thedcclothesline--2020-06-15--An Eye-Witness’s Shocking Account of What’s REALLY Happening During the Seattle Riots

A social media post ( which has been removed ) by a member of the Washington National Guard has been shared more than 7000 times since it was written on June 12th .
It ’ s a true education in mob mentality .
As Toby Cowern says , “ Look how much ‘ othering ’ has been done already .
Once that ’ s happening there ’ s a big problem.
” He ’ s right – and here ’ s the shocking truth about what ’ s really going on in Seattle from a person who had a front-row @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said I had a lot to say regarding my experiences while in downtown Seattle [ Incoming VERY long post… ] .
When I came home , I was exhausted , angry , and saddened by what I had experienced .
I said I needed to share what happened , but I also said I needed some time to rest and reflect .
My unit was activated for 12 days .
We worked long hours but we continued to stay dedicated to the state and the mission .
I can ’ t stop that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all night , trying my best to put into words what I experienced and observed .
This is too important to wait .
I rarely post on social media , but I ’ m making this post , hoping it reaches those that want to know the truth .
I can imagine , given the current environment , this post may cause some controversy .
That is not my intention what-so-ever .
I agree the excessive use of force in Minnesota was inexcusable but reacting with hatred and violence is contradictory to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way , people need to know what ’ s actually happening behind the guise of this “ movement.
” Whether localized or nationalized , what I witnessed NEEDS TO STOP !
take our poll - story continues below I was working nights and the day of my phone call , I had difficulties sleeping that morning .
I had a lot on my mind , and I decided I was going to stay up and do some yard work .
As I was preparing to go outside , I started receiving text messages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve been activated !
Hit time at the armory is 1700 !
” I looked at my watch and I had maybe an hour before hit time .
“ Well , I ’ m going to be late… ” I thought .
I immediately responded to the text messages and phone calls , telling them I would be there as soon as possible .
Why was I going to be late ?
My unit is in Western Washington and I live in Southeastern Washington… to drive , at a pace much faster than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be lucky to make it in three hours… Without hesitation , I grabbed all my staged military gear and threw it into the back of my vehicle .
I figured , “ Heck , if it ’ s an emergency , they ’ re not going to have time to put out a packing list… so , I mise well bring everything.
” As I was throwing military gear into my vehicle , I received text messages telling me to pack for at least a week .
“ Wow , this is serious… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expecting the mission to last a week or more , whatever the activation was for , it was going to be an uphill battle… I threw a few uniforms and a week ’ s worth of clothing in my rucksack and proceeded to drive to the armory .
I arrived at the armory in the evening and realized I had now been awake for over 24 hours .
I contacted my chain of command and determined we ’ d leave at zero dark hundred for Seattle .
I gathered my issued equipment , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and tried to take a one-hour nap .
I awoke to people on the move and bright fluorescent lights .
It felt like I had just closed my eyes , but it was go-time .
I grabbed my bags and met my unit in the parking lot of the armory .
There was no time to waste !
We loaded every cot we had , all our personal bags , and whatever we could quickly think of that we might need .
We loaded our transportation and were off to Seattle in what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Seattle , I had time to dwell and self-reflect .
What ’ s so out of control that the Guard would be called up ?
Who and/or what am I going to be protecting ?
Am I going to be protecting rights , life , property , or all the above ?
I told myself that no matter what happens , I will do my utmost to remain impartial , to uphold the Constitution , to protect the rights of the citizens of the United States , and to protect life and property @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As a Soldier , we take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies , foreign and domestic .
Regardless of the political climate , a Soldier has the responsibility to remain impartial , to ensure all citizens ’ rights are protected and that the Constitution is adhered to .
As we approached Seattle , I did so with an open mind and a sympathetic heart .
I prayed that I may understand whoever needs our help , that I may do my job to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rights of all those involved would be preserved .
Per order of the Governor of Washington State , Jay Inslee , the Washington Army National Guard went into Seattle COMPLETELY UNARMED .
We had NO way to defend ourselves and HAD TO rely upon the SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT to protect us… Not all of us had vests or plates that would stop rifle bullets .
In the beginning , most of us didn ’ t even have shin guards… A few Soldiers didn ’ t have batons… Shields were hit or miss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we could… Oddly enough , my first day was one of the hardest days .
We touched ground and were immediately dispatched to the Seattle Police Department ( SPD ) East Precinct near the intersection of 11th St and Pine St ( Capitol Hill ) .
This location would become very familiar for me , due to all of the “ peaceful protesters ” rioting here almost every night… Only one other unit arrived the day before we did , and they were sent to Westlake Center due to it being actively vandalized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first day , I have to admit that my squad was later sent to Westlake .
While I was there , I saw remnants of fire and broken glass everywhere I went .
Almost all glass areas were boarded up and the area was devoid of business .
What I , and most non-locals didn ’ t know , is that Westlake is a shopping center .
It ’ s blocks upon blocks of popular businesses in downtown Seattle .
It ’ s essentially an outdoor shopping mall… Due to the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I was curious about the extent of damage to the area the night before .
While I was looking through photos on Google while on break , one of the Seattle Police Department Police Officers pointed to an area down the street and said , “ The bastards torched my patrol car right there.
” As she said that , the newspaper headline photo lit my smartphone screen as I could see protesters celebrating around broken business windows and a couple vehicles that were aflame .
I thought to myself , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As I read through the headlines , I came to realize the businesses were broken into , looted , and then set ablaze… all in the name of “ Black Lives Matter.
” I tried my best to connect the dots… but how does social injustice relate to graffiti , theft , malicious mischief , and arson ?
If there was a specific political statement from these crimes , even the news media didn ’ t interpret or understand it… it was obviously a crime of opportunity… Returning back to my first day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as one of the squad leaders .
My squad , consisting of primarily Soldiers from my unit , were fairly distinct .
Like everyone else in my unit , we wore a black vest that distinguished us against every other Guardsman in Seattle .
I could explain why , but it ’ s not relevant .
If you want proof of where I was , find the Soldiers with black vests in Seattle… I was one of them .
On the first day , we were initially on the line behind the Seattle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Officers weren ’ t carrying shields like us that day .
During the protests , I observed Officers shaking hands with those yelling at them .
I also saw one Officer approach a male crying in the crowd .
The Officer asked the male if he wanted a hug and the protester replied , “ Yes !
” I watched as the Officer embraced and comforted the crying protester .
Seeing these things , I thought to myself “ Why am I here ?
Seattle PD obviously has a connection with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accomplish or prevent here ?
” It didn ’ t take long for that to change .
I took up position on our right flank , recognizing a weakness in our line .
A female quickly made eye contact with me , while recording me with her cell phone , and started yelling… “ HEY !
ARMY !
Where are you from ?
!
” I told her I was a Soldier with the Washington Army National Guard .
She asked if I lived in Washington State .
I told her , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Washington State , just like you.
” She then abruptly said , “ Why do you guys keep killing us ?
” I told her , “ Excuse me ?
!
I haven ’ t killed anyone… ” She looked at me , befuddled , and said… “ You guys keep killing us !
You know , your training… don ’ t you have some sort of limitation where you can ’ t kill people ?
!
You know , where you can only shoot us if we shoot at you ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ knew she was referring to our Rules of Engagement ( RoE ) but it was obvious she was trying to provoke me .
I tried to explain to her that what she was saying wasn ’ t true , but she kept interrupting me .
Every time I ’ d try to speak , she ’ d raise her voice and interrupt me .
As she continued to escalate , I recognized she was trying to provoke an exaggerated reaction out of me .
I looked at her , shrugged , and proceeded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crowd .
She grumbled and said , “ You don ’ t even know your own regulations ?
!
” I looked at her , shrugged again , and continued to ignore her… As I was scanning , I saw a male protester point out and move towards an African-American Police Officer .
The protester proceeded to yell , asking why the Officer was on the “ white-man ’ s side.
” He called the Officer an “ Uncle Tom , ” a “ pretender , ” a “ race traitor , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to use .
Every fiber of my being wanted to lash out .
How can you use racist terms and protest racism while using it in a derogatory manner towards someone else ?
How can you even find fault in someone that is remaining peaceful , that is protecting your rights , and is obviously concerned for the community ?
!
I was furious as the protester continued berating the Officer… We then got replaced by another squad for relief .
During their “ protest ” I observed multiple people tell others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their “ white privilege.
” I also saw two protesters almost get into a fight because one wasn ’ t “ letting the black man speak.
” Another protester , when a male had a megaphone , yelled “ Listen to him !
He ’ s black !
” I was raised , under the impression , that equality means treating everyone equally… Race won ’ t cease to be an issue until we stop talking about it .
All my brothers and sisters are one color : green .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no one gets special anything due to their skin tone… Everyone is treated the same and everything is equal .
How is this ( equality ) a hard concept ?
I talked to my Soldiers during our downtime .
I had a few African-American Soldiers in my squad .
I pointed out and talked to them about what I had just observed .
I told them they may be focused upon , that the racists in the crowd might single them out because they ’ re African-American .
It wasn ’ t long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I should start gambling because it didn ’ t take long for the African-American Soldiers to get singled out .
I ’ m not going to repeat the hate , racism , and discontent directed at my Soldiers .
If they feel the need to share what was directed at them by the hypocritical “ protesters , ” they ’ ll do so .
Either way , every single Soldier in my unit was phenomenal .
Not a single Soldier lost their military bearing or professionalism .
Not a single protester got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military bearing… Not a single Soldier lashed out at the complete and utter stupidity of the racism coming from the hypocrites… After each one of my Soldiers was focused upon , I pulled them aside and later commended them on their military bearing and discipline .
I reiterated to each one of them that the rioters were trying to provoke them to react .
I told my Soldiers to maintain their discipline and to not worry about the protesters overstepping .
I told them I ’ d be right there , to address @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boundaries .
I have to say… I ’ m a prior Active Duty Soldier and these Guard Soldiers were on point !
They must have had some hard charging Drill Sergeants because all of them maintained their military bearing through this whole ordeal and I ’ m proud as hell to call them brothers and sisters !
“ All of you Soldiers should have died in Iraq !
” “ You ’ re nothing but a bunch of Vietnam baby killers !
” “ The only thing you know what to do is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be afraid of you , you ’ re nothing but killers !
” “ You guys must be ready to kill people with your kung-fu gloves.
” “ I ’ m legitimately afraid of you guys because all you know what to do is kill.
” “ Who exactly are you here to protect ?
” “ You ’ d rather protect property than people !
” “ You should be pointing weapons at the police !
” “ You ’ re on the wrong side , racists !
” “ Stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ You ’ re too dumb to form your own opinion.
” “ What Matters ?
Black Lives Matter… Are you too stupid to get that ?
” “ You guys need to stop shooting people.
” “ You guys need to stop gassing us.
” ( We NEVER had firearms , Oleoresin Capsicum [ OC ] , CS “ tear ” gas , or any other “ weapons ” ) -Some of these comments were made towards us while we were just standing in an area , away from any “ protest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that first day , they continued to try to provoke a response from the Officers and the Guardsman .
NO ONE PROVIDED A RESPONSE .
I was on the line , near the center right .
I remember a plastic water bottle being thrown across the line by the “ protesters ” on my right side towards a Police Officer .
Soon after , a bottle landed on the left side , right behind our line .
I yelled out “ SHIELDS UP !
” Without hesitation , our ENTIRE LINE of Guardsman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rioters and the Police Officers .
The “ protesters ” began throwing rocks , glass bottles , and chunks of concrete .
I was out there ALL day .
There wasn ’ t any construction going on .
There wasn ’ t a pile of concrete or bricks anywhere to be seen .
All I saw were younger people with heavy backpacks .
THEY WERE GRABBING CHUNKS OF CONCRETE FROM THEIR BACKPACKS TO THROW AT US .
Why is that important ?
Why would you carry chunks of concrete to a protest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concrete… When the concrete began to rain down on us , it came from ALL directions .
What does that mean ?
It was COORDINATED .
THEY PLANNED TO ASSAULT US WITH CONCRETE .
I didn ’ t realize until later , but I have to tell you… it really pissed me off when I thought about the situation I had just experienced .
As they were throwing these items , the Officers tried to protect us by using less-lethal means ( OC/CS/etc ) .
NO LETHAL FORCE WAS USED .
Could the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that situation ?
Absolutely… a chunk of concrete to the head can KILL someone… What NO ONE realizes , because the media is bias as hell , at least three police officers were injured that day before SPD used less-lethal means to de-escalate the situation .
One Officer took a chunk of concrete to his right eye… last I heard , he ’ s expected to LOSE his eye .
I retrieved a video from that confrontation with the “ protesters.
” You can see items flying towards us as SPD deploys OC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second use of OC , the long burst ?
That was over my right shoulder next to my head .
I got some OC contamination from that , which was okay because I was trained for it… The crowd continued to throw concrete .
At least two pieces of concrete hit my shield .
I later took a picture of my shield , WHICH WAS BRAND NEW , to show the extent of crap being thrown at us .
SPD then deployed CS gas .
We had planned for this possibility , telling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us after they put their mask on .
Unfortunately , that didn ’ t happen .
As CS was deployed , the crowd began to throw the CS canisters back towards us along with more concrete .
I couldn ’ t put my mask on since I would have had to drop my shield to do so .
I was currently protecting SPD Officers and I wasn ’ t going to allow the Officers behind me to get hurt .
So , as Guardsman were pulled off the line by other Guardsman and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ ve been through the CS gas chamber with the U.S. Army , but this was so much worse .
I stood there , trying to breathe for as long as I could .
At one point , I looked forward , and saw a female pointing a black pipe towards me .
My thought in that moment : “ You ’ ve got to be kidding me… they ’ re using potato guns too ?
!
” As she turned to her right , I noticed it was a leaf blower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaf blower to blow CS gas towards us… ( It ’ s not like they were anticipating that , right ?
! )
As the clouds of CS were parting due to her efforts , I saw a male… wearing a black hoodie , with the hoodie up , a bandanna , black pants , and a black backpack , in a throwing position .
I watched as he threw a large piece of concrete ( at least 5 ” x 5 ” ) , that was shaped in a triangle , directly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shield ( notice the white impact mark on the picture ) , I thought to myself… if I was armed , I would have shot him… The cloud of CS overtook me .
As I struggled to breathe , I looked to my left and NO ONE was there .
I looked to my right and saw only ONE OTHER SOLDIER .
I began to fall back as a sea of navy blue rushed forward .
SPD and the Washington State Patrol to the rescue !
I returned to a rally point , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gas mask , and began helping other soldiers that had been out on the line .
As the smoke began to clear , I took a couple photos to remember this moment and the anger that flooded my emotions .
The week continued and we were sent where SPD needed us .
We were told we had begun to get a reputation with SPD .
Our actions , while at East Precinct , showed we could be depended upon and we were there to help .
The Guard had arrived , and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to shoulder with SPD , against these anarchist/communist rioters in Seattle .
