Hundreds of protesters, aided by a sympathetic City Council member, stormed Seattle's City Hall Tuesday night to demand the mayor's resignation, just days after seizing a six-block downtown zone that includes a shuttered police precinct.
Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.
The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ)-- a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct-- which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday.

Should we tell these ANTIFA losers they're not "autonomous" if they're leaving to buy food, using city water and electricity? lol.

So they want to ban police, yet they have armed guards.... basically a police force. They have taken over property that does not belong to them, they are extorting money from the shopkeepers who are in this zone. Where are they getting their money from to feed everyone? Who is backing them?

No wonder that mayor is saying it like a lovefest or other bullshit reason to not break it up and she has no idea how long they were going to be there. Meanwhile police can’t answer calls and the people who do live there legit are pissed off.
