SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department has released the bodycam footage of officers responding to a fatal shooting in the so-called CHOP zone early Saturday and being swarmed by what they called “a violent crowd” that prevented police from reaching the scene, particularly since they are prohibited from using less lethal options.
Officers responded around 2:30 a.m. to shots fired in Cal Anderson Park, which lies inside an area of several blocks that demonstrators in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood cordoned off and dubbed the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP zone.
The shooting inside the protest zone killed a 19-year-old man and left another male with life-threatening injuries, police said in a post on its blotter Saturday.
Police bodycam footage shows officers arriving and moving through the zone with guns drawn as a group of angry protesters yell profanities and approach the officers.

I second that emotion.
CHOP should arrange with some bikers, to provide security.
pay them with stolen beer or liquor
It’s also illegal to seize a portion of the city and shoot people. Why wouldn’t they shoot a drone?
Yes, some very tough bikers could handle most of these freaks.
“Illegal? We don’t need no stinkin’ “Illegal” category!”
keeper contraction...
idn’t it?
A block party in a lunatic asylum.
Yes, his tracks are all over it.
As Woody Allen said: "Always try not to get involved in your own personal life."
They hate police in CHOP, the new country outside the US border limits. So why enter CHOP uninvited, try to involve yourself in a murder case -----without a police station----with leftists ready to sue you and imprison you for handling it wrong? Why? Unlike even Jimmy Stewart in Mister Smith Goes To Washington you are really all alone on this case.
I cringe when I see that. Why didn't the Haight Ashbury people copyright that phrase? Overpraised and phony but the stated goal was peace and love. You will never hear that from BLM and Antifa and the Dems today.
This was painful to watch. My instincts say run over the POS if they won’t move. I cannot stand the in your face treating of the police, who are trying to get to a shooting victim. I cannot stand the sight of the police being forced to retreat. It’s shameful and disgusting, the evil that is going on
Yep, crying and trying to say the EMS team won’t come in because it’s a black man dying. Hey, they asked for freedom from the rest of the country, this is what it looks like.
Raz from Chaz pleads with EMTs:
Where are the taxpayers of Seattle? Are they that scared? I don’t know what the answer is. The kinda good news is no City will allow this again. Seattle is a laughing stock.
Dearest LIBS who vote for Libs/DIMs/leftists: Hahahaaaaa . ..enjoy the suck .
Read section 3 of the 14th. It wasn’t written just for those Democrats. Removing all the insurrectionists from current and future office is a start. Replacements need to undo felon voting and their rioting foot soldiers need to be booked onto the felon list. Trump reforms cleare$ a lot of prison space. Use it.
Yeah - this is kinda what happens when you are an “Autonomous Zone” - you get “autonomy” from services. You chased the cops off - and so - deal with the consequences of thinking you can have your cake and eat it too.
Didn’t the EMTs refuse to go in without a police escort?
Ever try to fire a black woman? Good luck with that.
