Some Seattle police officers are concerned that disbanding the autonomous zone being occupied by protesters could turn violent. Since officers can't use pepper spray or tear gas to force people to disperse, some officers say their only course of action could be batons and firearms.
Two weeks after protesters cordoned off and occupied parts of Capitol Hill, now named the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP), Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced on Monday it would be disbanded. Officials didn't share a specific timeline for clearing the area and Durkan said the goal is to have people leave voluntarily.
But a Seattle police officer who spoke to Newsweek on the condition of anonymity, said protesters don't have to listen to law enforcement. The officer expected protesters won't be keen on vacating the area, potentially leaving officers with one option: to use force.
"We're no longer allowed to use things like tear gas and pepper spray. The only thing that we can use is our sidearms or our batons," the officer said. "...And we lose if we use force, it's gonna look ugly."

Just what I was going to suggest though I’m not sure if the poor little commies’ cellphones would survive a good soaking.
Blast with water canons then drop in CS gas and pepper spray. Then turn on the calypso music and watch all doing the limbo.

Seattle might just blast them with money. Maybe they can get Bill Gates to pay. A couple million should do it.
Nah...
Too tight urban space...
3 man Ghurka teams approach from each street...
meet in middle and grin big time...
Street hosed down...next!
Shut off the power and water for 72hrs, don’t let anyone who comes out back in, and there won’t be much to clear but trash and feces in the streets along with the AntiFa who are armed and have been wanting an armed confrontation since they moved in there.
Watch you tube live tv Seattle Washington
Wait. Soyattle still has police? I would have told her “Not my problem, bitch. You said this was like the ‘Summer of Love’ out there.”
Can’t the mayor just ask them nicely? She keeps saying what a good group of people they are.
Throw a couple pounds of weed in there, laced with tranquilizers. Let them smoke up and roll them out of there.
I don’t think they did that....
“... some officers say their only course of action could be batons and firearms.”
Methinks most folks see no problem there whatsoever.
How many police officers will need to be shot before Mayor Dorkan calls for Inslee to send the national guard? How many national guard will be hurt before Dorkan or Dimslee call for Trump to send troops?
The mayor is a liberal idiot. She could call out the national guard to support the police with overwhelming force and arrest all who will not disperse. This would give the police a break and prevent violence against the police.
Ah yes, the dogs — preferably large bad tempered males that weigh about 100 lbs each and that like to bite (oh say pitties, German shepherds and Malinois just for fun.)
Lieutenant Gorman : [to Apone over the radio] Look, uh, Apone.
[Apone snaps his fingers, bringing his troops to a halt]
Lieutenant Gorman : Look, we can’t have any firing in there. I, uh... I want you to collect magazines from everybody.
Private Hudson : Is he fn’ crazy?
Private Frost : What the hell are we supposed to use, man, harsh language?

Had she done her job the first day this started, it would have been a lot easier to get rid of the scum. She allowed them, even helped them to implant themselves, hoping it would allow her to keep her job. Anybody that gets hurt now, it’s on her. She could have resolved this from the beginning, but chose to ignore it. It’s all on her.
Tanks. Lots of tanks, with teflon-coated treads, so those violent insurrectionists who refuse to move won't stick to it.
The G-Team.
If only we could use those guys here.
The evil Orange Man played this beautifully. Now the Mayor has to stew in her own feces.
Absolutely correct!! (IMHO, of course.)
