South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem capitalized on news that police officers are leaving Seattle at record rates amid budget calls and ongoing protests by offering them work in her state. In her message to Seattle police officers, the Republican governor promised South Dakota would not “demonize” them. “In South Dakota we stand WITH you,” she tweeted on Saturday. The governor even added a link to a website listing law enforcement job openings. Noem’s tweet follows Friday news that Seattle police officers are leaving their department at an “unprecedented” rate.

At least 118 officers have left the Seattle Police Department (SPD) following mass Black Lives Matter protests and city budget cuts. It currently has around 1,200 officers on its force – the lowest number in a decade. According to statistics from the mayor’s office, the month of September typically sees five to seven officers depart from the department, but this year a whopping 39 officers left, including three who were still in training. Other departures included officers who sought lateral moves to other departments or retired altogether. Making those numbers even more dire is the fact they don’t include another 14 […]
The Capitol Hill Organised Protest group has confirmed the artists will be compensated for their creative work on the mural, without giving the overall sum, though, citing upcoming additional maintenance costs. As the Seattle authorities reportedly paid street artists to restore a Black Lives Matter mural near the former Capitol Hill Organised Protest zone after it appeared faded and chipped, they also inadvertently funded such controversial inscriptions such as “ACAB”, “f***police”, and “100% Antifa”. HAPPENING NOW: Newly minted #BlackLivesMatter mural on Pine St. in Capitol Hill is being “cleaned up.” Artist “Future Crystals” was commissioned by the city to make the […]
The city of Seattle apparently paid street artists to restore a Black Lives Matter mural near the former CHOP autonomous zone, in the process funding such eyebrow-raising messages as “ACAB,” “abolish ICE” and “100% Antifa.” Twitter user Kitty Schackleford posted a livestream video Wednesday of an unidentified artist showing parts of the mural with messages written on the BLM letters, including “abolish capitalism,”“F**k 12” and “pigs will be pigs.” Apparently the city of Seattle is paying artists, including this militant streamer to permanently restore the Black Lives Matter mural outside the CHOP zone. “ACAB,” “no good cops in a racist system,” […]
SEATTLE—As demonstrations swept America last month in response to prosecutors failing to charge police for killing Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, hundreds of protesters here mobilized for their latest confrontation with cops. Around 1 a.m. on Sept. 24, a team of officers, many riding bicycles, advanced on activists in the freewheeling area of this city once known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) or Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). The crowd slowly retreated, some with their arms raised. But Camillo Massagli, known to local activists and admirers as “Trumpet Man,” decided he wasn’t moving. The 26-year-old told The Daily Beast he […]
A group of activists attacked a Starbucks in Seattle, shattering the coffee shop’s windows and then setting off fireworks inside the building. Police arrived at the scene and ordered the rioters to disperse. Black-clad protesters threw rocks and other projectiles at the business, while others used implements to destroy the windowed storefront. Video footage shows rioters lighting firecrackers and tossing them into the building. Several loud explosions can be heard as members of the mob cheer. The Starbucks was also sprayed with anti-police graffiti. Law enforcement moved in and declared the protest a riot, warning the crowd to leave the area […]
A video of a Seattle police officer walking his bike across the head of a man lying on the ground has rocked social media, with users decrying the cop’s action and the Seattle Police Department later saying that the incident is under investigation.

The incident took place during Wednesday protests in Seattle, as the SPD officer “walked the wheels of his bicycle over an individual lying in […]

At least 13 people were arrested as Seattle erupted into chaos following the Breonna Taylor case ruling. One officer was filmed pushing a bike over a protester’s head, while another cop was struck in the head with a baseball bat. A huge crowd of protesters gathered near Seattle’s federal courthouse on Stewart St. and it wasn’t long before the protests turned violent, as people began throwing glass bottles and other objects at police officers.

A memorandum issued on Wednesday by the White House directed a review of federal funding allocated to certain cities that “allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones” and “permit anarchy, violence, and destruction.” In addition to the legal questions raised by the order, one expert claims it’s also filled with disinformation. Cities explicitly deemed “anarchist jurisdictions” by the White House included: New York City, New York; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and the US capital of Washington, DC.

Seattle lawmakers are attempting to completely defund the city’s police department and replace it with a new “civilian-led” public safety system in response to ongoing Black Lives Matter protests. The Seattle City Council has already come under fire this week for proposing a 50 percent cut to the police department’s budget — a proposal that prompted hundreds of citizens to express their concerns during a council meeting on Wednesday. Yet, newly revealed legislation now shows that the council may be doing a lot more than simply stripping police of half their funding. Lawmakers are moving to completely abolish the police department […]
First Minneapolis, now Seattle. Seattle City Council on Friday moved to abolish the entire police department and replace it with a Marxist “civilian led Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention.” In the proposed legislation, the city council asserted that the Seattle Police Department perpetuates “racism and violence” and upholds “white supremacy culture.” “The Council is committed to confronting structural and institutional racism as a fundamental step towards addressing the racist institution of policing.” TRENDING: Ghislaine Maxwell Documents Unsealed: Allegations Against Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Others — FBI Knew Had Evidence of the Crimes for Years “These protests forced many nationwide […]

