Gamaldi used the City of Seattle as an example that hardworking, law-abiding citizens “want more police in their neighborhoods, not less.” He explained, “I think the irony of it all is you have the Mayor of Seattle, who allowed entire city blocks to be taken over, and now they want those city blocks taken back. Who are they sending in? The very police officers that they want to defund and dismantle. So now they’re going to call these officers in to clean up the mess and then they’re going to have those officers on camera while these terrorists and looters attack them. And then they’re going to hold the officers responsible if they have to use force. It’s completely ridiculous.”