We saw through the protester ’ s “ cause.
” They were using the horrible situation that occurred in Minnesota as an opportunity to cause chaos , to loot and steal , and to destroy everything in their way to gain momentum for their “ revolution.
” The group was quickly identified as Antifa , a communist action group that was in the process of being labeled as a terrorist organization by the Commander-in-Chief .
I don ’ t like politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talk about politics .
When you ’ re in the military , you give up that luxury .
It ’ s something I don ’ t mind giving up , since discussing politics is as pointless as convincing a stubborn person they ’ re wrong .
It ’ s all opinion and people typically already have their mind made up .
Getting into an argument over politics usually ends in an escalation and personal attacks , especially when discussed between two people that have already passionately made up their mind .
Needless to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m a protector by nature .
When someone tries to hurt another person , and they do so when that person can ’ t defend themselves , I become very upset .
People that do that are criminals .
They ’ re the scum of society .
They prey on the weak and defenseless for their own personal gain .
These are the so-called “ peaceful protesters ” of Seattle .
I agree with everyone ’ s right to protest , but the moment they try to assault someone , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem with their actions .
Why the media has continued to defend them , it just shows how biased and out of touch the media is and it irritates me .
After only a few days , the majority of my unit was sent home .
Why ?
The Guard wanted to re-staff COVID-19 food banks , testing centers , and send the full-time soldiers back to their normal jobs… So , a large portion of our unit was pulled , and we were left with a little more than a dozen soldiers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other units were added to our ranks to fill in for those pulled from our platoon .
We worked very well together and continued to push forward , making the best of the situation , as we were constantly tasked out by SPD .
Additional units began to arrive , due to Governor Jay Inslee activating the entire Washington National Guard ( Army and Air Force ) .
We soon realized that the majority of our “ reinforcements ” weren ’ t trained , were undisciplined , and were useless for the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were an embarrassment… Those units were quickly sent home by the Commanding General and we realized our platoon would be stuck in Seattle , battling Antifa , until the situation was resolved one way or another .
I asked my chain of command a few times about arming us , but it was relayed over and over that Governor Inslee wouldn ’ t allow the Guard to defend ourselves or take the fight to the enemy ( Antifa ) .
The Governor made us rely on SPD to “ protect us.
” That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limiting our role as “ shields ” and “ bodies ” on the line for SPD… As SPD Officers and Guardsman continued to get injured at East Precinct , it became increasingly frustrating… Arming the National Guard is a risk , and some Antifa members probably would have been shot , but the situation would have been resolved quickly with a VERY different outcome .
So , the same escalating confrontations with Antifa continued for almost two weeks… The “ protesters ” would assault SPD Officers and Guardsman and SPD would use LESS-LETHAL @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rioters then used politics to their advantage .
They began petitioning the Mayor of Seattle , Jenny Durkan .
Durkan , in all her wisdom , caved to all demands… the curfew was lifted , and she BANNED the use of CS gas , the ONE thing that quickly de-escalated the violent confrontations… SPD had no choice but to view CS gas as a last resort , to only be deployed by SWAT .
Fast forward to the day before the most HUMILIATING and DEMORALIZING thing Durkan could have done… SPD must have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were anticipating Antifa ’ s response from Durkan ’ s concessions .
They installed permanent metal barriers at the intersection of 11th St and Pine St. A second line of barriers was also in place in between us and the initial barriers at the intersection .
Everything kicked off per usual , with the “ protesters ” trying to provoke us with their words , umbrellas , and signs .
This time , though , we didn ’ t give them an audience .
We all stayed inside the East Precinct , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the first barrier .
Suddenly , we were told the “ protesters ” began jumping the first barrier , heading towards us .
We rushed out to the road and staged roughly 1/3 of the way up the block from the intersection of 11th St and Pine St , creating a large safety buffer between us and the “ protesters ” who had jumped the fencing .
They were warned to return over the barrier , which they didn ’ t .
They then began disassembling the barrier .
They were warned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they continued .
They then walked towards us .
They were warned to stop , but they didn ’ t .
They continued walking towards us .
They were warned again , but they continued .
They reached the second barrier .
We later found out they brought a plasma cutter ( blow torch ) to cut through the barriers… ( not that they are the provocateurs , or are planning to escalate , right ?
! )
They began cutting barriers so they could be used as weapons against us .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but they continued .
They then picked up the second barriers and began walking towards us .
They were warned again not to move the barriers , but they continued .
They then jumped the last barrier .
They were warned again to turn back , but they continued towards us .
As they continued to approach , they were continuously warned .
HOW MANY WARNINGS DOES IT TAKE ?
!
It started to get dark… The portable lights were turned on .
The “ protesters ” then produced foil covered signs and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guardsman .
They were warned again , but they continued .
They then threw a glass bottle at a Guardsman , the glass bottle shattering on a riot shield .
They were warned again , but they just booed at us .
They continued to walk slowly towards the Officers until they were within 2-3 feet .
They then started using their umbrella ’ s and other objects , putting them in the face of the Officers .
They were warned again to not do that .
As expected , objects were then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this time .
