Running as their operations base with a gofundme demanding $200k. People have willfully donated $150k so far. Theyre asking someone to donate another hotel. Claiming its a sanctuary to protect protesters from the police and shelter the homeless. Turns out the riots were organized with bricks, cement filled bottles, gasoline and a network of scouts on bicycles able to move amongst the masses quicker than police. Antifa in seattle have taken over the capitol. More clearly the city officials have given it up willfully to show solidarity. The police left and antifa barricaded themselves in as many are now wearing bulletproof vests and riot gear. 7 square blocks with AR15 armed guards taking shifts keeping opposition out. The mayor and council persons are encouraging it. Theres even an antifa debit card for its preferred members. The insurrection is happening. Rome is burning. Doing nothing seems to be working really well. Years of propaganda has conditioned americans to say nothing afraid to speak up in fear of the cancel culture and all its repercussions. Not only watching but encouraging everyone to participate. They have released their list of demands. Straight up terrorists overrunning cities. This is why you never relent to said groups. But in the end our elected officials will allow them to destroy everyone and everything as more power is always the motivation. America is being destroyed, the MSM is covering it up and we are allowing it all to happen by staying silent. I dont think we can be silent any longer. _______________________________________________________________________________ Their list of demands. Given the historical moment, we’ll begin with our demands pertaining to the Justice System. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely. No guns, no batons, no riot shields, no chemical weapons, especially against those exercising their First Amendment right as Americans to protest. We demand an end to the school-to-prison pipeline and the abolition of youth jails. Get kids out of prison, get cops out of schools. We also demand that the new youth prison being built in Seattle currently be repurposed. We demand that not the City government, nor the State government, but that the Federal government launch a full-scale investigation into past and current cases of police brutality in Seattle and Washington, as well as the re-opening of all closed cases reported to the Office of Police Accountability. In particular, we demand that cases particular to Seattle and Washington be reopened where no justice has been served, namely the cases of Iosia Faletogo, Damarius Butts, Isaiah Obet, Tommy Le, Shaun Fuhr, and Charleena Lyles. We demand reparations for victims of police brutality, in a form to be determined. We demand that the City of Seattle make the names of officers involved in police brutality a matter of public record. Anonymity should not even be a privilege in public service. We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community. We demand decriminalization of the acts of protest, and amnesty for protestors generally, but specifically those involved in what has been termed “The George Floyd Rebellion” against the terrorist cell that previously occupied this area known as the Seattle Police Department. This includes the immediate release of all protestors currently being held in prison after the arrests made at 11th and Pine on Sunday night and early Saturday morning June 7th and 8th, and any other protesters arrested in the past two weeks of the uprising, the name Evan Hreha in particular comes to mind who filmed Seattle police macing a young girl and is now in jail. We demand that the City of Seattle and the State Government release any prisoner currently serving time for a marijuana-related offense and expunge the related conviction. We demand the City of Seattle and State Government release any prisoner currently serving time just for resisting arrest if there are no other related charges, and that those convictions should also be expunged. We demand that prisoners currently serving time be given the full and unrestricted right to vote, and for Washington State to pass legislation specifically breaking from Federal law that prevents felons from being able to vote. We demand an end to prosecutorial immunity for police officers in the time between now and the dissolution of the SPD and extant justice system. We demand the abolition of imprisonment, generally speaking, but especially the abolition of both youth prisons and privately-owned, for-profit prisons. We demand in replacement of the current criminal justice system the creation of restorative/transformative accountability programs as a replacement for imprisonment. We demand autonomy be given to the people to create localized anti-crime systems. We demand that the Seattle Police Department, between now and the time of its abolition in the near future, empty its “lost and found” and return property owned by denizens of the city. We demand justice for those who have been sexually harassed or abused by the Seattle Police Department or prison guards in the state of Washington. We demand that between now and the abolition of the SPD that each and every SPD officer turn on their body cameras, and that the body camera video of all Seattle police should be a matter of easily accessible public record. We demand that the funding previously used for Seattle Police be redirected into: A) Socialized Health and Medicine for the City of Seattle. B) Free public housing, because housing is a right, not a privilege. C) Public education, to decrease the average class size in city schools and increase teacher salary. D) Naturalization services for immigrants to the United States living here undocumented. (We demand they be called “undocumented” because no person is illegal.) E) General community development. Parks, etc. We also have economic demands that must be addressed. We demand the de-gentrification of Seattle, starting with rent control. We demand the restoration of city funding for arts and culture to re-establish the once-rich local cultural identity of Seattle. We demand free college for the people of the state of Washington, due to the overwhelming effect that education has on economic success, and the correlated overwhelming impact of poverty on people of color, as a form of reparations for the treatment of Black people in this state and country. We demand that between now and the abolition of the SPD that Seattle Police be prohibited from performing “homeless sweeps” that displace and disturb our homeless neighbors, and on equal footing we demand an end to all evictions. We demand a decentralized election process to give the citizens of Seattle a greater ability to select candidates for public office such that we are not forced to choose at the poll between equally undesirable options. There are multiple systems and policies in place which make it impractical at best for working-class people to run for public office, all of which must go, starting with any fees associated with applying to run for public office. Related to economic demands, we also have demands pertaining to what we would formally call “Health and Human Services.” We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients. We demand the people of Seattle seek out and proudly support Black-owned businesses. Your money is our power and sustainability. We demand that the city create an entirely separate system staffed by mental health experts to respond to 911 calls pertaining to mental health crises, and insist that all involved in such a program be put through thorough, rigorous training in conflict de-escalation. And the worst of it all, theyve cancelled the only redeeming show on television in LivePD because of this shit (actually under review). Unforgivable. Cops has already gotten the ax after surviving 25 years. Gone with the Wind is no more and with it much of american culture and history as every statue of everything comes down. And the new LSU president has already caved. The Troy H. Middleton library which was already a shithole but still is no more in name. Where does it end. It wont unless we stop it.
