Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and police chief Carmen Best are at odds over the city's handling of the self-declared autonomous zone set up by protesters spanning several blocks surrounding a police precinct.
Best has accused the mayor of shirking her responsibilities as an elected official and allowing protesters to oust police officers from a precinct located inside the 6-block radius now deemed a "cop free zone."
**SNIP**
Attempts to identify the leaders of the organized demonstrations and negotiate a deal to allow officers back into the area have been unsuccessful.
Best and Durkan appeared at a joint press conference on Thursday, and was asked by a reporter if they had faith in each other, Komo News reported.
“Yes, I have faith in the mayor," Best said. "I’m standing right next to her giving this briefing."
“I have confidence in the chief,” the mayor said. "We’ve been asked in other forums, 'Are you going to resign? Is the chief going to resign?' The answer is no and no.”
But the local news outlet reported observers typified the exchange as tense and seemingly forced.
The two city officials have repeatedly given diverging messages over the ongoing situation in Seattle, compounding speculation of rising tensions behind closed doors.

Whoa...what’s a righteous proletarian revolutionary to do without MacBook, $400 in cash, and a week’s worth of groceries in a bag? Trump voters stole that stuff, I just know it.
But the tent was completely zipped up!
Send a Ranger QRF.
No, surround the area, don’t let anything in or out and let nature take its course. We do not need to give them their Kent State II video.
Totally asinine that people vote and don’t seem to understand what they are voting for outside of slogan and bumper sticker logic.
shumer and Pelosi, among others, are telling us that this problem is a dispute between the police
and group of people.
where I view it as a dispute between
two Democrat politicians,
and (40% to 99%) a large part
of the local people.
the 2 rats at the top
are probably hiding in the sewer
we are being gaslighted
As Napoleon once said, “ Give them a whiff of grape.”
They are in a camp with looters and are “shocked” their tent was robbed?
The IQ levels among this crowd must be in the stratosphere.
I guess some of the idiots have heard the fallacious phrase, “There’s honor among thieves” and figured it also related to lawless anarchists...so many wet-behind-the-ears dupes waiting to become martyrs for a cause they cannot even begin to grasp...
Remember in CHAZ, when seconds count, the police are just, um, just, nowhere to be found......
