Washington State Reverses "Police Reform" Bill That Negatively Affected Law Enforcement

 March 21, 2022

Despite outspoken support from anti-Police activists, woke pandering in the form of defunding the Police and removing critical law enforcement tools does great harm to law and order.

Surprising news, right? Believe me, we are as shocked as you are...

Washington Governor Jay Inslee finally came to reason and signed a bill that reverses many harmful "Police reform" laws signed into existence in response to anti-Police activists last summer.

This reversal includes once-again allowing Police to use force when stopping suspects from fleeing. Also, Washington Police Officers are allowed to use force when attempting to make an arrest.

Once serious issue with the previously passed legislation is that it prevented Police from defending themselves with lethal force unless they were being actively attacked. The newly signed bill reverses this incredibly stupid rule, once again allowing officers to defend themselves when immediate threat is perceived.

While this is a good move for law enforcement in Washington, the fact remains that Police across America are still being persecuted and even killed at higher rates than ever before.

We hope that other anti-Police legislation around the country will be reversed and soon.

  1. Washington State to indict Inslee and corrupt woke administration. Any and all attacks on PD must be charged to these maggots. Same in OR. Why is Kate Brown allowed to breathe?

    1. There are good and bad people in every profession cops pull over a car and get shot in the face. There have been more homicides and murders now than ever before regular people and cops. I agree there has been violence that should not have been but if you ever need help or your children jail and you cannot protect them because they are wherever they are at school or at a friend's and you need help or they need help there will be none so think about that

      1. THANK YOU!!!! SUCH A GREAT POINT AND ONE THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT THERE!! GREAT!!! AGAIN, THANK YOU!!!

  2. Gee, who with a brain would have thought that defunding police would allow crime to escalate? It's about time we finally say - enough with this lawlessness. Personally, I'd allow police to ignore certain neighborhoods because they were not safe for them and let those animals kill each other - end of problem.

    1. I am totally with you 1000% what all of these animals kill each other that would solve a big part of our problem and it is basically been happening for years more blacks killing blacks than ever before even though now b l m is a fake organization has been going on since the 80s just people don't know exactly a terrorist organization and when an employee at the University of Boston said all lives matter he was fired. Anyway at the University of Boston and receive $1000000 settlement money now why was she fired? I cannot answer that question it makes absolutely no sense does it to you?

    2. Hey, Ginger ~ Great post!!! I totally agree!! But then, the STUPID, INSANE LEFTISTS want to know why crime is so much higher! The Police and All First Responders do NOT get paid enough for putting their lives on the line day in and day out - night and day!!!

  3. The police should be defunded 100%, then citizens would police there own areas. In witch every violation would be a death sentence.

    1. You must be very ignorant New York City Police defunded they raped and killed and 92 year old woman she had no protection after they raped her a threw her in the dumpster so I hope that someone comes and puts a gun to the back of your head and blow your brains out or one of your children or family numbers you need help and nobody is going to help them especially the children you need to think about that if you have children how are they going to protect themselves they don't have guns so they will just be killed by all of these people that we left across the border when they emptied the jails in Mexico so you need to get educated

      1. AMEN, LORNA!!!!!!!!!! GREAT POST!!!! You have obviously seen through the defunding bullshit being spread around!! Love to you, Lorna!!!!!

    2. Sorry, but YOU Are Mentally Sick!!! Are YOU going to "police" someone or people who are being shot at, on the verge of being murdered, armed robbing, etc.??? NO!!!!!!!!!! YOU are NOT brave enough and do NOT know what you are saying!!! You're OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please DO NOT post any more of your insane bullshit!!!

  4. Cops are being attacked because they've lost their way. They care more about the "thin line" than the people. The good cops do nothing to stop the bad ones and in fact support them. This is why they are being attacked.

    1. There are bad apples in every business there are good and bad cops just like you but if you got rid of cops what about the children don't have guns to protect themselves and just be kidnap or raped or killed. Maybe you don't have any children so you really don't give a s*** I hope you never need help because it won't be there for you good luck

      1. AMEN, Gerry!!!!!!!! Great point!!! People are so OUT THERE!!! I don't have children, but I Still care and pray for every First Responder and all of the victims and survivors every day!!!! Thank you, Gerry!!!

    2. BULLSHIT, MELONG!!!! YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE STATING HERE!!! I suggest you watch Discovery Investigation ID - especially the Body Cam episodes and You Will see what the police go thru on film, directly!!!! Please DO NOT post any more of this kind of Crap!!!

  5. When we add up all of the crime related costs, the amount is more than enough to fund the containment of dangerously insane people in kind and caring mental hospitals, replacing prisons which have an 80% failure rate. Make the doctors liable for the people that they chose to release.
    Many drug addicts have so much damage that they have nothing to work with and could be cheaply housed and given the drugs of their choice. Drive through the downtown San Francsico and look at the condition of the people using drugs and toileting on the street.
    Offer every kind of education, therapy, and care for those who request it, but just give the drugs to the hopeless addicts in a controlled and protective environment.
    Thank God that most of us have hope, dreams, and duties that get us up in the morning and keeps us sober. Pity those who have no hope, no dreams, and just want to feel good, even if it doesn't last. Pray for them and show them the mercy that all of God's creatures deserve.

    1. Hey, Charles ~ You make a Very Strong point! I believe though that we Still need prisons, police and All First Responders. But, again, I have to say I agree with your point about letting the folks do their drugs in a controlled environment and pray for them Every day!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Democrats are pandering to election polls. As has happened in the past, after the election the Democrat States will go back the their real beliefs - no police, no jails, and rampant crime.

    1. Great, great point, Ernst!!! Thank you!!! The Democ-rats are USELESS!!! We Need to impeach All of them NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
