how some of your average Seattle citizens react to continual perpetual protest: replies to a local blog (West Seattle Blog News 24/7) reporting objectively on a peaceful July 30 protest with photos

181 Replies to "PROTEST: Nighttime marchers back in West Seattle, this time in county executive's neighborhood"

More than several shouts of "moving out can't take this anymore"

No one, even those supportive, seems too inspired or enthused by whatever is being protested

BREAKING: Seattle City Council moves to abolish the entire Seattle Police Department and replace it with a "civilian led Department of Community Safety & Violence Prevention."

They want to replace the police force with nonprofit programs and "community-led activities." pic.twitter.com/JnFaWusvvv

In the proposed legislation, the council argues that the Seattle Police Department "[perpetuates] racism and violence" and upholds "white supremacy culture." pic.twitter.com/fYuHtyYWTG

The council endorses the "Decriminalize Seattle" agenda that would replace the police force with:

–"Culturally-relevant expertise rooted in community connections"
–"Housing, food security, and other basic needs"
–"Trauma-informed, gender-affirming, anti-racist praxis" pic.twitter.com/shtCgAIQTl

And finally, the plan demands that the City conduct an "immediate transfer of underutilized public land for BIPOC community ownership"—in essence, the redistribution of land, which is a hallmark of Marxist regimes. pic.twitter.com/9ENdRhFLWD

This is madness.

If Seattle moves forward with its plan to abolish the police and permanently close the region's largest jail, it will lead to the immediate collapse of public order.

But for now, the political class is following the mob. Beware.

This @SeattlePD officer says she joined the department after becoming a U.S. citizen to help better serve our Arabic-speaking community. On Saturday, she was hit by a rock during a riot in Seattle and tore her meniscus trying to move out of the way. Her story tonight on #Q13FOX. pic.twitter.com/P0Yj6oCQDU

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan described the deployment of federal agents to U.S. cities to quell gun violence "a dry run for martial law" and warned it could risk disenfranchising voters.https://t.co/AJmGtrfh9A

I still think she'd be a good

I still think she'd be a good VP candidate - She feels totally comfortable in her skin (which Harris doesnt feel to me), she's a walking Sister Souljah reminder of where things need to be and whats going too far, that "I'm a mother" Is a more downhome feel for family than the more glamorous Obamas (think "non-elites"), she just seems totally relatable, plus perhaps she helps regain some of that Southern demographic we've written off since 2000.

Go home, this is no time for war gaming (Waiting until dark yet, what's that all about, so it's more like a video game or the mob with torches after Frankenstein's monster? Sorry you can't go to raves, this is not a good substitute)

This speech still works: Go home. Vote. Learn the proper ways to protest.

Meanwhile, in other Washington State news, there's a pandemic going on:

I have indefinitely extended the pause on counties advancing phases in our Safe Start Plan.

Cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all on the rise in WA. It is irresponsible to continue opening until we get this virus back under control.#MaskUpWA pic.twitter.com/aKhKOyNXdQ

A repost of what I put earlier on the story on the old "Protest Reporting" thread, because it scrolled away.

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan: “Peaceful protests are good for our city and good for our country ... but in our city it is also a truth that arson, destruction, and violence have occurred and they undermine the push and need and voice for systemic change.” pic.twitter.com/xTtbpKjCNr
