ENOUGH: I'm talking to many journalists who are tired of being threatened, doxxed, intimidated, and in some cases, violently assaulted by aggressive activists or dare I say it, "Antifa." But journos like me and @MrAndyNgo should not have to walk alone.

It’s time for journalists and other news outlets to make a decision. Either we sit passively on the sidelines, or we publicly condemn the threats and violence. I am calling on industry friends like @rcfp @aaja @spj_tweets @pressfreedom @uspresstracker @FTVLive to do the same.
With the warmer months ahead of us in Seattle, we are going to see more protests. Most of it will be peaceful. But when certain actors choose to block our cameras with umbrellas, physically assault us, and prevent us from shining a light on the truth, that’s a problem. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 
@SeattlePD viciously attacks a group of non violent protesters over "property damage" aka painting their likely illegal wall. SPD severely injures one protester and leaves them laying in the street for over 10 minutes without medical attention.

I'm hearing the victim is in critical condition. SPDs violence is disgusting and inexcusable, no one was being harmed until SPD showed up. Fuck @SeattlePD. You can see 5 cops pile on the unresponsive victim right after they attack

Thread: @BLMSeattleKC isn't affiliated w/ the global org. Isn't an official chapter & is taking consistent action is support of police. The bail fund has stopped & secret meetings w Durkan have continued. They were not responsible for No New Youth Jail. #seattleprotest
They retracted their support of KCEN.
They backed Carmen Best when Best was gassing the City & criminalizing Black Youth.
They are attacking the Council using the BLM name while siding w Durkan who vetoes efforts for police accountability. #blm #seattleprotests

This is concerning bc hundreds of thousands were donated. I shared their page. Promoted them. Worked on the census project w/ them. Worked on getting visits done for the ppl they were supporting on bail. As of 7/13, there was no more bail support. #blm #seattleprotests
CJ TV is traveling the country with Momma Bird, who doxxed a Black leader in Seattle and is suspected to be working with the police.
Protestors in other cities should be wary of these two.

Momma Bird has been problematic in the Seattle protest community for a while now, for being close to the police and doxxing Black leaders

She put a target on a Black leader's back and tried to pin conservative media outlets on a Black woman leader.

I saw a sign yesterday at the #Seattleprotest that I've been mulling over, and I've decided I need to talk about it. This might get long and might be vaguely disorganized, and please bear with me - it's important. 1/22
“Empathy is not allyship.”
One more time for emphasis: Empathy is NOT allyship. 2/22

Bluntly - it doesn’t matter if you feel bad about events or feel pity for the people involved *if you aren’t willing to actively do something about it*. It doesn’t matter. “Feeling bad” about events happening is irrelevant. Feeling bad is the embarrassingly bare minimum. 3/22
THREAD: This is going to be a long one. But I want to take a few minutes to point out some of the obvious moral and logical shortcomings at Seattle City Hall. If the press doesn't do it, then who will? #TheDivide #Q13FOX #SeattleProtest #SeattleRiots
Let's start with Councilwoman @Lisa_Herbold, who only calls for peace in Seattle when it allows her to make a political point against the president.
And while Councilwoman Herbold speaks with absolute certitude about what's happening 200 miles away in Portland, she acts as if she can't possibly know for sure what's happening in the city she is elected to serve.
Seattle PD has confronted peaceful demonstration in Capitol Hill. People already pepper sprayed earlier today.
#SeattleProtest #CapitolHill

Cars are blocking this armed police vehicle from entering the protest area. Unclear if Seattle PD or from another jurisdiction. #Seattleprotest #CapitolHill
@SeattlePD (and others) threatening to “run over” parked cars, then entered the car without a warrant. #seattleprotests #capitolhillseattle
So clearly today is not the day we get to have a life. Catching up now, but 11th & Pine (once again) is a major friction point between protesters and police. We've seen flash bangs, pepper spray and blast balls all used in the last few minutes.

We've heard repeated reports that flashbangs have lobbed into the crowds and that media have been targeted by both pepper spray and rubber bullets.

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.