Instead of throwing glass bottles containing urine and other bodily fluids , they began throwing glass bottles full of gasoline .
They then lit and threw fireworks at us , trying to light us on fire .
FINALLY the SPD Administration gave the green light and LESS LETHAL forms of riot control were deployed .
As objects were continued to be thrown at us , SWAT finally deployed CS gas .
The “ protesters ” proceeded to start vandalizing everything in the area .
They smashed business windows , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other items on fire , and threw things on fire at us .
We pushed them back in all directions about half a block but for some reason , we stopped pushing them back .
They then regrouped and continued to vandalize the area with spray paint , breaking windows , and lighting things on fire .
Around that time , the Guard was pulled back and we left East Precinct .
I returned the very next day at East Precinct , ready to continue the daily fight with these anarchists and communists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boarding up East Precinct .
City employees were removing all the barriers and taking everything they could out of the precinct .
We were ordered to about-face and leave .
We went to a different precinct where it was announced that Durkan had decided to abandon East Precinct and to give it to the “ protesters.
” As we watched , Antifa took over the East Precinct and they erected walls at the adjacent intersections with the barricades we had used .
They armed themselves , proceeded to vandalize the East Precinct with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hill a Cop-Free , Autonomous Zone ( CHAZ ) .
It was hard enough for me to watch , but I saw Officers that were assigned to the East Precinct for decades , shield their faces , and walk out of the room in tears .
The Capitol Hill area of the City of Seattle , to include East Precinct , was surrendered by its elected officials to the terrorists… I spent the next couple days stewing in Seattle… just waiting for any elected official to grow some balls and tell us to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ground they surrendered… but it never happened .
We were then told the Guard was losing its support from SPD .
CHAZ was the new norm of Seattle .
The terrorists won and it was time to go home .
We expressed our frustration among ourselves , lowered our heads , sympathized for the SPD Officers , packed our rucksacks , and went home angry .
( source ) You may be completely on your own .
As you can see , you can ’ t depend on anyone to come and save @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neighborhood .
The people who were there , willing , and able to defend Seattle were forced to stand down .
You have to expect to be completely on your own .
Learn more about how to stay safe during civil unrest scenarios here .
Can you imagine how the members of the National Guard and the police must have felt , facing this mob scene without the support of the state and local officials ?
Of course , there are two sides to every story and it ’ s important to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ video of the CHAZ area .
You do not have to be logged in to watch it .
One has to question how an elected governor could be so poor a leader as to let blocks of the largest city in his state be taken over by rioters .
It honestly seems to be somewhat beyond “ poor leadership.
” What we ’ re wondering is whether Governor Inslee is truly this spineless , whether it ’ s a deliberate attempt to undermine law and order , or if he ’ s just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agenda .

A social media post (which has been removed) by a member of the Washington National Guard has been shared more than 7000 times since it was written on June 12th. It’s a true education in mob mentality.
As Toby Cowern says, “Look how much ‘othering’ has been done already. Once that’s happening there’s a big problem.”
He’s right – and here’s the shocking truth about what’s really going on in Seattle from a person who had a front-row ticket to the mayhem.
An eye-witness account
I previously said I had a lot to say regarding my experiences while in downtown Seattle [Incoming VERY long post…]. When I came home, I was exhausted, angry, and saddened by what I had experienced. I said I needed to share what happened, but I also said I needed some time to rest and reflect. My unit was activated for 12 days. We worked long hours but we continued to stay dedicated to the state and the mission. I can’t stop that now. I’ve been up all night, trying my best to put into words what I experienced and observed. This is too important to wait. I rarely post on social media, but I’m making this post, hoping it reaches those that want to know the truth. I can imagine, given the current environment, this post may cause some controversy. That is not my intention what-so-ever. I agree the excessive use of force in Minnesota was inexcusable but reacting with hatred and violence is contradictory to the message of peace and change. Either way, people need to know what’s actually happening behind the guise of this “movement.” Whether localized or nationalized, what I witnessed NEEDS TO STOP!

Activation:
I was working nights and the day of my phone call, I had difficulties sleeping that morning. I had a lot on my mind, and I decided I was going to stay up and do some yard work. As I was preparing to go outside, I started receiving text messages and phone calls. “We’ve been activated! Hit time at the armory is 1700!” I looked at my watch and I had maybe an hour before hit time. “Well, I’m going to be late…” I thought. I immediately responded to the text messages and phone calls, telling them I would be there as soon as possible. Why was I going to be late?
My unit is in Western Washington and I live in Southeastern Washington… to drive, at a pace much faster than the speed limit, I’d be lucky to make it in three hours… Without hesitation, I grabbed all my staged military gear and threw it into the back of my vehicle. I figured, “Heck, if it’s an emergency, they’re not going to have time to put out a packing list… so, I mise well bring everything.” As I was throwing military gear into my vehicle, I received text messages telling me to pack for at least a week. “Wow, this is serious…” I thought. Being activated and expecting the mission to last a week or more, whatever the activation was for, it was going to be an uphill battle… I threw a few uniforms and a week’s worth of clothing in my rucksack and proceeded to drive to the armory.
