Seattle Protesters Establish 'Autonomous Zone' Outside Evacuated Police Precinct
comment: Looks like the anarchists took over 6-8 city blocks, city hall and the police turned tail and bravely ran away abandoning the police station. The police chief and mayor have lost control and Governor Inslee is waffling on what to do next.
A warlord has been proclaimed and one of his first acts was what? To build a wall.
Anti-police-brutality demonstrations are cooling off in much of the country. Not so in Seattle, where over a week of protests and street clashes has resulted in police abandoning a precinct building, demonstrators establishing an "autonomous zone" in the surrounding streets, and a brief occupation of city hall.
The site of much of this drama has been the Seattle Police Department (SPD) Eastern Precinct in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Late Sunday night and early Monday morning saw police and National Guard troops push protesters away from the Eastern Precinct with tear gas and pepper spray in what local alt-weekly The Stranger describe as "the most aggressive and sustained" response to protests yet.