On Monday, Mayor of Seattle Jenny Durkan announced that the city intends to reclaim the neighbourhood taken over by thousands of anti-racism protesters after two shooting incidents in the area over the weekend and multiple complaints from local residents and businesses. “We had to cancel one of them [meetings] simply because getting proper representation from the specifically black community in Seattle has proven to […]
On Monday night the Seattle Police Department announced on Twitter that they will retake control of the police precinct overrun by Antifa domestic terrorists and their allies in the violent BLM mob. This was after the shootings this weekend in the lawless CHOP zone. Tonight The Gateway Pundit learned that a host ofconservative groups and possible hundreds of activists were planning to descend on the hellhole and restore order. BREAKING: CHOP GETS THE CHOP!

The so-called “Capitol Hill Organised Protest”, or “CHOP”, was established by protesters in the vicinity of Capitol Hill about two weeks ago, after police retreated from the East Precinct in the area, with Durkan’s approval. Seattle authorities will take back control over the “CHOP”, Mayor Jenny Durkan announced on Monday, following two shootings that left a 19-year-old man dead and two more people injured. “The cumulative impacts of the gatherings and protests and the nighttime atmosphere and violence has led to increasingly difficult circumstances for our businesses and residents”, Durkan said at a news conference. “We can still accommodate people who can protest […]
The Seattle Police Department posted a video compilation of the police response to a deadly shooting early Saturday morning at the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) aka the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP).

The Seattle police revealed violent crowds in the activist-run zone prevented access to the victims, one of whom died, as they probe the shooting inside the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Officers responded to an early Saturday morning to a report of shots fired inside Cal Anderson Park, which resides in CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest), previously known as CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone). “Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims,” a police statement from that night reads.

Police Officers Guild President Michael Solan blasted Seattle’s leadership on Saturday for enabling the conditions that are making it unsafe for police officers to do their job in the city. Two people were shot, one fatally, at CHAZ/CHOP early Saturday morning. Police had difficulty getting to the victim to help him due to the extreme lawlessness allowed to take over the area by the mayor. “Early this morning, that violence was raw and real where one of our community members lost their life, and police are still not allowed into that area and were prevented to providing that police service to […]
US President Donald Trump has argued that if “people slightly to the right” attempted to occupy a portion of a city – just like protesters against police brutality did in Seattle – they would have been dealt with swiftly. “Could you imagine if people just even slightly to the right tried to take over Seattle, they’d have machine guns out to get them,” Trump said as he was speaking at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday evening. Trump was referring to the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) run by activists in downtown Seattle. The ‘cop-free’ zone, fenced off […]
Early Saturday morning, two people were shot—one fatally—inside the section of Seattle known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest Area (CHOP), a police-free zone that sprung up in the wake of anti-racism protests following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. The gunshots that rang out between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., killing a 19-year-old man and leaving another in critical condition, marked the first report of serious violence inside CHOP, where a largely festival-like atmosphere has prevailed. The protest area’s internal medical team, referred to as Medic One, transported two victims to the nearby Harborview Medical Center. “We had two […]
As Capitol Hill residents have cordoned off several city blocks and taken over a police precinct to set up the “Seattle People’s Department” in their “No-Cop Co-Op,” President Trump has threatened to use force to take back CHAZ if the city does not reassert control. Fifty years ago, an African-American mayor of the nation’s eighth largest city took similar action in the midst of a full-blown street war between police and black nationalists. The day after one of the deadliest nights in Cleveland history, Mayor Carl Stokes ordered the white police and national guardsmen to evacuate a six-mile region and allowed […]

After a week of lusting for conflict in a six-block activist zone in Seattle, far-right figures went and made their own trouble. Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone—or CHAZ, although some newer stylings refer to it as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP—is a small protest area that emerged last week, after police vacated a nearby precinct and city leaders agreed to leave the streets open for Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Almost immediately, figures on the right looked for evidence that the loosely organized protest area was a den of violence and criminality, with President Donald Trump tweeting threats to send […]
The government of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) on Tuesday installed concrete barriers on city streets on the boundaries of the area occupied by armed leftists to prevent vehicles from entering. One lane is reported to be left open to allow access by emergency vehicles. Police will not be allowed in except to respond to life-threatening crimes. The concrete barriers are encased in plywood so occupiers can paint the new barricades with slogans and ‘art’.

