In the lengthy blog post, the occupiers in Seattle demanded a number of outlandish provisions from their city and state governments, but here are ten of the most insane among them:
1. The abolition of the Seattle Police Department and the city’s courts. (“We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police,” the blog post reads. At least part of the police department’s funding would be reallocated to “Socialized Health and Medicine for the City of Seattle,” also known as free health care.)
2. Free college for the people of Washington state.
3. New trials for every violent black convicted inmate “by a jury of their peers in their community.”
4. The “unrestricted right” for prisoners to vote while incarcerated.
5. The abolition of imprisonment, which would be replaced by “accountability programs.”
6. Racially segregated hospitals in Seattle, with black health care workers for black patients.
7. Educations reforms in Washington state which focus on black and Native American history.
8. Reparations for “victims of police brutality.”
9. The abolition of evictions in the city, and an end to “gentrification.”
10. Mandated anti-bias training for jobs in the education, medical profession and media sectors throughout the state.
The list makes the situation clear; those occupying the area are no longer protesters, and any talk of another “summer of love” from Durkan is misplaced or disingenuous.
Seattle Democrats allowed protests following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis to get so out of control in their own city that they’ve lost a neighborhood and a police precinct.
Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee has downplayed the occupation, siding with Durkan and describing the situation as “peaceful,” while adding that the actions of the anarchists are “fundamentally American.”
I spoke with @MayorJenny and her team about the situation on Capitol Hill. Although unpermitted, and we should remember we are still in a pandemic, the area is largely peaceful. Peaceful protests are fundamentally American, and I am hopeful there will be a peaceful resolution.

Democrats have yet again let down law-abiding citizens and are allowing lawlessness to run unchecked, which has drawn the ire of Trump:
Radical Left Governor @JayInslee and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stopped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

These activists are not protesting for black lives. They are terrorists occupying an American neighborhood so they can forward a radical political agenda.
It isn’t clear how long Democratic leaders plan to allow this to go on, but the country and the world and now watching — as is the president.
If Democrats continue to blink, and actually negotiate with these people, the precedent is set: Law and order are dead for citizens under Democrat leadership.
