SEATTLE -- Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.
Trump taunted Gov. Jay Inslee and Mayor Jenny Durkan about the situation on Twitter and said the city had been taken over by anarchists."
Take back your city NOW. If you dont do it, I will, Trump tweeted.
The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone sprung up after police on Monday removed barricades near the East Precinct and basically abandoned the structure after officers used tear gas, pepper spray and flash bangs over the weekend to disperse demonstrators they said were assaulting them with projectiles.
The president has sparred before with Inslee and Durkan both liberal Democrats. Inslee previously sought his party's presidential nomination.
Inslee tweeted Thursday that state officials will not allow threats of military violence from the White House.
The U.S. military serves to protect Americans, not the fragility of an insecure president, he tweeted.

I’m saying the president has the authority to use the military in the case of domestic terrorists try to overthrow elected official in cities and states.
Duh!
Most of America watches MSM!
That is the problem!
“Protesters/Rioters would have to go through Bellevue to get to it....”
You’ve heard of boats, right?
“”It is impossible to watch the news, even FNC! Cavuto is just as bad as MSM.””
It is becoming so, ‘tis true! I can take no more than about 15 minutes of any of FNC. Even meek Ed Henry is irritating - so careful to SAY the right thing, it’s nauseating! Can’t watch any morning show..I said the other day that FNC doesn’t need to keep Juan Williams around for balance as the rest of the crowd fill the bill for that! Do they not KNOW or do they not CARE?
Lol. That's why the northwest is so green -- LOTSA rain.
It s ALREADY the fault of Inslee and Durkan whimpery. Yet voters in that state will keep sending such leftist fool anti-Americans to offices ruling over them, even as the leftists give the state over to the anarchists. The media enemy is aiding and abetting the destruction of the Republic as this malignancy grows in our midst.
I’m old enough to remember when Native Americans occupied Alcatraz Island. It lasted 19 months. November, 1969-June, 1971.
ABC calls a land without the rule of law “festive”!
LOL! Can’t make such idiocy up.
Wonder if there’s anyone over 21 at the company.
A-men!
I don't care if local communist / democrat (one and the same) politicians want, this has to be put down, put down hard, and put down NOW.
Boats? Of course I’ve heard of boats. And believe me, Gates has a couple of boats of his own for his security people. I’ve seen them. And when people get too close, people come out in those boats and tell them to go away. What those boats have on board besides men is unknown to me, but I would guess some of them might have some fire power aboard.
You appear to be saying you will not vote for President Trump because he tweets.
Can we just recognize that President Trump is smarter than all of us and his trolling of the Leftists only causes them to double down to their great detriment in the public forum. By saying Take back your city NOW. If you dont do it, I will, he is forcing them to eventually take action and prove he was right all along. By doing this he is gaining votes.
You should consider what he would gain by remaining silent.
There is no way this stays in just Seattle. Only a matter of time until it expands to other cities.

I never said I wouldn’t be voting for him but I think I know how John Q. Public votes. And Trump often says things and doesn’t back them up making him appear weak. I’ll allow you to prove me wrong. I say these thugs are staying there well into the future. You say Trump forced Seattle officials to take action. So when will this action to remove them take place?
And while you’re at it, let me know when Trump is hiring the special prosecutor to go after Hillary’s emails. That bluff was literally his first fatal flaw and when the left knew how vulnerable he was.
Woodstock inner city.
Make um clean up afterwards.
But; are they outgunned; too?
