As Twitchy reported, militant activists have taken over a six-block section of Seattle, including an abandoned police precinct, and declared it the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” releasing a list of demands that must be met before they relinquish control of the area. One of those demands was a 100 percent defunding of the Seattle Police Department, including pensions, with the money being redirected toward things like free public housing and socialized medicine.
Those in the autonomous zone have no love for the police, but it seems that they need someone to keep order in their new country. Reports say that the zone has its own “warlord” now, who had a run-in with a vandal spray-painting a business.
#SeattleAutonomousZone now has a warlord. It’s been 2 days. pic.twitter.com/9Eu5ALrINU

Policing in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone by @RazSimone. There appear to be no body cameras, reports, or oversight and accountability. This was an attempt at de-escalation for spraying paint onto a building which resulted in an alleged assault. #chaz #FreeCapitolHill pic.twitter.com/dI1J6QNcpn

These geniuses figured out that they need to have policing and point one of their plan is to abolish the police.

A Seattle local named Raz Simone established himself and his crew as the police of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. He's a warlord, and his crew is assaulting anyone who steps out of line.
Unlike real police, there's no accountability or discipline. It's just violence. pic.twitter.com/196ZiN2Ihh

"I'm guessing he made himself in control since he has all the guns."
Sad part is they probably really did not see that coming.

That any of them are the least bit surprised or chagrined about this is so adorable.

It's all fine, they just need to send in some trained negotiators. And a social worker. And Planned Parenthood. Then he'll stand down.

Yeah, this is big improvement over traditional law enforcement.

I have no sympathy for anyone involved in that. I fully support sending in troops to take of this situation. They are either citizens or foreign invaders they can’t have it both ways

I’m fresh out of pity for all involved.

I’m just waiting for them to form a police union.

It’s what they wanted, let them enjoy the fruits of their nature.

I dont know many details of this little world they have tried to make but the concept seems hilarious. I’ll sit back with popcorn watching it unfold. I say let them have it and cut off public water and electricity and leave then alone for a while. Its like building a fort

????? I give them 24 hours until they’re begging for the real police to come back.

Wait until they get those night classes up and running before judging. Those will fix things.
“Capital Hill Autonomous Zone,” sounds like woke show on Netflix. They’re “autonomous,” but with Seattle DoT providing toilets.

Grown adults literally made a fort in the middle of the city why is this not being live-streamed with a laugh track.

Update:
Raz Simone, a Seattle local, stated he belongs to the “People’s Force,” a replacement for Seattle PD in #FreeCapitolHill. On June 8th in a live video he advised that unfamiliar faces should be stopped, questioned, and checked to see if they’re armed, similar to “Stop and Frisk.” pic.twitter.com/QsM5YR0xuW

Antifa doesn't oppose police. What Antifa, a domestic terrorist organization, opposes is police who are accountable to elected officials and the laws they pass. Antifa's model is the Soviet Stasi of East Berlin: a secret police state run by totalitarians. https://t.co/UOUfiVB2SS
