Despite Activist Objections, Seattle City Council OKs More Than $1M for Police Recruitment

Two years into sustained calls for police reform across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd, residents pleaded with the Seattle City Council, which once committed to divesting from the city’s police department, to vote against spending over $1 million in police hiring incentives and recruitment efforts.

“Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of the police killing of George Floyd, yet this afternoon, the council is spending its time figuring out how to incentivize hiring more police, without having done anything in the last two years to hold police more accountable,” said Howard Gale, an organizer of police oversight activist group SeattleStop.org.

“Accountability needs to come before incentives, or else we’re going to repeat the violence of 2020,” Gale added.