Preparation:
I arrived at the armory in the evening and realized I had now been awake for over 24 hours. I contacted my chain of command and determined we’d leave at zero dark hundred for Seattle. I gathered my issued equipment, added it to my ruck sack, and tried to take a one-hour nap. I awoke to people on the move and bright fluorescent lights. It felt like I had just closed my eyes, but it was go-time. I grabbed my bags and met my unit in the parking lot of the armory. There was no time to waste! We loaded every cot we had, all our personal bags, and whatever we could quickly think of that we might need. We loaded our transportation and were off to Seattle in what seemed like minutes…
The Build Up:
On our way to Seattle, I had time to dwell and self-reflect. What’s so out of control that the Guard would be called up? Who and/or what am I going to be protecting? Am I going to be protecting rights, life, property, or all the above? I told myself that no matter what happens, I will do my utmost to remain impartial, to uphold the Constitution, to protect the rights of the citizens of the United States, and to protect life and property to the best of my ability. As a Soldier, we take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. Regardless of the political climate, a Soldier has the responsibility to remain impartial, to ensure all citizens’ rights are protected and that the Constitution is adhered to. As we approached Seattle, I did so with an open mind and a sympathetic heart. I prayed that I may understand whoever needs our help, that I may do my job to the utmost of my ability, and that the rights of all those involved would be preserved.
The Gear:
Per order of the Governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee, the Washington Army National Guard went into Seattle COMPLETELY UNARMED. We had NO way to defend ourselves and HAD TO rely upon the SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT to protect us… Not all of us had vests or plates that would stop rifle bullets. In the beginning, most of us didn’t even have shin guards… A few Soldiers didn’t have batons… Shields were hit or miss, but we ended up sharing where we could…
The Riots:
Oddly enough, my first day was one of the hardest days. We touched ground and were immediately dispatched to the Seattle Police Department (SPD) East Precinct near the intersection of 11th St and Pine St (Capitol Hill). This location would become very familiar for me, due to all of the “peaceful protesters” rioting here almost every night… Only one other unit arrived the day before we did, and they were sent to Westlake Center due to it being actively vandalized and destroyed.
Before I talk about the first day, I have to admit that my squad was later sent to Westlake. While I was there, I saw remnants of fire and broken glass everywhere I went. Almost all glass areas were boarded up and the area was devoid of business. What I, and most non-locals didn’t know, is that Westlake is a shopping center. It’s blocks upon blocks of popular businesses in downtown Seattle. It’s essentially an outdoor shopping mall… Due to the fact that not a single store was open, I was curious about the extent of damage to the area the night before. While I was looking through photos on Google while on break, one of the Seattle Police Department Police Officers pointed to an area down the street and said, “The bastards torched my patrol car right there.” As she said that, the newspaper headline photo lit my smartphone screen as I could see protesters celebrating around broken business windows and a couple vehicles that were aflame. I thought to myself, “Why would someone do this?” As I read through the headlines, I came to realize the businesses were broken into, looted, and then set ablaze… all in the name of “Black Lives Matter.” I tried my best to connect the dots… but how does social injustice relate to graffiti, theft, malicious mischief, and arson? If there was a specific political statement from these crimes, even the news media didn’t interpret or understand it… it was obviously a crime of opportunity…
Returning back to my first day at East Precinct, I was assigned as one of the squad leaders. My squad, consisting of primarily Soldiers from my unit, were fairly distinct. Like everyone else in my unit, we wore a black vest that distinguished us against every other Guardsman in Seattle. I could explain why, but it’s not relevant. If you want proof of where I was, find the Soldiers with black vests in Seattle… I was one of them.
Anyways…
On the first day, we were initially on the line behind the Seattle Police Officers at the East Precinct. The Officers weren’t carrying shields like us that day. During the protests, I observed Officers shaking hands with those yelling at them. I also saw one Officer approach a male crying in the crowd. The Officer asked the male if he wanted a hug and the protester replied, “Yes!” I watched as the Officer embraced and comforted the crying protester. Seeing these things, I thought to myself “Why am I here? Seattle PD obviously has a connection with the population, what am I supposed to accomplish or prevent here?” It didn’t take long for that to change.
I took up position on our right flank, recognizing a weakness in our line. A female quickly made eye contact with me, while recording me with her cell phone, and started yelling… “HEY! ARMY! Where are you from?!” I told her I was a Soldier with the Washington Army National Guard. She asked if I lived in Washington State. I told her, “Yes, I’m a citizen of Washington State, just like you.” She then abruptly said, “Why do you guys keep killing us?” I told her, “Excuse me?! I haven’t killed anyone…” She looked at me, befuddled, and said… “You guys keep killing us! You know, your training… don’t you have some sort of limitation where you can’t kill people?! You know, where you can only shoot us if we shoot at you?” At this point, I obviously knew she was referring to our Rules of Engagement (RoE) but it was obvious she was trying to provoke me. I tried to explain to her that what she was saying wasn’t true, but she kept interrupting me. Every time I’d try to speak, she’d raise her voice and interrupt me. As she continued to escalate, I recognized she was trying to provoke an exaggerated reaction out of me. I looked at her, shrugged, and proceeded to ignore her as I scanned the crowd. She grumbled and said, “You don’t even know your own regulations?!” I looked at her, shrugged again, and continued to ignore her… As I was scanning, I saw a male protester point out and move towards an African-American Police Officer.
