First of all, it says HIS STORE IS NOT IN CHAZ! LOL
But either way, how is this any different from what normally happens in the inner city? You found one data point. You might see this kind of headline on any weekend in any given metropolis in the country.
On any random weekend in any city you’re going to have rioters demand the release of a guy that broke into a store and was detained by the owner while the police won’t come? Seriously, WTF man? Just admit that maybe, just maybe, this isn’t as rosy a situation as everyone is trying to make it seem.
Hutch, that’s an incomplete and misleading account of what happened.
“Nobody showed up”: 911 calls bring no response after break in at auto shop near Capitol Hill protest zone
Huff, your sister is right on all points, but I have to disagree with the last comment about this being normal.
Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins stopped by the business late Monday morning to speak with the McDermott. He said they need clearance from SPD to respond inside the CHAZ/ CHOP zone, but should’ve been able to respond to Car Trader, which is outside the zone. He said the fire department is looking into why no one responded.
KIRO7’s Deedee Sun asked the Seattle Police Department about why they never responded.
They replied in an email: “Seattle Police did respond to the incident last night and documented the incident on a report. The case number is #2020-188030. Due to limited staffing, we are unable to provide you with a redacted copy of the narrative.”
The business owner said he never spoke with or saw an officer. Multiple others at the scene said they never saw SPD either.
