We do not want to be...accessories to this murder.
By taking over and not allowing cops to do their jobs, one could argue they did become accessories to murder.

When the police went in, they meekly asked the occupiers for permission. I assume that’s what their mayor told them to do. Seattle is lost.

What's REALLY needed is some straight up Civics 101 in HS so young people don't buy into unworkable, criminal and wholly anti-social agendas.
Without a ground in THAT, people are prey to every single BS organization out there with an ax to grind against Mr. and Mrs. US Taxpayer.

Our movement should demand and insist that the Seattle Police fully investigate this attack and be held accountable to bring the killer(s) to justice, said Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant in a statement. One paragraph later she re-upped her demand, however, to defund these same police.Sawant is a cold sore on Seattle's lip. They wanted her, and they got her... but good. Lotsa luck getting rid of her, geniuses.

“Danny Westneat has no future at the Seattle Times.”
Neither does the Seattle Times, so that’s OK.

We as safety teams are peacekeepers, not police, read the unsigned statement from the CHOP, or Capitol Hill Organized Protest. Maybe they could be The Committee of Public Safety, or as they say in the original French: Comité de salut public.

...how do we think ambulances get access to often volatile crime scenes? Who typically does that work of securing shooting scenes, so that aid workers can move in? Well, there's some hope here... guess not all journalists are brain-dead. Nice that you're thinking Danny Westneat. That's encouraging.
Now, for second thought: IF a Republican mayor was running the city, the illegal parts of the protest would have been squashed BEFORE THEY GOT OUT OF HAND. Democrat mayors benefit when thugs in their own party bully everyday citizens... that can get out of control quickly - with noted results.
The lesson?
Stop electing democrats who tell police to stand down while giving passes to thugs (of all colors) to destroy the city. (and yes, good people and smart companies will leave Seattle... crime will skyrocket (if it hasn't already), property values will sink, and the city will suffer)

Sorry, but the chorus lines of the new NO COPS TV show theme song just popped into my head:
NO COPS!

Ha, if anyone in TV land had a backbone, he would make a show like this. Show the ugly truth about what happens when anarchy reigns and thugs aren’t afraid of the law.
