Legato alla morte di Floyd il referendum per chiedere, niente meno, di cancellare il dipartimento di polizia e di sostituirlo con un nuovo Dipartimento per la Sicurezza pubblica concentrato su un fantomatico 'benessere'.
A sostenere a gran voce il mantenimento del corpo di polizia è stata la Davison, opposta a Nicole Thomas-Kennedy nella corsa alla carica di City Attorney.
La Davison, sul proprio sito, si definisce così: "I am not a partisan. I’m an independent thinker and a Seattle mom, not an activist ideologue. This approach is vitally important to implement our laws and to enhance public health and safety in Seattle. The political extremes seek to make cooperation a dirty word and solving problems nearly impossible. As a moderate Democrat, I voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. In 2016, I caucused for Hillary Clinton in the 46th Legislative District and then voted for her in the presidential election. Last year, I voted for Joe Biden... My opponent advocates the most extreme viewpoints: defund the police and abolish the city’s criminal justice system. My opponent would have you believe that if we stop prosecuting misdemeanor crimes — including domestic violence, assault, drunk and reckless driving, theft, trespass, and slash funding for the police department — the natural consequences will be acceptable. She believes such an approach would magically make crime disappear. She’s wrong, and this is not the kind of thinking we need in the City Attorney’s office. It will make us all less safe".
