CHOP gets the chop: Barricades at Seattle's cop-free zone are torn down as police move in to reclaim the 'war zone' a day after the second deadly shooting at the camp when its own security shot dead a black 16-year-old

Seattle's 'occupied' protest zone was dismantled Tuesday a day after the second deadly shooting at the camp when its own security shot dead a black teenager. Demonstrators have occupied several blocks around the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct and a park for about two weeks. Police had abandoned the precinct following clashes with protesters calling for an end to police brutality. But by Tuesday morning crews were working to pull down the barriers.

I feel they were there, almost as political actors, to provoke Trump into a response. He did not take the bait. The continued presence of this charade would hurt Democrat and Leftist image, so now this Broadway Play has been declared a success and is cancelled.

Democrats are responsible for enabling rich white Communist punks with skateboards kill a black teenager.

You wrote "I feel they were there, almost as political actors, to provoke Trump into a response. He did not take the bait. The continued presence of this charade would hurt Democrat and Leftist image, so now this Broadway Play has been declared a success and is cancelled."

I agree that is the best and most logical answer. Trump has shown remarkable restraint to all this goading and it hasn't worked. If he had cracked down, they would use that all summer screeching "He's a tyrant! He's suppressing free speech!" That failed, so now it's on to the next thing -- which today seems to be COVID Part 2. I like your analogy to a Broadway Play that's been cancelled.

Yep. Communism always fails because the evil capitalists won’t let it work.

> “If the libs finally tear down this shithold today, then why the HELL didn’t they do that right after it got started?”

The Lesbian Mayor was in on it. She’s dumber than a rock. She thought Trump would have federal agents or NG descend on this area and martyr a few dozen so the imagery and edited videos could be blasted around the world.

Trump didn’t fall for her trap.

Now she’s got the City facing at least two massive lawsuits that will easily climb into the tens of millions of dollars and more in damages.

She won’t see a second term.

LOL. Do you think that was real? It is so obviously a send-up that there’s a good chance it is real. It’s so hard to tell satire from real-life these days.

Of course now the headline will be “Trump Failed to Act, People Died.”

“...what a 14 and 16 year old were doing driving around at 3 a.m.”

I’m going to go out on a limb and say “trying to find their church choir practice.”

Of course it’s not real, but it is funny. Look up ‘Domino’s Pizza Zimbabwe’ for some really funny stuff.

A few weeks ago, there was a piece of Fake News that said that the Seattle cops had retaken CHAZ/CHOP.

I hope that this is not more Fake News!!!!

Looks to be working out for Trump. They tried like mad to bait him into getting involved, knowing that doing so may make 20% of the country happy, but DESTROY HIM politically.

At this point, it’s their baby and they can deal with it.

LOL!! It's a shame what happened, but the parents share the responsibility for not knowing where their kids were at that time of the morning. Makes you wonder if someone let them use the car, or they took the keys and went for a ride. The second boy is in critical condition I guess...but I haven't heard if he's said anything yet about what happened.

Not so easy to maintain law and order, isn’t it? Most of the younger generations don’t have a damn clue how important having a police force is.

So true.

They (like Biden) expect one perfect shot at a running felon to hit his leg. Actually officers are lucky to only hit what they want and avoid hurting bystanders and they have regular target range shooting qualification ratings to maintain.

The goofy BLM and Antifa thugs will also have sudden impulse to fire in anger when they are opposed. No restraint and duty to look for avenues of avoiding the violence when coming upon a chaotic situation. Just like a fight on the playground or at an ex girlfriend's apartment---beatings, knifings, gunfire from anger. Often a little child shot by accident in the conflict or in a drive-by. That's going to be worse when no police are funded.

“Trump at the first opportunity, clearly placed responsibility on the Mayor and Governor. And he suggested using the national guard and offered federal assistance to all Governors for the asking. And Trump threatened to clean it up himself if they didn’t. Then he let it fester while all the pressure remained on the mayor and governor.

Brilliant.”

It was BRILLIANT. By threatening to go in, he actually forced the mayor/governor to leave it intact, thereby giving the entire country a good look at these people and how they behave, if left to their own devices, without police or other services.

As to the people being shot - tough crap. As to the people living there, they had DECADES to get out of that dump - it’s not Trump’s fault that their properties are basically worthless now.
