The Seattle Police Department tweeted at about 3:45 a.m. local time that officers were investigating a shooting near 12th Avenue and Pike Street.The Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, or CHOP, was established earlier this month by demonstrators protesting police brutality and the killing of George Floyd after the Seattle Police Department vacated the East Precinct there.
One man who was brought to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle following Monday morning's shooting died, Susan Gregg, a spokesperson for the hospital, said. Another man was in critical condition at Harborview., and on June 22, Seattle officials ordered those occupying the area to leave. Seattle officials said Sunday that CHOP would be dismantled, but it remained intact as of the nighttime, NBC affiliate KING reported.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said last week that officers would return to the East Precinct, but she did not say when.
When violence erupts between civilians, it's newsworthy, but when a cop harms peaceful protesters, it isn't? Cool. Cool cool cool.
Guess who’s to blame? You
Why do there always have to be victims before Democrats do the right thing?
JayInslee MayorJenny and SeattleCouncil are RESPONSIBLE for this.
I guess people can't govern themselves after all. 🤷
Unforgiveable for this mayor to allow this to keep going on.
This is pretty hilarious.
It's called anarchy !
White supremacists are shooting protestors hiding behind and by the police... this is what America get for letting these racist police officers killing black folks for centuries, now this gang is grown and is threatening everybody's freedom, sad !
but it's just a 'summer of love' festival the mayor said.
It's strange that people who are actually living the Freedom that is essential to the fundamental American social contract is seen to be more of a threat than ACTUAL tyranny and violence. People are SO weird.
Go home! CHOP
Expanded background checks for CHOP now! End the festival loophole!
