It does matter that the police are arresting 5 times as many people for simple possession at a time when the city attorney has declared that NONE will be prosecuted.

That fact highlights the polarization between the law enforcement in seattle and the elected officials. Do you really need me to explain why that matters? Or for that matter why that is really the most critical part to the story?
Then what you are saying they are still providing dishonest services by running up arrest numbers then failing to prosecute. In a normal person's mind, that is the government committing fraud to satisfy federal requirements for handouts to continue to harass and arrest people for no other reason then getting free money from the feds. And this is government that normal people elected and want? I think not. :wtf:
