Seattle Police Try to Take Back CHOP/CHAZ East Precinct Station! - LIVE Video!

Seattle police will soon return to the East Precinct, said Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan during a Monday, June 22, 2020 press conference.  And rumor has it the Seattle Police will be retaking the Seattle Police Dept East Precinct starting at 5 am on Friday, June 26, 2020.  So of course we will be live streaming starting at 5 am!!!!  If there are unexpected changes to the scheduling of the police reentering the East Precinct we will keep you apprised.  This is kind of a fluid situation with truly an unknown outcome.    

Police left the precinct on June 8, after days of protests against police brutality.

After police vacated the precinct, protesters took over the space adjacent to Cal Anderson Park, filling it with art, discussion, tents, and supplies. It was first dubbed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), and later renamed to be the Capitol Hill Occupied/Organized Protest (CHOP) area.

But now……”It’s time for people to go home,” Durkan said.

The end is near for Seattle’s Capitol Hill CHOP neighborhood (formerly known as CHAZ).  After 3 separate shootings involving 4 people leaving 1 dead within a 4 day period the Seattle City Mayor and Seattle City Police Chief are in agreement that law needs to be restored to the area.
