In an interview this morning, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan responded to reports that AG William Barr floated idea of having her charged with sedition over #CHOP. #Q13FOX (1/3)
If sedition charge was truly floated by AG Barr, does Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan believe such a thing would be pursued seriously by her old employer - the Department of Justice? #Q13FOX (2/3)
Arguments of "sedition" aside, does Mayor Durkan take responsibility for the occupied protest zone known as #CHOP? #Q13FOX (3/3) More here: facebook.com/brandikruseq13…

Sign posted at Molly Moon's Ice Cream near @SeattlePD East Precinct and now defunct #CHOP zone. "Police Officers: Molly Moon's is a gun free zone. Please do not come inside if you are wearing a firearm."
Not sure when sign went up, but reached out to Molly Moon's just to see the story behind it and reason they decided to post a specific message to officers.
Not unusual for businesses to prohibit firearms, but unusual to have a sign directed specifically at officers. Could be due to proximity to East Precinct.

I was just denied access and threatened with arrest again by #seattlepolice for not having ID while trying to get to my home in #CapitolHill. They claim they were given new orders this morning.

#seattleprotests #seattleprotest #CHOP #seattleCHOP #defundSPD #seattle
I went to a different entrance and the #seattlepolice there told another story - ID was not required. However they claim that they never received the initial orders to stop IDing 🤔

#seattleprotests #CHOP #SeattleCHOP #defundSPD #CapitolHill #seattle #seattleprotests
For context, here is the Deputy Mayor telling me on a conference call that ID will no longer be required as of 7:00PM on July 1st

1. La toma de activistas del movimiento de #BlackLivesMatter de la plaza que está a los pies de la municipalidad de Nueva York, también conocida como #OccupyCityHall, cumple su noveno día.

Abro hilo 🧵✊⛺🗽 ImageImage

3. El martes por la noche se aprobó el presupuesto de de Nueva York con un recorte de 1.000 millones de dólares en el presupuesto de NYPD.
Este fue un golpe duro para el movimiento, pues tomaron la plaza con la idea de influir aún más en el recorte.

HAPPENING NOW: @MayorJenny speaking on actions to remove #CHOP, says @SeattlePD worked “for days” preparing for this morning. “These acts of violence hurt our whole community” commenting on deaths of 19 and 16-year-old #KOMONews Image
Says parks and arts dept will work to preserve some of #CHOP “history.” On arrests today, doesn’t want to see misdemeanor charges pursued. “I truly believe we can reimagine” what East Precinct will look like in the future #KOMONews
.@carmenbest now speaking, says “hundreds” of officers helped in today’s effort, says there have been more than three dozen arrests. “You have seen how absolutely devastating the damage to this area is,” she says. Now assessing when they can get back to work at precinct #KOMONews Image

Due to ongoing violence and public safety issues in the East Precinct/Cal Anderson Park area. Mayor Jenny Durkan has issued an executive order to vacate the area. Seattle police will be in the area this morning enforcing the Mayor’s order. spdblotter.seattle.gov/2020/07/01/may…
Since demonstrations at the East Precinct area began on June 8th, two teenagers have been killed and three people have been seriously wounded in late-night shootings. Police have also documented robberies, assaults, and other violent crimes.
Because suspects in recent shootings may still be in the area, and because numerous people in the area are in possession of firearms, Seattle Police officers involved in this morning’s response will be equipped with additional protective gear.

THREAD:

In response to another deadly shooting tied to #CHOP, Seattle City Council members @cmkshama and @CMLGonzalez falsely claimed the shooting had nothing to do with the zone. (1/3)
Both fatal shootings, while circumstances remain murky, have direct and undeniable ties to the occupation of that area. The first victim's family blames the zone for preventing a proper emergency response to shooting. The second shooting involved armed #CHOP protesters. (2/3)
Meanwhile, it is clear Seattle leaders do not have a plan to deal with the situation in #CHOP and the related violence. Council members are trying harder to find excuses for the violence than they are to address it. (3/3) #Q13FOX

Gun violence, a THREAD

1/ For over a decade, I’ve been a staunch police reformer and advocate for gun safety legislation in Seattle and beyond. Portraying gun violence as an issue caused by the existence of #CHOP distracts us from discussing the root causes of gun violence.
2/ This is an epidemic w/devastating impacts on Black/Brown people in every major city, including Seattle.

