Seattle police Chief Carmen Best said there is no “cop-free” zone in the city after a local business owner said he called 911 more than a dozen times when protesters vandalized his business but police never showed up.
“There is no cop-free zone in the city of Seattle,” Best said. “I think that the picture has been painted in many areas that shows the city is under siege. That is not the case.”
Best was referring to the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), previously called CHAZ, a six-block area near downtown Seattle that includes a police precinct that was abandoned amid escalating tensions with George Floyd protesters.
John McDermott, who owns an auto shop just outside of the CHOP, told KIRO-TV a protester broke into his store, stole money from his cash register and tried to set fire to the building. The owner's son said he detained the suspect.
Do we need the cops or just let it be.
Where there is no cops, the outcome, fairness, protection, etc. Will be lost for all.
