Seattle police in riot gear move in to reclaim their precinct in CHOP, arresting more than a dozen people, after the mayor issues a 2am executive order to vacate the zone which has seen two deadly shootings in three weeks and crime rise by 500 percent
There has been a 525% spike in violent crimes, including rape and assault, in the area. People had occupied several blocks around a park and the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct for about two weeks; police abandoned the building following clashes with those calling for an end to police brutality.
There had been increasing calls by critics, including President Trump, to remove protesters from the 'Capitol Hill Occupied Protest' area east of downtown following the fatal shooting Monday of a 16-year-old boy and the June 20 killing of a 19-year-old man.