Tragically, we lost another life to gun violence over the weekend with another young victim critically injured. My heart hurts for the victims, their families + friends.
3/ I disagree with any attempt to politicize these shootings and use them as a justification for @SeattlePD to move back into the East Precinct after SPD made the choice to leave the building.

HAPPENING NOW: @carmenbest speaks about early morning shooting inside #CHOP, says a vehicle is involved and “riddled with bullets” and that a teen remains in critical condition. Asking people to leave the zone #KOMONews Image
“Absolutely we want people to leave the area,” Best says. “We have had so many issues and problems.” She says she can’t comment on what will happen next, says “enough is enough.” “I would question why we allow this to happen.” Being asked where @MayorJenny is #KOMONews
No one is in custody with this latest shooting. When asked if @SeattlePD will work with @seattledot about moving barricades, she doesn’t give much of an answer. “This is not an acceptable situation.” Protesters follow her after she wraps up speaking with reporters #KOMONews

With no sign of @SDOTtraffic or any other city crews at #CHOP this morning, any kind of barricade removal will be a challenge. Those rebar loops have been cut on every concrete barricade near the East Precinct #KOMONews ImageImageImageImage
A local structural engineering firm tells me having those loops cut could make it a little more difficult to move the barricades but that forklifts could still be used to haul them off. With roughly 70 or so barricades, I’m told it would take 4 to 6 hours to remove them #KOMONews
Per @MayorJenny's office, "there's no update this time" as to when crews could potentially come back to remove barricades #KOMONews

Digging in their heels, leaders and protesters at #CHOP say @MayorJenny wants these barricades around the zone gone by Monday at the earliest. They say they won’t budge. In fact, they’re starting to beef some of them up along 12th near E Pike, telling people to man them #KOMONews Image
One #CHOP leader says they’re in a stalemate with the city and that no progress has been made since this all started. In the meantime, some of the paintings that had been on the barricades are coming down in an effort to preserve them #KOMONews ImageImageImage
Division clearly remains among some of these leaders. One woman just walked by and said the man I was chatting with “doesn’t speak for us.” Others have said some of the barricades will come down that aren’t surrounding the East Precinct #KOMONews

#CHOP - As for my personal opinion - Meeting was a waste of time for me and @WWConverge - the demands from protesters were clearly poorly put together outdated and out of touch. The demands were not really aligned with any community demands we have heard. No protesters in the...
room pushed back against anything the mayor said. The only person who was very clear and concise was Marcus who was laser focused on Human Services for homeless. Otherwise meeting was more about grievances about SPD AND SFD by protesters than demands.
Protester group present never asked detailed questions about how Sunday would go. Never asked Mayor any detailed logistical questions nor did they request time to meet with their council and get back to her. It could very well be because of the fact the Mayor dismisses most of

This group of maybe two dozen people is beginning a march from #CHOP to @SeattlePD West Precinct. The woman leading this is rallying to get others to join in as they get closer to Broadway along E Pine #KOMONews
Those in this march stopped at Pine/Boren for a few minutes. A few drivers are getting upset, others trying to turn around like that white Dodge near the beginning of this clip. Now heading north on Boren #KOMONews
Another very quiet evening in #CHOP as far as the crowds go. This is the first time I’ve seen this sign. Minutes ago, a family stopped by to take a picture in front of these barricades at 10/E Pine #KOMONews Image

Quite the scene playing out now on E Pine between 12th and 13th where a man (who I’m told was kicked out of #CHOP) is now on the roof of a building after breaking in to a nearby apt. @SeattlePD is here. People are on that roof trying to talk that man down #KOMONews Image
One officer wants to go in. Another is saying “no.” A neighbor says he’ll escort the officers in. “We know there are armed people in there,” says the officer hesitant to enter. A #CHOP leader is asking people inside the zone to move back right now #KOMONews
Officer is saying this doesn’t meet the definition of an event where they can enter, says he is “unable to respond to this.” He tells the #CHOP leader it will be up to those in the zone to get the man down safely. “Take your time, keep him talking,” says the officer #KOMONews

