"the initiative would give police power to arrest people who fall asleep in public"

So there's a fucked up ballot initiative coming that wants to make existing at all as a homeless person a jail-able offense.

It's sponsored by non-other than the Seattle police union (aka SPOG) and is a power grab to give useless cops an easy way to pack prisons.

Don't sign this bullshit initiative.

@nullagent I did a napkin calculation once that half the SPD annual budget could fund market rate studio apartments for all the city's homeless. I prefer that option still.
