Seattle journos refuse to help Katie Daviscourt after seeing ANTIFA assault and ROB her (thread)

All we can say after reading this entire thread about a KING 5 Seattle journo/photographer ignoring Katie Davis after she was robbed and assaulted by ANTIFA right in front of him is … wow. Guess we shouldn’t be surprised since it’s Seattle and a complete shiznit-hole but still.

You’d think the a-holes would at least help her call the police? Yeah?

But nope.

Wonder if this is what KING 5 Seattle wants to be known for. Ignoring a fellow journalist who needs help because of politics?

Yikes.

Disgusting behavior from a @KING5Seattle photographer. He wouldn't call police or allow robbery victim @KatieDaviscourt to use his phone to call police.

While covering an #Antifa direct action outside Brewmaster's Taproom in Renton, WA., Antifa militants assaulted & robbed her. https://t.co/UZ3ayYwML2

So since he disagrees with Katie politically … he refused to help her? Really?

LATEST UPDATE: What an ordeal for @KatieDaviscourt. She's ok, but mad as hell. She wanted me to get the word out since she still does not have a phone!@RentonpdWA must find this FAR LEFT militant who robbed her. Entire region needs to stop putting up with this ANTIFA violence. pic.twitter.com/Vu5ewpXMVr

The entire region gave up a long time ago.

Not sure there is any helping them.

SPEECHLESS: This is a new low. There is a code among journalists to get each other’s backs in the field. But this @KING5Seattle photog does not even allow @KatieDaviscourt to use his phone to call 911, while the FAR LEFT/ANTIFA loser mocks Katie. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/XPvlT5tcxB

Not even a code – just common human decency.

STUNNING LACK OF ACTION: @KatieDaviscourt said no other reporter or photog from #Seattle’s mainstream media core today helped her call 911 after the ANTIFA assault and robbery.

“They didn’t want to get involved.”

They didn’t want to get involved.

Cowards.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA? Nearby @RentonpdWA mobile cams were up. Also, @KatieDaviscourt was recording when assault happened. If it backed up on iCloud, we could possibly get a look at this ANTIFA criminal. But Katie says he was wearing a mask. Typical ninja cosplay/Halloween costume. pic.twitter.com/0KXGeUlemK

Wearing a mask … probably to save Grandma.

WE’RE KIDDING.

COMRADE FROM HELL: “christinas_comrades” is an ANTIFA/FAR LEFT militant who has been a thorn in the side of @KatieDaviscourt. However, her footage today actually corroborated Katie’s experience as other #Seattle media refused to let her use their cell phone to call 911. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/X4ECoAilvW

Look at that. We’d say we’re shocked but we’d be lying.

STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED: I was arriving to the scene when @KatieDaviscourt frantically waved me down. I stayed with her until an officer arrived, then I walked with Katie to the nearby @RentonpdWA HQ to file an assault and theft report. #Renton pic.twitter.com/sfM3AAR8wI

I was robbed by Antifa today reporting on a Drag Queen Story Hour protest in Renton, WA.

The stole my phone after mobbing me.

I lost all my footage but luckily the police camera tower will have the robbery on file.

Thank you to journalist @choeshow for having my back!
