From the article, Snohomish County Sheriff Fortnoy also said it well:
Fortney added that the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has been “supportive and accommodating” to all peaceful demonstrations, but said protesters targeting an individual’s home is a “bullying tactic.”
“If this group or any other group wants to protest the government, we would ask they do so at a government building and not at any individual’s private residence,” he wrote.
Yes. And I meant to say a normal City Council would have told them that.
Good for the Sheriff’s Office!
