Seattle protesters storm City Hall, demand mayor resign after driving police out of area, declaring autonomous zone
Hundreds of protesters, aided by a sympathetic City Council member, stormed Seattle's City Hall Tuesday night to demand the mayor's resignation, just days after seizing a six-block downtown zone that includes a shuttered police precinct.
SEATTLE PROTESTERS DECLARE 'COP FREE ZONE' AFTER POLICE LEAVE PRECINCT
Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.
The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ)-- a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct-- which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday.

Isn’t the Mayor of Seattle a Leftist??? I don’t understand.
I don’t know. I think the blue states deserve the consequences of voting Dems into power.
Not if the mobs control who votes and who counts the votes.
Good. Liberal policies created the invaders. Let the mayor live with the consequences.
Forget this hapless mayor. She has already de facto resigned by violating her oath and failing to uphold the law. However the situation is now entered the actual stage of lawless insurrection. Apparently these insurrectionists are armed, have seized public buildings and are violating the rights and liberties of American citizens in an American city. It is doubtful that the Democratic Governor of Washington will act. Much of the media will be sympathetic. Will these insurrectionists be allowed to actually seize power through force? Harpers Ferry and the NYC draft riots of 1863 come to mind as historical precedents. Ultimately it will be tricky for Trump. But this could be the defining moment of his Presidency.
This is the broad who said the problem “is white men” a few days ago, IIRC.
At least now you can take away from the contributors, and give to the people who just want to smoke pot and play video games all day
The wacko zone in Seattle is not exactly Washington State.
Most of the real maniacs live in a one square mile area.
Weak women cannot lead in times of difficulty. In fact, they are a curse in leadership positions.
But, the Seattle voters got what they voted for. Screw her and them, bunch of delusional fools.
Fort Sumter moment?
If only they were like the ones in that QM show with Roy Thinnes.
Combust on their own.
Isnt the mayor of Seattle a Commie?

That, and a lesbian, to top it off.
Because she won't abolish the police?
You speak for Antifa I take it?
The fact that she’s abandoning the city. Who needs a mayor. I know nothing about Seattle’s police, but they couldn’t do any worse with no mayor setting policy. Maybe there’s a worse mayor, but when large swaths of a major city are rebelling, it’s getting beyond the mayor’s job anyway. I assume WA still has a Governor, with State Troopers and National Guard. And if he does nothing, a big part of me thinks it’s a state/local problem to solve.
So far, Trump is staying out of this and leaving it to the mayors and governors. Smart move. But if the obamabots attack federal buildings or personnel, they the game changes.
