City workers built a wall of concrete blocks to fortify the police department’s East Precinct on Friday, following a suspected arson attack this week while officers were inside the building.
The barrier wraps around the building at 11th Avenue and Pine Street — where during confrontations this spring, police temporarily abandoned the precinct, while demonstrators set up the Capitol Hill Organized Protest or “CHOP” on the street and Cal Anderson Park, before the city retook the territory in early July.
“Officers will continue to be stationed in the precinct and respond to 9-1-1 calls in the area,” a city statement said Friday.
The federal government this week charged a 19-year-old Alaska man, Desmond David-Pitts, with arson. He’s accused of setting trash bags on fire Monday night in the sally-port, where police cars exit a secure steel door. Someone else tried to block a door nearby using quick-dry cement, authorities say, but police escaped. David-Pitts participated in protests against police brutality in Alaska this year after his 16-year-old brother was killed by Anchorage police, according to local news reports.
Mike Solan, president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, called Monday’s fire an “act of domestic terrorism,” along with another Monday incident, in which SPOG-posted video depicts two people throwing Molotov cocktails at the union’s headquarters in Sodo.

So much irony, where to begin?
Stalag 17 ?
Walls work? How about that.
Wait....walls and fences don’t stop people!
So who can speak to he rioters and convince them that Nancy P has racist evidence in her freezer along with all that ice cream. Ladders will be provided to get over her 12 ft wall.
Thug could be facing up to 20 years in prison in the event he’s convicted. Arson...and at a Federal building won’t be slipped under the carpet.

Everyplace and where they go looks like ‘the hood’ when they’re done.
Disgraceful mob of vermin!
And real live cops don't hide in buildings. That's what department issue Glock 17s are for.
Kayleigh should include lots of stories like this in next conference and ask MSM questions.
Mending Wall by Robert Frost
(last section)
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That wants it down.’ ....
I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’

I noticed many of the rioters have gathered stones together (Ecclesiastes) and as Frost said are “like an old stone savage armed” they throw the big rocks at the heads and bodies of the police.
Building a fortress means you have decided not to go out and attack the enemy. The enemy should be fleeing and hiding from you. If they show up at your house each night, you are not frightening them enough.
Aren’t walls bad?
