Since 2013, 20% of entering Seattle officers have had military experience. Some wonder if that's the kind of training the city wants for its police.

The 5% decrease is a step toward closing the city's $378 million budget gap, but also less than the 50% cut protesters are demanding.

The vote comes amid ongoing protests and weeks of pressure from community advocates and some union members.

The measure from Councilmember Mosqueda would likely raise over $200 million annually from top-earning companies.

Local leaders call the current demonstrations a new era for civil rights.

The police chief's decision comes in response to demands from oversight and community groups that are demonstrating against racism and police brutality.

The King County Labor Council once welcomed the Seattle Police Officers Guild. As protests continue, it’s reconsidering.
