Seattle police have begun clearing out the protest area known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, making more than a dozen arrests after Mayor Jenny Durkan declared the gathering an unlawful assembly.

Police issued the order to disperse around 5 a.m. Wednesday, telling protesters to leave within eight minutes. At least 13 protesters have been arrested so far for failing to clear the area, police said.

Durkan’s executive order comes after a series of late-night shootings in the area killed two teenagers and seriously wounded three other people. Police said other violent crimes have also been documented in the area since demonstrators took over several blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood last month.

“Officers enforcing today's order are wearing a higher-level of protective gear,” police said. “Police are utilizing this equipment because individuals associated w/the CHOP are known to be armed and dangerous/may be associated with shootings, homicides, robberies, assaults & other violent crimes.”

Police Chief Carmen Best said that while she supports peaceful demonstrations, “enough is enough.”

“The CHOP has become lawless and brutal,” Best said in a statement. “Four shootings – two fatal – robberies, assaults, violence and countless property crimes have occurred in this several block area.”

She said that it was the job of police officers to protect and serve the community, adding that the clearing of the protest would not mark an end to the department’s engagement with protesters.

“We must continue our efforts to build trust and redefine our roles as guardians in our city,” Best said.

The action comes a day after Seattle Department of Transportation crews used heavy machinery to remove concrete barriers marking the entrance to the protest area.

Finally!

Remember, turn on the light and the roaches scatter.

Still feel sorry for the residents and business owners who were trapped in there for over three weeks.
Bet we start hearing from them, about what really was going on in CHOP.

Hope the Justice Department investigates and brings Federal Charges against the ringleaders.
But, I think I'm wishing for something that will not happen.

It changed when they went to the mayors house to protest.

I don't care left, right you don't come to my house.
