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.

This appears to be an expansion of the Autonomous Zone, City Hall looks to be a little over a mile away, other side of the interstate. Open to correction from someone who knows the city.

The Mayor should resign.

Oh yeah.

She should resign, set fire to her house and belongings and hoof it out of town.

It’s only fair.

I don’t know much about it but you want the mayor to step down because she won’t defund the police department?

I shouldn’t even ask that because I know you and you’re hardcore conservative.

But in the first few sentences it says that’s the reason they stormed city hall

You mean because of the miserable job she’s done overall.

but now antifa forcing her to quit will bring a WORSE mayor into play i think

i could be wrong :)

Yep. After taking the East Precinct station (actually, the cops abandoned it), they were let into City Hall and NOW are on their way, marching to the West Precinct Station.

Perhaps Trump can take him into “protective” custody, to protect Seattle.

Washington State is now in insurrection. Cancel their electors for the upcoming election.

Not enough of a commie. The most powerful, radical commies are purging their competition...sort of like Lenin, Stalin, and for that matter Hitler, did while they consolidate power.

The Bolsheviks are making their move against the Mensheviks.

Next, it will be Stalinsts vs Trotskyites.

Time for Trump to act! Once you let them get away with this, it won’t end.
