Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and police chief Carmen Best are at odds over the city's handling of the self-declared autonomous zone set up by protesters spanning several blocks surrounding a police precinct.
Best has accused the mayor of shirking her responsibilities as an elected official and allowing protesters to oust police officers from a precinct located inside the 6-block radius now deemed a "cop free zone."
Demonstraters inside the perimeter of the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" - or "CHAZ" - have battened down for almost a week decrying police brutality after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and are demanding the city abolish the Seattle Police Department.

That’s my view as well. This is one of those teachable moments cherished by the Left, only exposing their absurd incompetence and hypocrisy this time, in spades. Let it roll.
These are free Republican campaign ads.
I thought they got rid of logging in Washington.
A classic Trump role will be to stay out of it and let their left wing governor dig their political grave a little deeper.
Skewer them with his on target Trolling and let them have a cat fight.
I understand that Durkin is a former US Attorney (DOJ) for part of Washington state.
Someone needs to ask her what she learned about U.S. rule of law while serving in that capacity.
The longer this goes on, the more pathetic that Seattle government and LE officials look. The governor of WishyWashington should be included in this cabal of incompetence and negligence.
> Cat fight! <
Sure looks that way. And there’s only one way to settle this: mud wrestling. Neither lady is particularly attractive. But in trying times like these, Seattle must overlook that and set up the match. Two out of three seems fair.
The shi* has past their eyes now they are over their head’s.
Perfect if the Mayor fired her after meeting with Trump or the police chief declines a meeting.
Its a Troll. Trump just has to act sincere to win.
The last thing Trump needs to do is fix liberal Mayor/Governors problems, but if looks like he’s trying to, it does a lot for the woman vote he needs.
Women care more that you are trying than if you succeed. Women put more weight on intentions than outcomes. Feelings over facts. Its genetic.
The great thing about the “protests,” is that they proved that Covid-19 is not as dangerous as they claimed it was. Less than one percent of the protesters who volunteered for testing were infected — let alone came down with symptoms requiring more intensive care. But that was admittedly among a healthy population who could walk and stand for a few blocks — and not people already dying in longterm care centers and nursing homes, which were at least 50% of the deaths despite that only 1% of the population lives at such places. When you discount for those who are already in such poor condition that they will die from anything, anyway, no matter what extraordinary interventions or vaccines are utilized, then we have a more realistic idea of the panic the media is trying to propagate to keep themselves employed.
Meaningful efforts would better be directed to keeping people from having these underlying health problems — virtually all connected to obesity and the diabetic process (metabolic syndrome) — of following the dietary recommendations of the WHO and CDC to eat more carbohydrates (sugar) as often and frequently as possible — and avoiding consuming healthful essential (complete) proteins and fats — which is the perfect prescription for those vulnerabilities — while thinking that is the optimal diet for humans.
Particular attention should be paid to “prediabetes” — which are all the symptoms of diabetes without the high blood sugar thresholds at which that condition is diagnosed. That doesn’t mean that all the damage is not being done as the tissues are replaced by sugar — rather than building healthy tissue because of the elimination of these nutritional building blocks of proteins and fats. While protein and fats can be converted to energy — as needed, carbohydrates cannot build healthy cells no matter how much one consumes of them. That’s the real epidemic of misinformation and disinformation that the health care agencies and the media promotes that is the greatest health danger of the present time going forward.
Any virus, microbe, germ, bacteria, is only as great as that underlying health can respond to — as its “immunity.” That is every individual’s first line of defense — and not whatever draconian measures we should take so that the least healthy cannot die. They will, just as assuredly everybody will — when they fall into that predisposition. So this one size must fit all, no discriminations allowed manner of thinking, is the great threat to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — which should remain the standard by which we assess any thought, word and action.
I am forced to add: We'll have to get used to it.
Or we fight. Neither is pleasant.
I think we should have gone all out to stop the "sanctuary cities" monstrosity. We all just carried on and put up with it.
That is like letting toddlers go on beating a drum, clashing a cymbal and throwing food off the table during a visit by their visiting grandparents. Either stop it right away or watch for them escalating and doing much worse the next time.
if right wing groups were the ones ‘occupying’ Seattle city blocks, how many think they would still be holding it while the city giggles and calls it a ‘block party’?
[[Sort of like a feckless parent in a store with an out of control toddler who refuses to leave.]]
Bingo- products of Dr Spock generation
Absolutely. When you stand back and let it happen without even trying to stop it, you're condoning it, and it only emboldens them to do more.
Actually, the talk I hear out here in realville is that our President doesn’t want to do anything about Chaz cuz it’s an election year.
I see how people can come to that conclusion especially as our lying media never even tells the truth
It’s the whole council.
Trump needs to stay out of it.....
I don’t think the Chief is political.
The Mayor needs to be incarcerated in CHAZ along with the rest of the inmates.
