Seattle PD shuts down Antifa s plans for election night CHAZ riot, several arrests made | The Post Millennial | thepostmillennial.com
On Tuesday night, Seattle police shut down an Antifa direct action near the deadly CHAZ/CHOP anarchist zone in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Several left-wing militants were arrested on criminal charges, which resulted in the group dispersing for the evening, foiling Antifa’s plan to riot on Election Day. The charges varied from property damage to defying police orders.
Seattle police maintained a substantial presence on the ground, preventing Antifa from conducting serious acts of illegal activity in the same neighborhood the militants forcefully seized control of during the 2020 George Floyd riots. Nearly 100 SPD officers followed the group on bikes and cars after they vandalized property and marched unlawfully in the street. Police issued announcements to the group throughout the night over an LRAD speaker and a police helicopter circled the militants demanding the agitators remain lawful over a loudspeaker. At least five arrests were made, police said.
Well that was easy.
