Patch: Seattle Police Leave East Precinct, Remove Barricades
SPD removed sensitive items and boarded up the East Precinct before opening up the surrounding streets to protesters Monday evening.
SEATTLE, WA — Following more than a week of protests outside the East Precinct that often ended in tear gas, pepper spray and flashbangs, the Seattle Police Department boarded up its windows, took down the barricades and opened up the streets.
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best announced a "decreasing footprint" around the area Monday afternoon, citing calls from demonstrators and local leaders for the department to adjust its posture. Demonstrators have gathered near a fortified barricade at 11th Avenue and East Pine Street daily, which the police chief has repeatedly called a "flashpoint."

WNU Editor: As bad as it may be in Seattle, the situation in Chicago is truly terrifying. You just have to listen to this leaked online conference call held by the [Chicago] mayor’s office to brief all 50 aldermen on the city’s response to the unrest touched off by the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police. It’s insane. Chicago’s own leaders are describing their city like a Mexican city controlled by violent drug cartels. The audio is posted here .... ‘What Are We Going To Have Left In Our Community?’ Aldermen React with Panic, Sorrow to Unrest (WTTW).

People need leadership and equality. The last part is a myth. No one is equal. So we burn until the strong become ruthless and unite us again.
Time for the Insurrection Act to be implemented in these areas perhaps? About a week ago Secretary of Defense Chief Esper had said "we are not in that situation now." At least in Seattle and Chicago if we're not in that situation "now" we've got to be getting close!! When POTUS floated this the main focus was on DC and NYC. Then the violence, while it didn't disappear, it tapered off. I think knowing the possibility exists spooked some of the leaders. If not "now" for Seattle and Chicago we've got to be getting close!!
Punx not dead 2020
I went to Chicago in 2014 to get a visa to go behind the curtain. Afterwards we walked around downtown on the Michigan Avenue, State Street& Millennium Park. About a block or two north of the Chicago River along one of those streets. 3 young (~18 to 25) black men (?) hanging around a carousel full of post card not attached to any store called out some rude comments. A policeman was just across the street and 3 storefronts down.
What am I going to do? Say something back? Get an altercation started? That is Chicago in good times during the Obama heyday and "We were 8 Years in Power."
There is a lot of hate.
There was more hate at the Chicago Cultural Center. The building was supposed to be a library. It war chiseled in stone on the outside of the building. Inside was a smorgasbord of liberal hate and identity politics. Looking back at it it is apparent that "All animals are equal but some are more equal the others." The LGBT were given small, claustrophobic rooms in the basement to display banners on how much they hate feminists and all others. African-American were given large, airy rooms on the second floor. A library was desecrated an turned into a Cultural enter so liberals could display their hate in full plumage. Not kidding the LGBT banners were quite colorful.
And in the Obama economy there were beggars on every corner. One corner had a 50-ish or 60-ish woman on a nice suit sitting in a wheelchair begging. Next time I'll go with a a camera, press credentials, and a flak jacket. It is currently Lori's Chicago. Now the beggar was also remarkable in that she was situated next to an east-west bridge (Not the interstate one) across the river. Maybe she was waiting for Union Station traffic from the burbs?
Chicago is a sh|thole. Lori can visit the barber, but you can't. She'll arrest people. She'll attend social events with the glitterati wile South Side burns.
Epic video rant by black woman unable to loot cell phone store because it’s guarded by ‘Ayrabs’
"A Chicago woman, evidently frustrated by armed guards at a local cell phone preventing her acquisition of new equipment during the recent rioting, tells us a lot about the state of thinking in the riot-American community. She’s not showing a lot of intersectional solidarity with Muslim immigrants, whom she denounces as not real Africans because they are from Morocco (she says), and at one point repeatedly yells, ”Burn them, Allah!” as she drives by,"
She drives by? She is so poor and so desperate, that she needs to loot, but she has a car?
Why would she need a cell phone. I though Obama gave her one? Remember the Obama Phone Lady of 2012?
