    The violence had become ritualistic , and the ritual could be disrupted .
    A psychological conspiracy of city , state , and federal disrupted the
    evening gather-protest-and-rage pattern . Authority appeared to surrender .

    (Oops , the federal agents have
    not even left the Federal Building)

    You too can use the dis-arming strategy when traveling about alone and
    get cornered and threatened by ornery crazy cops ... resist , resist , resist ...
    then just at the perfect moment you appear to give up . It can make them cry .
    Stand strong for your right to exist ? simply and positively stand right there .

    When you discipline a spoiled brat for the first time, they tend to put up a lot of resistance.

    The left’s hatred for the police has always confused me. Who else is is going to enforce the collection of their beloved taxation?

    What's confusing you is your generalization that all liberals hate all police and all liberals like all taxes or how all taxes are spent.

    A very simplistic view.

    And then when you leave the house, they settle down? Your defenses of your Führer become lamer by the day.

    Tish. Seattle City council wants to replace cops with community lead non profit organization to handle calls that would go to the SPD. With a group of Citizens of Seattle that would be handle By a violent crime prevention unit, Sooo Vigilantes would be handling things, Maybe Raz from Chaz could be its leader. Great idea,

    Defunding Seattle police: City council's plan starts to take shape

    Apparently they believe that the SPD is racist, they cause it and perpetuate it apparently. . Everyone, all cops are racist. Apparently all of seattle is racist too and they are to recognize it,

    As KONO news states, this is a 90 percent cut by 2021, Don’t call 911! Call you local community leaders to deal with it. and it is just the beginning.

    Again rooted in his simple dichotomous view of the political landscape as "Left" versus "Right" with no center. I personally want to increase funding for the police and reduce government spending on wasteful stuff but also to fight for racial harmony and social justice, the flag and the Constitution it stands for, and plan to vote for Biden in the next election. I know lots of folks like me. Putting me in the same camp with BLM and Antifa would be ridiculous.

    Why cant the courthouse be relocated to a different place? If the citizens don't want it, it should go. Wondering if people in another locality would want to accept a courthouse in that locality?
    Relocation might diffuse the conflict

    Just eyeballing this, I note the phrase "To remove certain functions from the police department. That suggests they don't want to remove all functions from it or disband it, just to defund it by 50%. Also, the Resolution has no number. Is it a draft? Did it pass?

    Also , isn't the TV news station in Washington State KOMO instead of KONO? Typo? Anyhow, defunding the police is an extremely zany idea that will predictably cause lots of havoc before it's repealed. Are they nuts or what? And Seattle used to be such a nice city. Remind me never to go there again.

    yeah fires were set outside the courthouse again last night as over 1200 gathered out side it by 1 in the morning. By 2am the crowd was reduced to about 500. Other federal building had windows smashed and businesses were damaged again, but I guess vandalism is a non violent crime these days.

    For another view:
    Portland Protest Peaceful After Federal Presence Reduced
    Portland sees largely peaceful night of protests with more than 1,000 demonstrators as forces withdraw from city
    Portland protest strives for peace as U.S. forces drawn down

    According to PortlandOregon.gov last night. This is the statement that is called peaceful by media relations. Lol

    so more lasers in officers eyes, More violence and anarchy, but papers are saying everything is fine. All riots have stopped. Lol
