I don’t. We’ve spent far too long being comfortable with racism and bullshit policing. We need to be uncomfortable as hell for a good while.

Some time ago on TOS I proposed that a statue of that man be erected next to every Confederate statue that remained in the South to give them a powerful sense of context.

People like you are why there is a kids table and an adults table. You and teammate are throwing a tantrum because no one listens to your bullshit in the CR so you go annoy the adults to get the attention you crave. 
 

And hilarious how some one not buying into your hysteria makes you stroke your gun. You seem stable.

I’m not sad this shitty excuse of a texags thread has died, along with its premise.  I won’t wish that you do us the same courtesy, but I’ll damn well think it.  You seem like a shitty human being.

Yup, just like they didn’t order the East Precinct surrender.

Jenny Durkan was perfectly ok with CHAZ, until they inconvenienced her.

I wonder if the voters in Seattle will remember that.

Says the guy who ran away from the cloak room because his shitty arguments and worldviews got picked apart and made him look like an idiot. Instead of learning and growing he just finds an echo chamber of people who agree with him so he can winkwink nudgenudge his dumb political views in the non political section of the forum, then go on a bullshit "no CR" tirade when someone calls him out on it.

Grow up.

I can't believe no one is talking about a new small zone in Seattle that isn't part of America now.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8409067/Trump-says-domestic-terrorists-taken-Seattle-demands-CHAZ-retaken.html

 

"Protesters who have formed a free zone in Seattle to keep police out spent the night dancing in the street, dining on free vegan pizza and watching movies under the watch of armed guards, after being deemed 'domestic terrorists' by a furious President Trump who has ordered Democrats to regain control of the city. 

The protesters have formed a six-block area they are now calling CHAZ - Capital Hill Autonomous Zone - in revolt against the police. 

There are armed people there but the majority, according to those at the scene, are peaceful. Some Seattle residents say they have walked through the area with their dogs at night and that it is 'more peaceful' than when the National Guard were there.  There are free stations offering sunscreen, hand sanitizer and snacks, and plant and flower gardens have been set up. 

On Wednesday night, the occupants voted on a movie to watch in the street. They settled on the 1990 film Paris is Burning. Trump has ordered that the block be dismantled."

I want to move there.

Petition for election to recall Mayor Jenny Durkan can move forward, judge says

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan speaks at a news conference... (Ken Lambert / The Seattle Times) More 

 By 

Elise Takahama 

Seattle Times staff reporter

A King County Superior Court judge has approved a petition for an election to recall Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, opening the door for a campaign that’s gained steam over the last several weeks.

The ruling Friday on charges filed by a group of five people last month comes after weeks of local protests against racism and police brutality — sparked by the killing of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee to his neck for about eight minutes.

Once any recall petition is approved, signatures are needed to qualify for a special election ballot. The petitioners must, within 180 days, collect valid signatures from a number of voters equal to 25% of the votes cast in the last election. In this case, signatures from more than 50,000 Seattle voters would be needed.

The Durkan petitioners’ recall effort, known online as the “Fire the Mayor” campaign, accuses the mayor of “endanger[ing] the peace and safety of the community” by allowing police to “leak false information about fabricated crimes and threats to the media” and issuing a citywide curfew without sufficient notice to the public. The petitioners also accused Durkan of restricting certain property rights in downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, the neighborhood where many of the protests took place.

“Jenny Durkan’s abuses of power, lack of foresight and failure to protect the public — and the peace — in Seattle leaves us with no choice,” petitioner Elliott Harvey wrote in a statement on the campaign’s website. “This is exactly the kind of case a recall is intended to address.”

In a response Saturday, Durkan’s chief of staff, Stephanie Formas, said the mayor “consistently has acted to protect the City’s public health and safety and to respect the constitutional rights to peaceful protesters,” and defended Police Chief Carmen Best, who Durkan believes “has exercised her challenging duties lawfully and appropriately to protect the public peace,” according to the statement.

The court this month held an online hearing on the petition, hearing from the petitioners and from attorney Rebecca J. Roe, who represented Durkan.

In her ruling Friday, Judge Mary E. Roberts dismissed six of the seven charges put forward as “insufficient,” but allowed one — which accuses Durkan of allowing tear gas and other crowd control weapons to be used during the coronavirus pandemic — to proceed “more narrowly than alleged.”

The judge did not rule on whether the allegation was true. “This court’s role in this case is limited,” she wrote. “At this stage of a recall effort, the court is to assume that the Recall Petitioners’ allegations are true, and to determine whether if true, they can support a recall.”

Formas, speaking for Durkan, said in a statement that the court’s ruling is significant since, at this stage of the proceedings, the judge must assume the allegations are true. “Even under this low standard, the Court dismissed six of the seven claims” in the petition, and dismissed a second petition altogether, the statement said.

“The mayor believes this remaining claim will be dismissed,” Formas said.

The mayor could appeal the ruling, but Formas did not say if she would.

Roberts also approved a ballot synopsis, which reads: “As alleged by [the petitioners], shall Jenny Durkan be recalled from office for misfeasance, malfeasance, and violation of the oath of office, based on the following charge: Mayor Durkan endangered the peace and safety of the community and violated her duties under state and local laws and her oath to uphold the federal and state constitutions when she failed to institute new policies and safety measures for the Seattle Police Department after learning of the use of chemical agents on peaceful protesters as a means of crowd control during a public health emergency.”

A court clerk is now expected to certify and submit the synopsis to Durkan, each petitioner and the county auditor, according to the ruling.

The next step is for the petitioners to gather signatures. If enough are gathered and they are verified as belonging to legal voters, a judge will set a special election to be held between 45 and 90 days after the signatures are certified. The law urges that the special election be held on a scheduled election or special election day when possible, and prohibits it from being held between a primary and general election.

So how many dead bodies did they find stashed in the CHOP/CHAZ when it was all said and done? We all know that somebody had to OD in there at somepoint