May day riot in Seattle Seattle City Council on Monday voted 9-0 to ban choke-holds and police use of crowd control devices such as tear gas, pepper spray, water cannons or acoustic weapons. Police officers can successfully disperse crowds using tear gas instead of using their riot batons, but the Democrats would rather weaken the police and put everyone in more danger. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said on Monday, “It has been historically known through the evidence and other research that the use of CS gas, otherwise known as tear gas, can often be a less lethal way of dispersing […]
The Seattle district known as CHOP — for “Captiol Hill Organized Protest” — and initially known as CHAZ, has been occupied by demonstrators for over a week.The protesters pushed the police out of their precinct station a week ago. Democrats around the country are pushing to defund police departments following the deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta. At the same time the American left and their fake news media are promoting anti-police protests and the demonization of police. On Monday night a business owner in CHAZ or CHOP told reporters he called the police to report […]
The Seattle City Council has voted to make it illegal for police to deploy tear gas, pepper spray and chokeholds on peaceful demonstrators, as part of the city is being overrun by activists declaring it an “autonomous zone.” All nine members of the council voted to strip the city police of the authority to use a number of controversial crowd control means on Monday. In a series of separate votes, the council banned the city from “owning, purchasing, renting, storing or using Crowd Control Weapons (CCWs),” which are defined as “kinetic impact projectiles, chemical irritants, acoustic weapons, water cannons” and other […]

The black woman continued to school the woke white liberal on the history of the racist Democrat party. “[The Democrats] hate black people. These are the same people who fought to keep slavery in. These are the same people who built the KKK,” […]
Raz Simone, the so-called warlord of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone carved out of Seattle by activists, has been filmed handing out assault rifles to minors. That’s a state felony, if only there were anyone to enforce the law. Video that surfaced on Monday – from Simone’s own June 10 Facebook livestream, apparently – shows him handing out assault rifles that look like the ubiquitous AR-15 semi-automatic, including to individuals who look far younger than 21. Washington state law, which went into effect last year, makes it a gross misdemeanor to transfer an assault rifle to anyone under 21, with any […]

Seattle’s bustling Capitol Hill neighborhood has long been a hotbed of gentrification, but right now, the streets surrounding Cal Anderson Park are undergoing a different kind of transformation. Over the past several days of its remarkable existence, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) has captured radical imaginations across the country, and struck fear into the hearts of conservative politicians and right-wing media pundits (including the president). Also known as the Seattle Autonomous Zone, the six blocks surrounding Seattle’s now-abandoned East Precinct have become a virtually cop-free space, populated instead by a diverse congregation of activists and community members who have turned […]

Over the course of the events, Dunkan and Best have given contradicting statements concerning the “CHAZ”. Durkan has described the establishment of the “Cops Free Zone” as an act of “patriotism”, signaling that she sees […]

Even as new protests in Seattle have Donald Trump engaging in his usual bluster, Norm Stamper, the former police chief in that city, has watched the recent images and videos of cops cracking down on nonviolent protesters with tear gas, batons, and pepper spray across the country with the same feelings of sadness and wrongness that have gripped so many Americans. But Stamper had an extra layer of frustration: “We must be suffering from some kind of learning disability,” he told me from his home on Orcas Island, Washington. “We really are incapable of learning from our experience.” Stamper ran the […]
Raz Simone, the self-appointed ‘warlord’ of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), blames a hacker for “old” tweets, after users found decade-old homophobic posts – similar to what once happened to MSNBC host Joy Reid. Simone, a rap musician and activist, has risen to prominence as a leading figure in the CHAZ experiment, and his newfound status has brought with it new scrutiny of his record. This week, some right-wing outlets delved deep into his digital footprint and allegedly dug up some unsavory tweets from 2010 in which a homophobic slur was used. The screenshots of the now-deleted tweets have been […]

Seattle Police have been ordered to stop using pepper spray, tear gas and flash-bang grenades following a lawsuit, further tying their hands as the so-called ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’ sprouted round their abandoned precinct. Handed down by US District Judge Richard Jones on Friday, the order concludes that “on some occasions [Seattle police] used less-lethal weapons disproportionately and without provocation,” having a “chilling” effect on free speech amid ongoing demonstrations over police brutality. “What brings the parties to this Court today are peaceful protesters desiring to engage in their rights guaranteed by the Constitution, the freedom of assembly without fear of […]
Black Lives Matter held a protest march today in Seattle, Washington. The rally organizers forced all whites to the back of the march.

President Donald Trump says Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, a largely police-free community space fashioned amid protests, is run by “domestic terrorists.” Seattle’s police department made (and walked back) a claim about anarchists “extorting” businesses in the area. But actual businesses around the zone say they’re watching Ava DuVernay films, handing out granola bars, and having a nice time. Following several nights of showdowns between police and protesters, in which cops made liberal use of tear gas and flash grenades, Seattle reached a detente with activists on June 9. The city would open up a few streets for Black Lives Matter […]

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has rebuffed US President Donald Trump’s vow to send in troops to remove protesters occupying an abandoned police station if local officials don’t act, saying it would be an “illegal” invasion. Responding to the president’s remarks earlier on Thursday – in which he threatened to directly intervene if Seattle officials don’t “take back” the city – the mayor insisted any such move would violate the protesters’ constitutional rights. “Lawfully gathering and expressing First Amendment rights, demanding we do better as society… is not terrorism, it’s patriotism,” Durkan said. The threat to invade Seattle is not only unwelcome, it’s illegal. Also […]
