Just hours after the Seattle Police Union accused that city’s leaders of losing “all the political will toenforce the rule of law,” the police chief has had her say. It may be too late.
It’s not clear that Chief Carmen Best’s words on Thursday will do much to quell the anger the cops are feeling about being ordered by the chief to abandon the East Seattle Police Precinct on Monday. This was after two weeks of holding the line and being attacked by protesters.
They abandoned the building, allowing the violent protesters who’d been amassing there for days to take over the area surrounding it.
The subsequent village that has sprung up around it has taken on a “Lord of the Flies” air, with warlords, food theft, illegal ID requirements, and a protection and extortion racket. They’ve dubbed the area the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ), though it approximates a post-apocalyptic dystopia, albeit with really great coffee.
No cops are allowed. Armed protesters patrol the encampment.
The chief said nothing at the time, but claims now she didn’t agree with the decision to hand over the precinct to the mob.
Chief Best released a video (below) to her officers in which she said they were “family” in one of “the toughest times ever” in the history of the Seattle Police Department. She claimed that she was “angry” about it and didn’t care if anyone knows it – even Mayor Jenny Durkan, from whom the order came.

This has to be a chargeable, criminal offense by the mayor in some way.
Number One tactic - cut wifi and cell phones.
A friend of mine living in Seattle, used to be CIA thinks that Seattle gave up Capitol Hill to quarantine the lunatics into one central place so they could manage them.
This dude is pretty damn smart, and I think he’s right.
Of course you get blame-shifting because the MSM lets them get away with it. If things get really hairy, it's time for another round of "find the Republican," as it was in Minneapolis.
That’s interesting and talk about a target rich environment.
See France No-Go Zones for context.
I might buy your ex-CIA buddy’s theory if I had confidence in the wisdom of the average Democrat mayor.
He might be smart, but I don't think the Democrat politicians who run the city are that smart, seeing as it was one of their own that used her own key to City Hall to let them in.
Anyone remember the movie Assault on Precinct 13? This is the sequel, only they just surrender in this one instead of fighting back.

Anarchists monitoring borders, doing ID checks, and paperwork is better than anarchists building bombs and shooting guns.
Well with that kind of courage...
If she really cared she would have simply stated "I will not follow that order."
They could then fire her and she would now have some credibility and dignity.
Is it now a requirement for all big city police chiefs to be black women?
“That’s a helluva price to pay for being stylish!”
So ‘segregation’ is making a comeback?
That would be really smart if you assume the DOJ, FBI and local law enforcement was ever going to do anything.
Remember how the FBI showed up in Eastern OR over Dwight Hammond?
I’m betting nothing happens to them.
I do not know where my country has gone but if need be there are a large bunch of folks out there who can lock and load and bring back the rule of law.
I have lived a long time served in the army for over 20 years and then as a law enforcement officer for 20 more. I have never seen anything like this before. You never give in to terrorists and these people are terrorists.
If those on the left can’t or won’t do it there are a whole lot of retired military and law enforcement who can and will get it done.
Isn’t this cute, these hypocrites want all Confederate Symbols yaked down because they are symbols of the nation’s past, but they set up their own Confederate State in which they hold the resident hostage and American Forces aren’t permitted to go. Things that make you go hmmmmm?!
