Seattle Police Officers Guild President Michael Solan told "Outnumbered Overtime" Friday that the city is now the "closest I've ever seen ... to becoming a lawless state."
Solan called for local leaders to help restore order after anti-cop protesters declared a six-block section of the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood to be an "autonomous" area and a "cop-free zone."
Solan told host Harris Faulkner that legitimate issues of police brutality and racism had been "stolen by unreasonable activists in the city of Seattle.
"And now, they control six square blocks," he added. "They control the precinct. And that is a direct result of our city-elected officials lacking the political willpower to enforce the rule of law."
"And, this is the closest I've ever seen our country, let alone the city here, to becoming a lawless state when public safety issues are deeply, deeply concerning," Solan went on.
"And, if…unreachable activists have taken over an East Precinct voluntarily given up by an elected officials’ decisions, what’s to stop them from taking another precinct?" he asked. "And...West Precinct -- where 300 protesters marched on it two nights ago, where officers were ordered back inside, outside the perimeter -- If we lose that flagship precinct, that houses the 911 communications center. Therefore, if that becomes disabled, how do we provide public safety services to the entire city?"

And all the useful idiots who voted for this leftist, democrat mayor are now getting the ‘government’ they wanted nice and hard, albeit that government is actually the lack of any government and a lawless society.
Let them all suffer.

Screw ‘em. Six blighted blocks in a communist section of a hardcore leftist city that supports that nonsense isn’t worth shedding American troops’ blood. Let that miserable city who elected “Mayor Jenny” stew in its own failure.
Michael Solan, it’s time for you to find a new profession. Policing is over for the foreseeable future.
I agree.
If only there were a well armed, trained and equipped government authorized force that could deal with this kind of lawlessness. . .
Good Lord, the lack of self awareness and irony is incredible today. This guy literally has no clue, like he's in a glass bubble or something.
How much protection money will Starbucks and Amazon pay to keep the anarchists from occupying their headquarters?
My property is a patriot sanctuary zone. All commies will be shot crossing the picket line.
Jenny who can we turn to?
Ditto. I saw this union POS whining on tv. His union overwhelmingly donated and endorsed RATs.
With ya!
Welcome to libtardness, the upcoming ‘summer filled with love’......
Thanks. I just can’t bring myself to give two shits about a filthy liberal hellhole like Seattle.
Well since you “protectors and servers” retreated like Yellowbellies, yeah lawless.

Well and truly said, and every word of it! POTUS Trump, please stand down, let those arseholes self-destruct, and good riddance to them all!

Plenty, but not one cent of it will have come out of my pocket!
Seattle (and many other places) is so far gone that if there were an election today for Seattle mayor the same idiot would be overwhelmingly re-elected. Nothing ever phases the automatons of the Left. They just keep goose-stepping forward in unison. If they’re not stopped soon, they will be marching (literally) over us.

Me either. On the other hand, I am a firm believer in the rule of law and the harsh smack-down of lawbreakers who assault people and destroy or steal their property. Therefore I’m also a firm believer in a person’s lawful right to protect himself and others, and their property by any reasonable means, which would include violent means if judged necessary.
