Seattle police union chief calls for ‘leadership’ after fatal shooting in CHOP zone

The head of Seattle’s police union lamented the lack of “leadership” in the city Saturday after reports emerged that an early morning shooting in the so-called ‘CHOP’ left one person dead and another in critical condition.

By Fox News, June 19, 2020:

According to The Seattle Times, police homicide and assault detectives are investigating the shooting, citing a post on the Seattle Police Department’s blotter.

“On June 20th, at approximately 2:30 AM, East Precinct officers responded to a report of shots fired in Cal Anderson Park,” a statement on the blotter said.

“This is inside the area referred to as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP). Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims. Officers were later informed that the victims, both males, had been transported to Harborview Medical Center by CHOP medics.

“Officers responded to Harborview and were informed that one of the victims, a 19-year-old male, had died from injuries. The other victim, also a male, unknown age, remains in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.”

In an interview on “Fox & Friends Weekend” with host Pete Hegseth Saturday, Seattle Police Officers Guild President Michael Solan remarked that it is “no longer the summer of love” like Democratic Mayor Jenny Durkan claimed, but the “summer of chaos.”

“Early this morning, that violence was raw and real where one of our community members lost their life and police are still not allowed into that area and were prevented to providing that police service to the area to locate victors and/or render aid. [It’s] very troubling what’s going on,” Solan said.

SPD’s closest East Precinct building lies abandoned following days of tense confrontations with protesters in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

“It can’t stand in America, and this is a direct result of city leadership, elected officials failing the reasonable community of Seattle to enforce the rule of law,” Solan told Hegseth. “And, this just isn’t the area occupied in a six-block zone where police are still forbidden and still don’t have their East precinct. This is now impacting our entire city.”

According to Solan, the department’s West precinct was also defaced with anti-police graffiti overnight.

“And again, we’re left wondering what’s next?” he asked. “And, now our elected officials have removed our ability to have less lethal chemical munitions that are effective for us to disburse unruly violent crowds to protect those police facilities — let alone ourselves.”

“So, we’re in a very, very troubling time in Seattle and it’s deeply concerning that…Everybody across this country needs to be aware of what’s going on in Seattle,” he urged.

But, as protests have now continued for a month in the liberal Pacific Northwest metropolis, Solan does not yet see a solution or compromise on the horizon.

“Well, you’re going to have to have the political backbone to finally enforce the rule of law, because if this continues to spiral down — which we saw earlier this morning with a homicide — I don’t see what the remedy is,” he admitted.

“So, we need leadership now more than ever,” asserted Solan. “And, I find it ironic that the same public officials [who] are creating these decisions that put everybody’s public safety at risk are now calling out for defunding the police. And, those two aren’t compatible.”
“You can’t have ‘defunding the police’ and better police services because the first thing to go — as you and I both know, Pete — is training. And, if you remove the training budget, you remove quality police service,” he concluded. “And, we know that separating good cops from bad is all about training.”

BEEN there, done that
Lenin:
“People always have been and they always will be stupid victims of deceit and self-deception in politics.””The suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without violent revolution.””How can you make a revolution without executions?””You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.””We can’t expect to get anywhere unless we resort to terrorism””Those who are opposed to armed uprising … must be ruthlessly kicked out as enemies, traitors and cowards.””Dictatorship is rule based directly upon force and unrestricted by any laws. The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is rule won and maintained by the use of violence by the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, rule that is unrestricted by any laws.”—————“In the end, one or the other will triumph – a funeral dirge will be sung over the Soviet republic or over world capitalism.”

You can count on them turning on one another.
We shouldn’t have interfered and let them learn to appreciate police and medical people.

Unfortunately tyrant culture just begets more tyrant culture. That’s why most of the 196 UN countries still have tyrant governments.

Things are STILL a lot better than post Civil War Missouri. Vindictive post-war Democrat bands were wiping out whole Republican towns and villages. That went on for years.

“The Struggle for Missouri”
“The war ended in April 1865, but … Newly freed African Americans …continued to be the targets of discriminatory violence at the hands of white men who opposed their newfound status. Many guerrilla fighters pursued the same activities in the era of Reconstruction as they did during the war, continuing their exploits as thieves and murderers.

If they insist on their walled in hell, we should stay out of it.
Let them shoot each other up. Why get involved now?
Lenin is their hero.

True, given a short time and they will implode, just like the USSR.

You don’t just take over sections of the country and declare autonomy – the lilly livered worthless P’s OS supposedly running Shit-attle need to be held as an accessory to murder for allowing that to happen on their so called ” watch “

Untouched of course – unfuc-ing believable – every last one of those P’s OS needs to be deported to the communist country of their choice – see how far they get with their BS then –

Lenin would have them all shot – because Lenin was the farthest thing from the useful idiots that comprise the Seattle city council, the mayor, and of course, the spineless Jay Inslee.

1. ALL cell service should be cut off to that area
2. No food should be allowed in.
3. No water should be allowed in
4. Portapotties should be removed
5. Let them stay there as long ans they can with no food or water or cell service, THEN let’s see what happens. They will soon be forced to leave. There is no other way to get rid of that kind of vermin.

What would the “best” plan be? If they don’t have access to food, water, phone service, it would work perfectly.

There are innocents that are unfortunate enough to live there. The way to fix this problem is to send in the National Guard and “retake” the area, then have the police resume patrols, the way it should have been handled from the beginning. Initiate recall elections Mayor and Governor.

use the tactic of Julius Cesar and besiege the besiegers – kill anything that comes out of that zone

So, a black man was shot in the peace and love area. I guess they are all racists, following their “logic” of course. I think we should protest against them and take over a few city blocks!
