I don't know how I can be more clear about this: If the Seattle Police decide to retake their East Precinct, we will immediately have thousands of people on their doorstep, right back where we were last week. And we will be there every day. Every. Day.
I love CHAZ, I truly do, but we can’t forget that none of our demands have been met and if we don’t win this battle things will be worse for black ppl than before and the police will only be stronger. We must push forward and push hard. CHAZ is cool but it’s not the goal.
The police later that night inflicted chemical weapons & stun grenades on hundreds of protesters who didn’t do anything, didn’t drive a car into a group of ppl, definitely didn’t shoot anyone.
They are proving over & over again that they should not exist.

This person was shot stopping the asshole who drove a car into the crowd.
The people formed a human chain to protect him as they walked him to the medic tent then the ambulance.
The people pushed the car to the end of the street so it could be towed away from the protests.
We have to talk about what happened at the East Precinct today. Not just because a handful of heroes selflessly put themselves in danger to protect their community, but because it is perfectly illustrative why SPD is as dangerous as it is unnecessary.
The people put cones around & protected the bullet casing so it could be collected as evidence.
The people were the medics, the first responders.
The police did nothing. They didn’t even flinch when this asshole who had just shot someone walked towards them with a gun.
@JJusseroKIRO7 @SeattlePD Lol you fucking losers. So which one of those cops sells you mediocre blow? Good job pushing a false narrative. You know there are live feeds showing what actually happened right? At least do your research if you’re gonna lie to us.
@MayorJenny There are huge clouds of chemical gas & pepper spray above Capitol Hill. This is NOT a measured response. PULL IT BACK. We’ve been watching live feeds of the violence you’ve sanctioned via the SPD & we hold you accountable. #wwconverge#calmitdown
You know when ppl post photos of themselves having fun with their friends & it looks boring as shit like I literally have group texts more lit than that.