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 🤔

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
To EVERY SINGLE freakin'national outlet that is gonna pick this shit of a press conference up on #SeattleProtest: THIS IS A SET-UP.
To be clear, it goes like this:
The mayor pulls the strings, saves face, acts like she has no power to do exactly what she has power to do, discusses next steps while plainly avoiding ANY EXISTENCE of next steps already being asked by constituents while (1/)

the overly-paid ($300+k) face of law enforcement--also hand-picked by the mayor--takes the heat & even gets thrown under the bus by the mayor within the same conference. If in fact the full extent of self-imposed police "identity" is in fact felt by the Chief, bonus points. (2/)
7:29PM - We're checking in on the CHOP ZONE for the nightly march down to the West Precinct. Follow along live!
We're still waiting for things to get started.

The group is chanting "off of your ass, and into the march."
Walking with a group westbound on Pine as they chant, “out of your homes, into the streets” during the #seatleprotests

Right now in Cal Anderson Park a large group is joining forces to erect a giant sized Black Power Fist the group at #CHOPseattle built @KIRORadio #seattleprotest #BlackLivesMattters

I was streaming when the incident happened at CHAZ last night in Seattle. An auto shop near the zone was broken into (Car Tender), property stolen, and a fire started. The owners called the police and fire dept but they were told they would not show up. Full THREAD with clips ↓
The man who broke in then returned to the scene of the crime while I was streaming. The owners knew what he looked like because they held him briefly to question him and to recover some of their property. He was released when a group from CHAZ arrived and broke down their gate.
The man then fled the scene back to CHAZ where he was held and questioned by CHAZ security along with the car shop owners. The goal was to try to search his pockets and multiple bags since money and car keys were still unaccounted for. #CHAZ #CHOP #Seattle #seattleprotests
So, the anarchists are running a few city blocks in Seattle, renaming it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or #CHAZ. #SeattleAutonomousZone #seattleprotestcomms 1/14
It got me to thinking of the city of my birth where, a little more than a mile away across Lake Union sits a statue of Vladimir Lenin, the Soviet Union’s first dictator and mass murderer. 2/14
In fact, Lenin and anarchists had an “interesting” relationship. 3/14
Welcome back to #CHAZ where artists are painting BLACK LIVES MATTER in huge letters on Pine. #seattleprotest
Current scene at #CHAZ: sun sets as people spray paint art & hang out in the street. Dogs walking around off leash. Someone just announced free vegan pizza has arrived. #seattleprotest
Christopher Lee performs his poem, "Dear Black Man," in front of the boarded up precinct. @MarshallLawBand has moved up here and is playing now. #CHAZ
Good evening from the #CHAZ in Seattle over on Pine and 10th
“This is now a community center” reads one sign hanging outside the East Precinct in the #CHAZ
@MarshallLawBand still holding it down peacefully on the corner of Pine and 12th in the newly designated #CHAZ during the #seattleprotest
Here's a searchable database of Seattle Police Department salaries from 2018 #DefundThePolice #DefundSPD
thenewstribune.com/news/databases…
thenewstribune.com/news/databases…
at the top of the heap is Lt Kebba, who in 2008 "initially decided to dismiss witnesses' claims [that another officer kicked a suspect in the head for no reason] because an officer knows better whether he is in danger than even two civilian witnesses." seattlepi.com/news/article/V…
#2 is James Danielson who appears to work a desk job in the Office of Professional Accountability and makes ~40% of his $328,000 salary in overtime/bonuses. Idk about your place of work, but if HR is working that much overtime, something is fundamentally broken.
There have now been multiple pickups full of police equipment LEAVING the east precinct. Yesterday framed items and boxes were seen leaving. A mobile shredding truck also arrived earlier. #seattleprotest #seattleprotestcomms
If they're abandoning the precincts, they certainly haven't told the residents of the buildings nearby. But they haven't been communicating anything to us this whole time.
My neighborhood spotted a moving truck earlier. That's new.

Alert! Cops tracked down a protestor from days ago and came with a fleet and arrested her and towed her car. 30 cops for 1 woman. #seattleprotests
This is what I’m hearing from neighbors. Screen recordings should be out soon.
They maced a mother and her child in their car and the mother was dragged out and arrested by 30 cops. DEA is tracking protestors and we are seeing that manifest. @MayorJenny what is going on? #seattleprotest
I'll be available for police scanner duty. Is there anyone on the ground who would like someone to monitor their city's scanners?
