In a new post-police era:

The rich will have private securty.

The middle class will have good guns and good ammo.

Your imagined new era in Seattle is already over, we are back to the police acting normally.

Considering they're likely to defund police budget by 50%, I'd say that's very wrong.

I'd support major changes in the police funding and move more to social services, but I'm really skeptical it will happen. The mayor doesn't seem like a rock the boat kind of person.
