Aside from the graffiti inside Seattle’s Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, that literally says “Kill Pigs,” there are barriers around the zone spray-painted with “No Police Zone.” People still seem to be relying on 911 when someone is shot, though, as when a 19-year-old was fatally shot over the weekend and another man injured among the festival-like atmosphere of CHOP.
A 17-year-old was shot this weekend, and the Seattle Police Department issued a statement confirming that the victim had been driven in a private vehicle to Harborview Medical Center, likely by CHOP medics. Seattle police say the victim “declined to speak with detectives.” They also reiterated that they do respond to 911 calls from the CHOP zone, and “officers will attempt to coordinate contact with victims and witnesses outside the protest zone.”

If CHOP is both autonomous and cop-free, why are people still calling 911?
“Delete that f**king s**t!” Check out this video that recorded the shooting:
.@ShawnGui_ was recording a livestream during the CHAZ shooting tonight. Afterward, a man interrogated him and stole his phone, demanding the footage be deleted. He didn't know the camera was still recording. This is what was captured: https://t.co/pAWm0CyxFB pic.twitter.com/yLhUKRdjyo

Awesome! Finally utopia is manifesting. What great, dear leaders in this region.

Could you start numbering these incidents? It will make it easier whether your tweet is about a new incident or an earlier one.
I will recommend numbering as SoL #1, SoL #2 etc.
SoL stands for “Summer Of Love” by the way.

I know our peace officers willingly go to help, but I think they should stop responding to all calls for help. Let the autonomous zone devolve into anarchy until they’re begging for the police to return!

Article says the 17 yr old victim declined to speak with the detectives. Seems even after getting injured they still don't want help so let them back into CHOP to continue destroying themselves. Won't be many left if they keep this up.

What is our current unofficial shooting count within CHAZ/CHOP?
— Alex Hoover (@SteelHoover) June 22, 2020
Police said they received reports of a possible second victim, so we think we’re up to … four?
It was a peaceful shooting though, right?

Can't wait to hear Jenny Dumpster twist herself into a pretzel on this one.

Seattle PD has jurisdiction in a foreign country?

They are allowed access to the DMZ formerly known as Cal Anderson Park.

Is there a petition or something we can sign in favor of police and against that zone? I understand a bunch of people want to hang out there and do whatever. But a bunch of people don't.

Probably not. That was under the old model of government. Now the news media gets funded to spin what you should want and elect politicians willing to defy common sense and do what they are told by their handlers. Lunacy.

For their safety the ARMED, TRAINED police and fire personnel do NOT enter CHOP….
But it’s OK for me to live here completely vulnerable and unaided?— M (@mellend2013) June 22, 2020
CHAZ special investigative unit is on it – no need for tax payer funded resources to get involved.

Friendly reminder that CHOP has a higher crime rate per capita than anywhere in the world.

CHOP CHOP mayor. It’s looking more like the Summer of Sam in CHAZ.

We’re old enough to get that … bravo.

I was told it was a peaceful love-feast type of place. That's what my travel agent told me when I booked my vacation there.
I wonder if I can cancel my trip? ?

And have they set up night classes yet? We remember hearing something about defunding the police and using the money for night classes.
