As Antifa militants take to Seattle’s streets on a near-daily basis following the inauguration of President Joe Biden, the city’s police and Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes are responding with a promise to bring the hammer down on violent protesters.
In an announcement on Saturday, the city’s interim police Chief Adrian Diaz announced that his department is coordinating with the city attorney to enact a strict new policy to arrest and prosecute protesters who destroy property during street demonstrations.
Diaz said that the new enforcement policy will take effect this Saturday, when a demonstration has been planned for Occidental Square. Prosecutions will increase under the new order.
In his speech, Seattle’s top cop said that he has wanted to crack down on the violent militants for months, and that its becoming clear following Biden’s inauguration that their protests have no real cause.
“They’re focused on breaking windows, and these are things we need to work on,” he said, reported Seattle Times.
A spokesperson for the police said that suspects in low-level crimes were not even booked into jail last year due to coronavirus concerns, and that the policy of not booking those who commit misdemeanors is unlikely to change. However, individuals released on bail who are re-arrested will likely be prosecuted now.
Diaz said that police will take a hardline approach to repeat offenders.
“We will be prosecuting these crimes from now on,” he said. “When we don’t have any form of accountability for people — and many of them are coming from outside the city — they will continue to do that activity, and we can’t have that.”
In addition to the prosecutions, police will be deploying in extra numbers starting Saturday and will coordinate law enforcement efforts with the Washington State Patrol and federal agents to prevent protesters from entering freeways and federal buildings.
“We would like to protect buildings from being vandalized in the first place, and don’t want to cause undue conflict. It’s safer for protesters and officers to not be drawing that line, so to speak,” said Diaz.
Earlier this week, Antifa rioters vandalized and looted the historic Starbucks, a Democratic Party office, and numerous local businesses in protest of the newly inaugurated president.

These fags and Idiots are a year too late. Imagine if there were a response worth talking about last summer.
Yup, well President Trump is no longer a factor, so they are done putting up with that crap.
Gotta try to make biden look good somehow.
So everything up till then is a freebie, eh? Wow.
I think all the business leaders and citizens that were terrorized by the failure of Seattle and Washington state government to protect them when they obviously always could have a very promising lawsuit on their hands.
In the meantime... where’s the communist city council that supported AntiFa up until 3 weeks ago?
Strange they’re not defending the pawns now...
No mention of bringing down the hammer on BLM. So Antifa all join BLM now. Let’s see them hammer that.
Ever notice how the media calls antifa violent protesters and the people who entered the capital building Rioters???
Another double standard...
Let us see if this is just talk or they follow through.
Some of the Antifa folks have been coddled like children—in some cases their parents are prominent citizens with political clout, in other cases they are part of teachers unions and other “protected classes”.
;-)
Also—notice there is no mention of tracking down funding and logistics sources—definitely would not want to go there—no telling what you might find with an actual investigation.
BEHOLD! Bars and restaurants can now open and now the police will crack down on the miscreants because the optics are horrible for Biden and the Rats.

Seattle will do nothing about Antifa, any more than Portland will. Most of this was happening before Trump took office, besides.
I wonder how many pallets of bricks the Seattle Home Depots have sold this week?

“Kill them. For the Lord knows those that are His own.”

Modern translation:
Kill them all and let GOD sort them out!
There is a lot of truth to this. The whole Antifa thingy is nothing more than the Leftist wing of the Democrat party influencing the elections through violence and intimidation
What is Seattle even doing with a Police Department? I thought it was supposed to be defunded. Cowards.
Lord these people, bless their evil little hearts.

= = =
OK, so before the nonauguration all that violence did have some real cause?
Unfortunately, there are millions of useful idiots out there, that will buy into this BS. I certainly won’t.
Think about that for a few minutes....
Lol. What a joke the city is.
