“...A couple of nights later the police came in at 3 a.m. and wiped out the whole camp, loading it all in dump trucks and hauling it off.”
Because at some point the mayor ordered the cops to. In this case the mayor is ordering the cops to abandon their station and keep out of the zone. The state’s governor claims to not even know that any of this is happening. The local officials appear to be on the anarchist/fascist’s side.
Yes, and it looks like the same thing is about to happen in Portland —- another CHAZ, with protection from the communist mayor.
