Perhaps we should be calling them insurrectionists?
Seattle Protesters Issue Demands: Abolish Police, Grant Amnesty, Give Free Health Care and College
Protesters who have cordoned off several blocks in Seattle, declaring it a “cop-free zone†and “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,†have released a long list of demands, including abolition of the Seattle Police Department and prisons, amnesty for all illegal migrants, and free health care and college for all, especially for blacks as a form of reparations.
“This document is to represent the black voices who spoke in victory at the top of 12th & Pine after 9 days of peaceful protest while under constant nightly attack from the Seattle Police Department. These are words from that night, June 8th, 2020,†the document states.
The demands are divided into four sections — the justice system, health and human services, economics, and education.
The justice system demands include that the “Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus.†This includes seizing police pensions. It also calls for prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from operating in the city.
Under the health and human services portion of the document it states, “We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients†and — even though police will be gone if these demands are met — a separate 911 line manned by mental health professionals.
In both the economic section and elsewhere, the protesters demand free college, socialized medicine, and free public housing.
A couple points. First, they built a wall around the area, so, apparently they’re good with walls. Second, why are so many white voices saying they speak for blacks?
Sawant speaking at city hall, reminding of the vote on Monday to ban use of chemical weapons and choke holds. Also speaking further on defunding SPD and taxing Amazon. #SeattleProtest #SeattleProtests #Seattle pic.twitter.com/MI7VTpJyzk

Seattle estimates itself being 64.5 white, Asian 14.9%, and just 6.8%. I guess the uber-Leftist whites think that Blacks cannot do anything without the Helpful Hand of white government and white people. Kind of a racist attitude, don’t you think?
Third, I think we should give them what they want. We can try this for a 10 year period. However, no Seattle resident will be allowed to leave the city and move elsewhere. They must stay residents of the city. It’s important that all the pieces of the experimental group stick around. They can experience the crime, urban blight, theft, assaults, and more with no police department. We get to hear their complaints when they get beat up and calling 911 results in someone to give them a hug and a lecture on systemic racism. We get to hear their complaints when their taxes skyrocket to pay for all the free college and free healthcare. We get to hear them complain when they’re accused of being racists for not speaking Spanish. We get to hear the complaints when all those in prison for serious crimes cause problems when released. And the prisoners must also stay in Seattle.
We can wall of the entire place for 10 years. Sounds fair, right?
