huh imagine that.