Did we somehow get transported to the Bizzaro planet? If you are black you get a black doctor. Should be interesting hearing the brothas demanding a white doctor
I get teased and slammed for being the old guy here most of it in jest of course I actually enjoy it. I am old but that has a silver lining in that I have accumulated knowledge and experience and even wisdom. With that said I have been seeing this coming for years and don't look now IT'S HERE just as Tirk has posted. This is why I slam liberals and democrats here and get banned for it at times now I could care less as now we see what the democrat party has in store for us. Not only are they taking over police stations and city halls they are tearing down all statues not satisfied with that they are now going after the flag which is us. We are next. Just the simple fact that everyone in America is a minority except white males and CO2 a harmless byproduct of breathing and the building block of life on earth has been designated a pollutant should tell you we are in trouble. This is not protest this is an insurrection a coup a takeover. The mayor's of Seattle, Minneapolis and New York are getting a taste of what they asked for, anarchy. All three of these pussy mayor's are as liberal as it gets yet the mob (the left and or democrats) in all three of these cities are being demanded they resign by the mob. My vote is not so much for Trump although I like the guy it's a vote against all democrats, the media and academia all who have created this mess we are in today. The next vote is not so much for a person or a party but for your country. All over the country and even some here had better look into their souls and understand what's happening and what needs to be done. Better prepare yourself the mob will eventually come to a neighborhood near you.
Portland not to be outdone. https://twitter.com/i/status/1270961215389351937 heres what happens when you defund the police. https://twitter.com/i/status/1270866255944318977 btw, this is a girl. The soul of america is being torn apart as is mine as I watch these neanderthals destroy anything in their path. these liberal states are allowing this to happen only to hurt trump in november. they'll destroy the country to do so and send everyone else to the slaughter. At least their m.o. should be clear to all involved now. theyve shown their hand. the statue falling on this idiots head and cracking his skull open is the least surprising thing ive seen. I guess they werent aware how heavy these things can be. Heres a good view. https://twitter.com/i/status/1270915992722345985 the irony they needed police and emts immediately is lost on no one but themselves. Your message howeveris lost in your delivery. People may agree with you but they hate you so much theyre not gonna have discourse. And this is a forum for discussion.
Here's what I would do if I were president. Federalize the Minnesota and Washington National Guards. Send them in to seal off the Minneapolis Sheraton, ring it with troops. In Washington, roadblocks at every street entering this so-called Capitol Hill Autonymous Zone. In both places, cut all utilities. Nothing is allowed in, no people, no supplies of any kind. Anyone attempting to come out is considered an Antifa member and is arrested for domestic terrorism. Let's see who caves first. Edit: Seeing where in Seattle, they've declared the CHAZ is no longer part of America. So I guess we don't have to treat them as domestic terrorists, they have declared themselves foreigners. Also, can't help but notice from the footage coming out of there that the first thing they did was put up a fence around their "country." I thought fences don't work, and are racist?
Fuck that .... anyone trying to leave is considered an enemy combatant and shot on the spot! I’d agree with you but unless they are headed for Alcatraz for the rest of their life, no appeals, no parole, no nothing, I say just shoot em. Hell of a lot cheaper. Of course, thankfully, I live in the middle of nowhere’sville so this urban shit don’t bother me much. It’s just city folk being city folk. The hoodlums running wild and the good people apologizing for imaginary grievances.
I think they abandoned it and was seeking another. Had an overdose with a junkie or two and they were already running out of food bc well homeless people are hungry and were stealing it. Goddamn stop it you idiots. We are deeply sorry’: Lady Antebellum changes name to Lady A
