It has finally happened. Seattle’s mayor has officially surrendered to mob rule.
She has had the city replace the ragtag barriers with new concrete barriers to keep people out of CHOP.
It has reduced its area from six square blocks to just three.
They put barriers in place in such a way to open up the streets for traffic through then area and in exchange, CHOP gets undisputed control of their occupation.
I hope the voters see and understand that the Democratic party has thrown their support for then rioters, not only in Seattle but throughout the county.
BREAKING: Seattle City Council just unanimously voted to ban the city from owning and using crowd-control methods like tear gas and blast balls, which have been used on protesters the past couple of weeks. #Q13FOX pic.twitter.com/ZdLsvpV0bD

Socialist Council Member Kshama Sawant said:
“Many of us have witnessed it; many of us have experienced it. They falsely claimed that the protesters were violent rioters and that they had no alternative. … They even attempted to maintain those lies in the face of videos showing the police were the source — and the sole source — of the violence.”
Seattle police have pulled back from the neighborhood and abandoned the department’s East Precinct.
Protesters painted over the word “Police” on the building and replaced it with “People.”
