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.

Every time there's been a protest related death or crash or shooting in Seattle in the past month – every time – some immediately labeled it white supremacist violence. Every time that's been wrong. Stop inflaming tensions. Stop clouding these tragedies with false narratives.
-When a car drove into CHOP and shot a black protester, the suspect was called a white supremacist. He was Hispanic.
-When Lorenzo Anderson was killed, Kshama Sawant preemptively blamed right-wing violence. She had to retract.
-When CHOP security shot at an SUV, killing a 16yo and injuring a 14yo, there were reports the SUV was driven by white men. It wasn't.
-When a car horrifically drove into BLM protesters on I-5, it was called a repeat of Charlottesville. The driver was black and motive is unknown.

In her letter, Mayor Durkan takes particular issue with Councilwoman Sawant allegedly leading protesters to her house for a speech. For background, Mayor Durkan is part of Washington's Address Confidentiality Program due to her work as a United States Attorney. 1/4
The program exists to protect those who might be stalking/DV victims, as well as others who may be subject to credible threats on their lives. As a former U.S. Attorney for Seattle, the danger is particularly poignant given the 2001 murder of Tom Wales at his home in Seattle. 2/4
Durkan wrote in her letter that Sawant's protest at her home showed "reckless disregard of the safety of my family and children. In addition, during or after Councilmember Sawant’s speech at that rally, her followers vandalized my home by spray-painting obscenities." 3/4

BREAKING: This morning, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan transmitted a letter to the City Council, urging members to take action against Councilwoman Sawant, up to and including expulsion. The letter listed several accusations against Sawant that the mayor thinks are grounds to do so:
Including:

-Allowing hundreds of protesters into City Hall after hours, putting safety of city workers at risk
-Leading a protest to mayor's home, despite the fact her address is protected due to threats stemming from her work as U.S. Attorney
As well as:

-Using her position to encourage protesters to occupy city property (the East Precinct).
