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.

Yeah, I tried to say that but hit post prematurely.
The whole council should be arrested and called to the carpet.
Ideally they should be taken to Guantanamo prison.
Im inclined to agree with you. Let it be their problem.
“Its the whole council.”
They ALL need to be locked up in CHAZ.
It would a blazing example of Social Justice.”
.
Such Cowardly and Colluding Leftist politicians need to be voted out of office.
Time for a Recall election.
.
They’re still trying to call the riots “protests”?
The chief works for the mayor who was elected, he can follow her orders or resign. Seattle has been going to hell for a long time, why slow it down?
>> Or we fight. Neither is pleasant.
Agreed. We first need to understand the root of the problem which may be something other than the obvious radical politician.
“makes blue state mayors and governors look absolutely ridiculous” and weak .....
Yes, I think that the next step is not the feds, it's the alleged governor of the once-great state of Washington.
(And one suspects that the mayor and the gov would just love to pin this on DJT.)
Looks to me like a total of six blocks more or less.
“Black Faces In High Places” is backfiring with the complete inaction of these mayors.
Women who sought those high places are now at a loss for how to deal with their own constituents.
Setting back politics for both blacks & females for a very long time, IMO.
isn’t the governor reputedly as man
Setting back politics for both blacks & females for a very long time, IMO.
And no one to blame but themselves.
Thats too bad.