The protester proceeded to yell, asking why the Officer was on the “white-man’s side.” He called the Officer an “Uncle Tom,” a “pretender,” a “race traitor,” and a N-word I’d prefer not to use. Every fiber of my being wanted to lash out. How can you use racist terms and protest racism while using it in a derogatory manner towards someone else? How can you even find fault in someone that is remaining peaceful, that is protecting your rights, and is obviously concerned for the community?! I was furious as the protester continued berating the Officer… We then got replaced by another squad for relief.
During their “protest” I observed multiple people tell others to “shut up” because of their “white privilege.” I also saw two protesters almost get into a fight because one wasn’t “letting the black man speak.” Another protester, when a male had a megaphone, yelled “Listen to him! He’s black!” I was raised, under the impression, that equality means treating everyone equally… Race won’t cease to be an issue until we stop talking about it. All my brothers and sisters are one color: green. It’s cool to honor your heritage, but no one gets special anything due to their skin tone… Everyone is treated the same and everything is equal. How is this (equality) a hard concept?
I talked to my Soldiers during our downtime. I had a few African-American Soldiers in my squad. I pointed out and talked to them about what I had just observed. I told them they may be focused upon, that the racists in the crowd might single them out because they’re African-American. It wasn’t long before we returned to the protest line.
I should start gambling because it didn’t take long for the African-American Soldiers to get singled out. I’m not going to repeat the hate, racism, and discontent directed at my Soldiers. If they feel the need to share what was directed at them by the hypocritical “protesters,” they’ll do so. Either way, every single Soldier in my unit was phenomenal. Not a single Soldier lost their military bearing or professionalism. Not a single protester got anyone in my squad to break their military bearing… Not a single Soldier lashed out at the complete and utter stupidity of the racism coming from the hypocrites… After each one of my Soldiers was focused upon, I pulled them aside and later commended them on their military bearing and discipline. I reiterated to each one of them that the rioters were trying to provoke them to react. I told my Soldiers to maintain their discipline and to not worry about the protesters overstepping. I told them I’d be right there, to address any protesters touching them or pushing the boundaries.
I have to say… I’m a prior Active Duty Soldier and these Guard Soldiers were on point! They must have had some hard charging Drill Sergeants because all of them maintained their military bearing through this whole ordeal and I’m proud as hell to call them brothers and sisters!
Some highlights:
“All of you Soldiers should have died in Iraq!”
“You’re nothing but a bunch of Vietnam baby killers!”
“The only thing you know what to do is murder people!”
“All people should be afraid of you, you’re nothing but killers!”
“You guys must be ready to kill people with your kung-fu gloves.”
“I’m legitimately afraid of you guys because all you know what to do is kill.”
“Who exactly are you here to protect?”
“You’d rather protect property than people!”
“You should be pointing weapons at the police!”
“You’re on the wrong side, racists!”
“Stop following orders and join us!”
“You’re too dumb to form your own opinion.”
“What Matters? Black Lives Matter… Are you too stupid to get that?”
“You guys need to stop shooting people.”
“You guys need to stop gassing us.”
(We NEVER had firearms, Oleoresin Capsicum [OC], CS “tear” gas, or any other “weapons”)
-Some of these comments were made towards us while we were just standing in an area, away from any “protest line” without a riot shield…
On that first day, they continued to try to provoke a response from the Officers and the Guardsman. NO ONE PROVIDED A RESPONSE. I was on the line, near the center right. I remember a plastic water bottle being thrown across the line by the “protesters” on my right side towards a Police Officer. Soon after, a bottle landed on the left side, right behind our line. I yelled out “SHIELDS UP!” Without hesitation, our ENTIRE LINE of Guardsman moved forward, and placed ourselves between the rioters and the Police Officers.
The “protesters” began throwing rocks, glass bottles, and chunks of concrete. I was out there ALL day. There wasn’t any construction going on. There wasn’t a pile of concrete or bricks anywhere to be seen. All I saw were younger people with heavy backpacks. THEY WERE GRABBING CHUNKS OF CONCRETE FROM THEIR BACKPACKS TO THROW AT US. Why is that important? Why would you carry chunks of concrete to a protest? Because you PLAN on using/throwing the concrete… When the concrete began to rain down on us, it came from ALL directions. What does that mean? It was COORDINATED. THEY PLANNED TO ASSAULT US WITH CONCRETE. I didn’t realize until later, but I have to tell you… it really pissed me off when I thought about the situation I had just experienced. As they were throwing these items, the Officers tried to protect us by using less-lethal means (OC/CS/etc). NO LETHAL FORCE WAS USED. Could the Seattle Police Department use lethal force in that situation? Absolutely… a chunk of concrete to the head can KILL someone…
What NO ONE realizes, because the media is bias as hell, at least three police officers were injured that day before SPD used less-lethal means to de-escalate the situation. One Officer took a chunk of concrete to his right eye… last I heard, he’s expected to LOSE his eye. I retrieved a video from that confrontation with the “protesters.” You can see items flying towards us as SPD deploys OC (pepper spray). Notice the second use of OC, the long burst? That was over my right shoulder next to my head. I got some OC contamination from that, which was okay because I was trained for it… The crowd continued to throw concrete. At least two pieces of concrete hit my shield. I later took a picture of my shield, WHICH WAS BRAND NEW, to show the extent of crap being thrown at us.
