BREAKING: Judge Robart has granted temporary restraining order request by @TheJusticeDept that should block #Seattle crowd control weapon ban from taking effect and maintain status quo which maintains previous TRO blocking @SeattlePD use of CCW. Awaiting written order @KIRORadio
I believe the net result of this allows SPD more wiggle room to use crowd control weapons if Chief Best authorizes under specific conditions, which was allowed under the TRO-turned injunction issued by a different judge.
Important note :Judge Robart stressed TRO was to be very "temporary" as he wants to stay on track to get report on impact of @SeattleCouncil CCW ord. from accountability partners on 8/15 & hear more on impact to consent decree/SPD policy 1 wk after. @KIRORadio #seattleprotests
Here is the previous order from Judge Jones that will remain in effect & be the law of the land during weekends protests documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?ur… @KIRORadio #seattleprotests
