Could be like false imprisonment is not quite kidnapping but actionable. Sort of a violation of civil rights tact. I bope the plaintiffs win and bankrupt the city government.

as an individual home or building they didn't approve of the wouldn't think twice about shutting off you power and water to starve you out then use force.

Ordinarily you cant sue the government for failing to protect you from private criminal actors. But a federal judge has allowed a suit to go forward filed by business owners against the city of Seattle over injuries done by far‐left activists...The names of the big guns behind the riots - those liberal marxist 'foundations' that supplied the bricks, food, tents, signs, guns, gasoline and baseball bats should have their names on the law suit too...

the police are NOT under any obligation/ fault for not protecting youThe supreme court has stated this on multiple occasions. Anyone who depends upon the police to protect themselves or their property is a fool.

They have a good case on the facts, with the question of law unusual and novel in some ways, which makes it the stuff of appellate court opinions and law school textbooks. This case is unlikely to be resolved quickly or easily.

We have a lousy court system in NH. The AG’s office stinks too. I’m skeptical of the likelihood that this survives but I’m glad they at least tried. Most won’t or can’t afford the price of lawfare.
