A Native American member of the Seattle City Council is firing back after being targeted by “Defund the Police” protesters who disrupted her neighborhood and spraypainted obscene messages in graffiti near her home after she refused to sign a pledge committing to an immediate 50% reduction in the Seattle Police Department’s budget.
“Several tribal leaders in Washington state are denouncing ‘incredibly personal and targeted acts of violence’ against Seattle’s lone Indigenous City Council member, Debora Juarez, who in recent weeks has received death threats and been harassed at home by mobs of protesters who support defunding police,” Indian Country Today reported.
