Former Trump Admin official Rich Higgins has posted a thread of information about the demonic anarchy inside of the Seattle CHAZ/CHOP. Although this information is unverified, we wanted to bring it to your attention.
9 blocks of our city under the complete control of these terrorists. No joke. This is unreal. No police, no fire dept, no sanity allowed in. They have an armed force patrolling, manning checkpoints and stopping cars and citizens at gun point.

Yes, they have been on the front lines WITH the anarchists and yes, last night one council member let about 200 into city hall. The warlord in charge of the new "capitol hill autonomous zone" (CHAZ) drives a tesla and has been arrested for drugs, guns, pimping…

We can't go near the zone and have been warned by our dept to stay away. We are only working for each other now. We have been in battles where these psychopaths have hit us with rocks, cinderblocks, homemade napalm, and even IEDs. Multiple injuries & THEN we gave up the precinct.

This is real. There is a part of our country that is no longer under our control."

The situation in Seattle is pretty funny if you are looking from the outside in, but it is definitely not a joke to the few decent people still remaining in Seattle. President Trump and Attorney General Barr need to be very careful about getting baited into a situation that is very dangerous, and could turn ugly fast. However, if they do not intervene, then they risk appearing aloof to the needs of the American people who are not safely ensconced in D.C. behind Secret Service protection. The political leadership in this country has a duty to enforce law and order and preserve the good. Perhaps it would be a good start if A.G. Barr began making high-level arrests of governors, mayors, and police chiefs for failure to protect the citizenry.
“State-Created Danger” Liability
More common than a claim of liability based on the “special relationship” doctrine is a claim that someone who was not in police custody nevertheless came to injury or death at the hands of another, or via human or natural hazards, because of something police did or failed to do in circumstances of obvious danger. This is the “state-created danger” theory of liability.
“Although the state’s failure to protect an individual against private violence does not generally violate the guarantee of due process, it can where the state action affirmatively places the plaintiff in a position of danger, that is, where state action creates or exposes an individual to a danger which he or she would not otherwise have faced.” (Kennedy v. Ridgefield) [Police Mag]
