Snohomish County, WA – At least two hundred Black Lives Matter protesters descended on the private home of Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best in Snohomish County on Saturday only to be pushed away by the chief’s neighbors.
Protesters began arriving in the quiet neighborhood where Chief Best lives just before 7 p.m. on Aug. 1, the Lynnwood Times reported.
The police chief was not home at the time but witnesses said that neighbors saw unfamiliar vehicles going up and down Chief Best’s street and figured out what was happening.
Protestors on their way to harass the Seattle police chief @carmenbest at her home, encountered locals who were not in the mood to host protests in their neighborhood.

This is something: Seattle’s police chief posts letter to City Council, calling on them to denounce protesters who showed up at her home in Snohomish Co. “My neighbors were concerned by such a large group, but they were successful in ensuring the crowd was not able to trespass..” https://t.co/4SxFWTxH1a pic.twitter.com/bFynHRnUED
