But.... what's with the lack of empathy? The people want the Cops to break down on the homeless, but they're only homeless and broke because of the lack of social programs. Why is this program so weird to me as a Swede? It basically thinks that "locking people up" will solve the problems, but it's not like that in real life. All of homelessness, addiction and criminality is basically a result of the systems in place in the city. No help for homelessness causes more homelessness. No economical aid for people struggling = more homelessness etc. etc. Why is this program pretending like it's the problem of the justice system?

If you want to help the homeless man in Seattle first give him a fishing pole and a free fishing license. That's a start. I don't think the people in Seattle who are paying enormous tax on their highly inflated property, and paying on every purchase for someone to "earn" $15 an hour while possessing no "skills", can bear the added expense of programs on top of the huge incentives given to affiliates of the politicians in power (political favors).

I feel for the people who have landed in drugs, but I feel even more for the people who are shoved out of family businesses because of the bad choices of others.

I visited on my own and just felt downright unsafe a lot of the time. I just can't believe nothing is being done about this. It's a shame because the city seems to have so much to offer but I will never visit again nor would I recommend anyone else to.

I’d hate to see what happens to it if Boeing ever closes down the plant and the Navy moved elsewhere. I don’t think Everett proper would survive. You should see it right now, useless construction on Broadway right now that’s been going on for months and a few burned out buildings that’ve been “remodeling” for close to a year.

Go to the Jacksons on Pacific Avenue near the freeway exit and I guarantee every morning you’ll find a homeless person there waiting to buy their alcohol.

@@troutfitter547 they won’t. And that BS is spreading - just look at Chicago a couple of weeks ago. The only thing that the overcorrection regarding police brutality has accomplished is to make every crime a possible death sentence. If law enforcement isn’t allowed to do their job, citizens will and they aren’t required to use any escalation of force. In my state, a person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. Great bodily harm is defined as any harm more severe than minor or slight harm and could include wounds that bleed profusely or require stitches, broken bones, and injuries requiring surgery. For example, bruises generally won’t fall under this but shove someone down causing them to hit their head or chase someone with an axe or knife or box cutter would likely meet the elements. A forcible felony includes treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual. All that progressive policing has accomplished is to force people to defend themselves and they will do that with lethal force.

Excellent documentary. The solutions you have laid out are so simple and so easy to do but they take the will of those in charge. Let's pray that those people heard you xx

Pay homeless to clean up the city, have city assigned bags, tagged for fill, homeless takes said bag, goes out and fills it, then you pay by weight. Even if they are emptying the city trash cans, it's less work for city workers, and you can also have assigned housing for those that are doing work relief.

I was watching the sentencing and all that and I am from Sarasota Florida, and now I live in Orlando. And I can tell you the police do not act like that here, they are jack-booted thugs in Florida. And secondly the judges are all total Nazis. You will sit in jail for a minute over some of these small Petty ass shit. I know someone who got 6 months for stealing a Four Loko. Yeah he had priors and shit, but in Florida they do not play. And they'll come get your ass no matter where you're at. I actually think that's a good thing though. Because downtown Orlando is nowhere near the shithole Seattle is. That's because the cops can/will beat the shit out of you, and the judges will lock you up. 💯 the moral of the story is when you come here on vacation don't fuk up. Cuz they will totally fuck you. The system here is insanely brutal. It's draconian in Florida.

I have just returned from Seattle where we stayed for 2 days following a cruise. I was the first time i had visited the USA for nearly 10 years, prior to that i visited at least twice per year since the mid 90's. I was shocked. I saw things in Seattle that i have never seen in the USA before. The level of drug abuse within the city centre (I stayed on Pine Street and 8th avenue) was shocking. Street dwellers, Open drug use and private security by dept stores and businesses was openly seen. I was so aware of it i consciously decided to limit my movements around the city. What struck me most was the willingness of the authorities to allow this to openly exist within the city. This clearly leads to less inviting areas for tourists and locals alike. It will surely mean that tourists in particular will avoid these areas, in my case i have already decided that i will not be visiting the USA at all in the foreseeable future, as i don't see it as being safe, or value for money when compared to other areas of the world. What will this mean long term for the income generated by tourism for the USA? Couple this with the current political turmoil in the USA and i don't see how anyone would visit the USA unless they have to, and believe me, they don't have to!!!

I visted seattle for 10 days and was soooooo ready to get the h*** out of there. It is GROSS.

They are quick to send money to other countries while people in America are still hurting. I thank the Lord I’ve never been it such a situation 😢😢❤

@@darlenesawyer6739 Sounds to me that you prove the exact attitude that messes America up the: us vs them attitude. You all live in the same country. Locking the door or putting people in groups won't help. I don't have a solution. But I can see that a lot of incompetent people on all sides are only caring about themselves. That never builds anything good.

I died a little today. Insterad of typical Sunday morning news show we had the farm report. One of the most urbane cities in the world being forced fed farm videos on TV. I remember 60 years ago the radio stopped doing the farm report in the mornings. Thinking the Sinclair overlords did not approve of this weeks news cycle. Please do what you can to prevent them messing with programing here in Seattle.

I went to Seattle several years ago I noticed at every red light there was people bagging for money and I had to stop at McDonald’s to use the bathroom there was a bunch of people begging for money too

Its bias ..Seattle has a big housing problem not a criminal problem however homelessness can cause these people to commit crimes ie:shitting in the bushes and just being in plain sight...Why is there a housing crisis all over Nth America and here in Toronto as well where i live...These locals voted there Government in obviously they voted for the wrong people...Period !!

Presumably the journalist will be fired.

Glad I left when I did. They forgot to tell you how horribly expensive it is to live there to pay for all this... privilege.

@Alyssa Townsend Those are not leaders and that is not leadership. There are incompetent leaders on both sides of the spectrum, don't bastardize your good point by a slander. The policy choices that support a "soft response" are not the way to lead, it never has been. Humans, when left to their "freest", will fall to the level of dogs. Without law, you have disorder. BTW I understand having 3g's of weed and not being taken to prison, but 3g's of meth or heroin WTF Seattle, someone on that board must be using. Oh I left out why they are not leaders, because they are paid not to be...

Alyssa Townsend Huh? How did you drag my voting policies into this? I lived there for eight years and I was commenting on my living experiences. Is someone a little high strung today?

My brother works private security in Seattle because he's able to make $110000 doing private 3rd party security for a big corporation that sells hot caffeine drinks.
