Seattle, Wash. — Protesters in the Emerald City have seized several city blocks for themselves in the aftermath of Seattle Police pulling out of their East Precinct station and have declared it an "autonomous," "cop free" zone.
Much like the rest of the country, Seattle's protests and subsequent unrest was in response to the death of George Floyd while he was in Minneapolis police custody, with an officer kneeling into Floyd's neck despite being handcuffed.
