Faced with growing pressure to crack down on an “occupied” protest zone following two weekend shootings, Seattle’s mayor said Monday that officials will move to wind down the blocks-long span of city streets taken over two weeks ago that President Donald Trump asserted is run by “anarchists.”
Mayor Jenny Durkan said the violence was distracting from changes sought by thousands of peaceful protesters opposing racial inequity and police brutality. She said at a news conference that the city is working with the community to bring the “Capitol Hill Occupied Protest” zone, or CHOP, to an end and that police soon would move back into a precinct building they had largely abandoned in the area.
Durkan also vowed to address some of the protesters’ demands, including investing more in Black communities, reimagining policing in cooperation with community leaders, and pushing for accountability measures and statewide reform of police unions.
The mayor did not give an immediate timeline for clearing out the occupation but said “additional steps” would be examined if people don’t leave voluntarily. With scores of people camping in a park in the protest zone, Durkan said peaceful demonstrations could continue, but nighttime disorder had to stop.

Right after you are done SUE the mayor for hamstring the police in NOT to do their jobs. She allowed it to happen she should pay for ALL the damages
Anarchist would have nothing to do with BLM,Rainbow,Republician,Democrat,KKK,Govenment I.e. anarchis .
"Look it up".
These people want equality on one hand and one the other want their own police free side of a town ,
She will never follow through - too much of a coward to act sensibly. All of us sudden we see all the major blue cities have women mayors and women police chiefs, neither can manage to deal with any stressful situation.
Do not give that pig federal dollars to repair her marxist dung heap. She can get the money from george soros, china or the u.n.. She should be lynched for dereliction of duty and complicity in the deaths, rapes and looting along with burning businesses.
This is ridiculous. There is no leadership. That's why Trump needs to take charge. He is a strong and decisive leader. So, he needs to control everything from the federal government to states down to municipalities. Guess what! This lawless zone would have been cleaned up within 24 hours if that much.
Unfortunetly He can't. It is not in his Constitutional powers.
Just watch him! Besides, any real American patriot is totally behind Trump anyway. It will be fine. He really has to take control over the entire country. Don't you think so?
No, we need a return to constitutional government under a biblical world view, not a dictatorship, nor a government that thinks it is god.
No, We did not elect or want a dictator.
Who says we want a dictator? Real American patriots want a strong leader because that's the only way to make America great again and to compete against other countris who have a strong leader like Russia and China. That's all. If President Trump has to keep fighting the fake news and opposition from all corners of the country (deep state, judges, rinos, demorats,....) he can't focus on what matters: Make America Great Again! - I guess for you guys it's ok that the fake news, the deep state, etc etc etc can continue working against President Trump and therefore against the good of the country.
