SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best says officers will go into the several-block area being occupied by protesters if there are threats to public safety.
Police pulled back from a part of the citys Capitol Hill neighborhood after recent clashes with people protesting the Minneapolis death of George Floyd near the departments East Precinct. A festival-like atmosphere has emerged in the area, now called the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, with participants painting a Black Lives Matter mural on the street and planting a community garden.
Best spoke after a business owner near the protest area complained that police didnt respond when he called 911 to report a break-in and vandalism.
There is no cop-free zone in the city of Seattle, Best said told reporters Monday afternoon. I think that the picture has been painted in many areas that shows the city is under siege. That is not the case.
John McDermott, the owner of an auto shop, told KIRO-TV he phoned authorities multiple times about the incident Sunday night.
Best said officers have written multiple police reports for crimes reported in that area in the past 48 hours. Dispatchers and officers are coordinating with crime victims or callers to meet police on the edges of the CHOP boundaries, she said, adding officers will go in if theres an urgent situation.

From what I hear, the facist thugs just got reduced from six city blocks down to three.

Source?
No, they are looking to set these up in more cities. They can take shifts if they get bored.

They tried.
Police and patriots got rid of them before any of them even lasted 24 hours.
The only reason that the Soyviet Union in Seattle exists is because the Seattle government wants them there.
RIGHT !!
I say expand it and invite millions to immigrate there and become citizens of CHAZ/CHOP. When about 4-5 million are there, since they don’t want to be part of the US, declare its autonomy and don’t let them vote in November since all the residents are now citizens of a foreign country. I think that would secure any hint of the popular vote going to the other guy.
Put up a border wall, like they’re doing, and let them do their thing. Big old T-walls and guys like guns, just like they have.
If I were a police officer, I’d not go in there.
Izzat male or female?
...because food delivery was allowed.
It ain’t Stalin; but...
Statue of Lenin

You need to spread the word that you have scores of undercovers in there already so they all turn on each other.
Its . . . Pat.
indeed!
If I can’t tell, I don’t want to know.
It’s okay. AP says it’s a festival like atmosphere.
these are the same pieces of **** that would probably have reported the same thing about Auschwitz or Stalin’s death camps
I'd definitely go with "Q".
Yes.
