As Twitchy reported earlier, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan had finally had enough of the fatal “summer of love” on Capitol Hill and at 5 a.m. ordered its removal, ASAP. It took her long enough, but she was smart enough to send in police officers with “additional protective gear,” considering how unhinged and/or armed some of the CHOP citizens were.
What didn’t take long was turning the CHOP “block party” into a pile of debris. City crews moved in quickly once police had cleared the way.

See, that wasn’t so hard. As far as we know no one was shot and killed, unlike when CHOP was up and running.
The city is wasting no time dismantling the #CHOP. I’m actually surprised by how fast this is going. pic.twitter.com/yvyHFyREqU

So much beautiful artwork destroyed.
Looks like @SeattlePD is now putting in new cement barriers around their East Precinct. #CHOP pic.twitter.com/POLlBz0jEA

So he’s saying the East Precinct belongs to the Seattle Police Department again? That’s good news! Here are some other shots of the fall of CHOP:

City workers found improvised spike strips at CHOP, presumably created by the Antifa goons playing security force dress-up. pic.twitter.com/coJIiT6D0H

Like most progressives, the citizens of CHOP understood the importance of securing their borders. The first thing they did was build a wall, after all.