It’s by far the quietest I’ve seen #CHOP on a weekday amid conflicting reports that this protest is over. I just spoke with one of the “leaders” who says he and others, like that barricade reads, won’t leave “until their demands are met.” We’ll have more at 5 #KOMONews ImageImageImage
Meeting for a “People’s Assembly,” there still seems to be some division among those who remain at #CHOP. One “leader” says the group “must unite as one” and that they’re now pushing for “legislative laws,” will continue to occupy East Precinct #KOMONews
The woman speaking recommends those staying in Cal Anderson relocate closer to the East Precinct for their own safety. “This is the first time in history that we have something they actually want.” That statement is met with applause #KOMONews

Budget committee is digging into @SeattlePD's budget for the second straight week, and several @SeattleCouncil members are expressing frustration they aren't getting straight answers, even to requests for how long it will take to get answers. #DefundSPD
Here's what we learned at last week SPD budget hearing. #DefundSPD #DefundThePolice theurbanist.org/2020/06/11/pro…
.@CMTMosqueda objected to SPD's use of "less than lethal" as a name for crowd control tactics like chokeholds and chemical weapons that really do take lives, particularly amid a pandemic that targets the lungs. (Hence the ban.) #DefundThePolice theurbanist.org/2020/06/16/sea…

Here's my unedited footage of the shooting at the Seattle #CHAZ / #CHOP free zone tonight: twitch.tv/videos/6578350…

I have no details on what happened besides what appears in the video. Afterwards no one laid hands on me but they did take my phone. They then gave it back. ↓
I want to be clear that the guy who took my phone and the CHOP security team never laid hands on me. The phone was grabbed from my hand but that was it. The injuries I showed on stream were from running away from the gun shots and falling over. A medic came over and helped me
Wash the wounds and then bandage them. That's when the guy w my phone returned with James (green mask guy) and they gave me my phone back. I obviously disagree w the guy who grabbed my phone but want to be clear that in the end no harm was done. Green mask guy has been on my

I've lived in Capitol Hill and I've lived in South Seattle. The shootings at the #CHOP are not unique in their frequency or damage. They are unique in their location. Bringing police back will not stop them, at best it will move them south so CH folks can ignore them again...
I don't remember how long we were in South Seattle before hearing the gunfire. But not all the gunfire was from people shooting each other. Some of it was from police practicing....
See, there's a police range near the Rainier Beach/Dunlap area. You can occasionally hear the gunfire from Dunlap Elementary. Imagine being a kid growing up there and hearing people training to murder you.

We also heard drive-bys at night. They picked up a lot in the summer...

BREAKING: We’re following a possible shooting in or near #CHOP. @SeattleFire says crews were canceled while on the way, that @SeattlePD reports someone was taken to Harborview by “people within CHOP.” A CHOP media liaison tells me there was one “green patient” #KOMONews
UPDATE: @MichelleKOMO confirms Harborview has one patient with a gunshot wound in “serious condition” #KOMONews
Here’s a look at #CHOP right now from Broadway and E Pine. A man here at the corner told me he heard a “full clip unloaded” #KOMONews

As we continue to seek answers in the deadly shooting that happened near #CHOP, @SeattlePD has no new updates. We’ve also reached out to @MayorJenny’s office again - we’re told that as of now, she isn’t speaking with media #KOMONews Image
UPDATE: A spokeswoman for @harborviewmc says the second man who was shot, 33, remains “critical in intensive care” #KOMONews
Here’s a new statement from @MayorJenny, in part reading “In the coming days, I believe together we can create a Capitol Hill environment that allows for peaceful demonstrations at Cal Anderson, quality of life for residents...”

What that looks like remains to be seen #KOMONews ImageImage
