SEATTLE MAYOR COMPARES ARMED OCCUPATION OF HER OWN CITY TO A ‘BLOCK PARTY:’

Police in Seattle returned to the East Precinct which was abandoned when Antifa-led protestors took over a six-block area of the city earlier this week. On Thursday afternoon, officers entered the precinct and tensions remain high at this hour.

 

During a joint press conference with Chief of Police Carmen Best and Mayor Jenny Durkan, Durkan blamed Trump and his narrative for everything that’s happening in downtown Seattle. She denied that there are armed militants, even though press has covered it.

 

Durkan compared the abandoning of the East Precinct and the the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone to a block party.

 

When asked about the occupation, she said, “We’ve had blocks of Seattle and Capitol Hill shut down every summer from everything from block parties to Pride and this is really not much of an operational challenge.”

 

Meanwhile, this is how AP describes the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone:”

 

Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood where protesters have created a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.

 

The kicker? That AP article is on the Snopes.com(!) Website. As Frank J. Fleming tweets, “You can only trust The Babylon Bee any more.”

I’d compare the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” to the Lord of the Flies, but as its author finally admitted, “The real Lord of the Flies is a tale of friendship and loyalty; one that illustrates how much stronger we are if we can lean on each other.”

Trump continues to embrace white supremacy. What a tactic. 

 


Such a uniter, right @Buffalogal?

 

They were uninvited likely for the same reason that Trump is going to Tulsa during Juneteenth.  Wink wink nudge nudge to the white supremacist scumbags who support him.

Meanwhile people are protesting because there was yet another in what is becoming an overwhelming number of videos in which a black person was killed for no good reason by someone acting under color of law, and Trump's reaction is to suggest that the victim would have been pleased by some bogus economic numbers that the administration ginned up in a ham-handed attempt to distract from the one thing that has successfully unified the vast majority of this country in the past 3.5 years.  

 

A real Christian would acknowledge the righteousness of people who simply want to be treated the same as everyone else.

She has to.  Her seat is very hot. City  Council Person Kshama Sawant says Durkan should resign. If she doesn't, Sawant will impeach her.  Sawant has a lot of support.

 

She's trying to outrun the mob.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind if Trump took the action she is baiting him into and a few "block partiers" got killed.  It would help her more if they were black but anyone dead would work.  And the beauty is that it doesn't have to be Trump.  It could be a cop or someone else.  Maybe something could happen like a heart attack and a slow 911 response would do the trick.  If someone dies she'll be all set.

 

Her national status would be elevated and maybe she could even get a cushy cabinet position.  Her weakness in standing up to the smelly hippies in the commie zone is also her strength.  Any worries about impeachment from her left are tempered by bigger ambitions.

 

Side note:. If some right wing block partiers took over some patch of land in Montana in 2014 and declared it sovreign, would Obama have done anything?  Drone strike off the table?

To be fair the chief shouldn't be comparing day to day numbers based on geography.  He should look at what happens at typical block parties for a comparable.  Some neighbor's booze it up and there is a fracas or two.  Meh.

Does anyone think it’s hilarious that the Seattle mayor appears to be blaming what’s happening in her city on a guy in an office on the other side of the country? Hey Ms Mayor! You ever think it might be your own failure? It’s like blaming the FDA because the local Health Department shut your restaurant down for having rats running around in the kitchen. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS!

I'm not defending the CHAZ, but I would absolutely expect the number of calls to artificially inflate when the response from the police is 'we aren't allowed there' rather than resolving the issue.

 

Are the calls coming in BEFORE the police responds?

Isn't that typically the case? People call 911 to get the police to respond. But there's audio up thread of an officer responding to a call by informing them that it is an autonomous zone and they should call the leadership there instead.

Following the Ray Nagin / Kathleen Blanco playbook.  Neglected the fact that Blanco wasn't reelected.

Correct, and the police chief was referring to the 911 calls, not the police response.   Why would the CHAZ residents start calling the police?

Obama definitely fanned the flames and set race relations back to before the '60s. For a man that could have united, he definitely was the great divider-in-chief.

 

Still waiting for feedback on how Obama fanned the flames and set race relations back to before the '60s?

 

Specific, concrete examples... you know; kinda stuff like THIS:

 

As Americans Shift on Racism, Trump Digs In

 

At Dallas talk on police and race, Trump shrugs off 'bad apples’ and again vows to ‘dominate the streets’

 

The White House took heat for excluding the county’s three top law enforcement officials, who are all black, from an event that at times felt much like a campaign rally, albeit far smaller than usual for Trump

 

This is just one week... such a great uniter-in-chief - right @Buffalogal
