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.

Like tolerating the first "sanctuary city" blatantly defying the law, they have allowed portions of OUR country to be walled off and held by thugs.
We have had "no-go" areas with violent gangs in the NYC area (drug lords tell even the cops when it's ok to enter and leave).
Now we have CHOP areas in several burned out urban regions. This is America?
What right have the thugs to demand their own territory where WE cannot enter (without being beaten or shot)?
What federal building?
Picture of violent thug with bullhorn (bad combination):
“So if you white racists think you can wait for your dessert in some family restaurant, you gotta raise your fist to salute the BLM, like this, see? Or you don’t get no food and y’sall get your a—es kicked and same for your children. Hear me, y’all?”
Oh, the incredible irony.
Law enforcement in the US is one of three major components of the criminal justice system of the US, along with courts and corrections. Although each component operates semi-independently, the three collectively form a chain leading from an investigation of suspected criminal activity to the administration of criminal punishment....Law enforcement operates primarily through governmental police agencies.
Thank you. I had never read that.
DANG!
He looks like a big, strong fella. What a waste of muscle. Hopefully, his physique will help him break rocks and fend off perverts where he’s going.
Well put.
That thug in post #7 is way too smug, no signs of fearing retribution.
And why should they? Every night the news footage proves that they can destroy, loot and burn any Democrat run city and the odds are small that YOU will be one of the few charged with anything.
Our cities fail on a number of levels, most related to geography and geometry;
-Bridges and Roadways that are too narrow not only for the volume of vehicles but also for emergency responders and protection
-Outdated infrastructure and tall buildings due to cities being jammed in near rivers (no longer required due to road and rail access since the invention of the reciprocating engine) where, if not limited by the base level footprint, would be lower, longer, and wider as well as spaced further apart, not just for access but for security. Buildings jammed next to each other and only a sidewalk away from danger are a liability.
I thought walls don’t work....