SPD then deployed CS gas. We had planned for this possibility, telling the squad on deck to come relieve us after they put their mask on. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. As CS was deployed, the crowd began to throw the CS canisters back towards us along with more concrete. I couldn’t put my mask on since I would have had to drop my shield to do so. I was currently protecting SPD Officers and I wasn’t going to allow the Officers behind me to get hurt. So, as Guardsman were pulled off the line by other Guardsman and SPD, I HELD MY GROUND. I’ve been through the CS gas chamber with the U.S. Army, but this was so much worse. I stood there, trying to breathe for as long as I could.
At one point, I looked forward, and saw a female pointing a black pipe towards me. My thought in that moment: “You’ve got to be kidding me… they’re using potato guns too?!” As she turned to her right, I noticed it was a leaf blower. A “PROTESTER” brought a leaf blower to blow CS gas towards us… (It’s not like they were anticipating that, right?!) As the clouds of CS were parting due to her efforts, I saw a male… wearing a black hoodie, with the hoodie up, a bandanna, black pants, and a black backpack, in a throwing position. I watched as he threw a large piece of concrete (at least 5” x 5”), that was shaped in a triangle, directly at me. As it hit my shield (notice the white impact mark on the picture), I thought to myself… if I was armed, I would have shot him… The cloud of CS overtook me. As I struggled to breathe, I looked to my left and NO ONE was there. I looked to my right and saw only ONE OTHER SOLDIER. I began to fall back as a sea of navy blue rushed forward. SPD and the Washington State Patrol to the rescue! I returned to a rally point, dropped my shield, put on my gas mask, and began helping other soldiers that had been out on the line. As the smoke began to clear, I took a couple photos to remember this moment and the anger that flooded my emotions.
The week continued and we were sent where SPD needed us. We were told we had begun to get a reputation with SPD. Our actions, while at East Precinct, showed we could be depended upon and we were there to help. The Guard had arrived, and we’d be there, standing shoulder to shoulder with SPD, against these anarchist/communist rioters in Seattle. We saw through the protester’s “cause.” They were using the horrible situation that occurred in Minnesota as an opportunity to cause chaos, to loot and steal, and to destroy everything in their way to gain momentum for their “revolution.” The group was quickly identified as Antifa, a communist action group that was in the process of being labeled as a terrorist organization by the Commander-in-Chief.
I don’t like politics and I’m not going to talk about politics. When you’re in the military, you give up that luxury. It’s something I don’t mind giving up, since discussing politics is as pointless as convincing a stubborn person they’re wrong. It’s all opinion and people typically already have their mind made up. Getting into an argument over politics usually ends in an escalation and personal attacks, especially when discussed between two people that have already passionately made up their mind.
Needless to say, I was very angry. I’m a protector by nature. When someone tries to hurt another person, and they do so when that person can’t defend themselves, I become very upset. People that do that are criminals. They’re the scum of society. They prey on the weak and defenseless for their own personal gain. These are the so-called “peaceful protesters” of Seattle. I agree with everyone’s right to protest, but the moment they try to assault someone, that’s when EVERYONE should have a problem with their actions. Why the media has continued to defend them, it just shows how biased and out of touch the media is and it irritates me.
After only a few days, the majority of my unit was sent home. Why? The Guard wanted to re-staff COVID-19 food banks, testing centers, and send the full-time soldiers back to their normal jobs… So, a large portion of our unit was pulled, and we were left with a little more than a dozen soldiers. The platoon was condensed, and other units were added to our ranks to fill in for those pulled from our platoon. We worked very well together and continued to push forward, making the best of the situation, as we were constantly tasked out by SPD.
Additional units began to arrive, due to Governor Jay Inslee activating the entire Washington National Guard (Army and Air Force). We soon realized that the majority of our “reinforcements” weren’t trained, were undisciplined, and were useless for the current mission in Seattle. Additionally, they were an embarrassment… Those units were quickly sent home by the Commanding General and we realized our platoon would be stuck in Seattle, battling Antifa, until the situation was resolved one way or another.
I asked my chain of command a few times about arming us, but it was relayed over and over that Governor Inslee wouldn’t allow the Guard to defend ourselves or take the fight to the enemy (Antifa). The Governor made us rely on SPD to “protect us.” That limited the scope of our response, limiting our role as “shields” and “bodies” on the line for SPD… As SPD Officers and Guardsman continued to get injured at East Precinct, it became increasingly frustrating… Arming the National Guard is a risk, and some Antifa members probably would have been shot, but the situation would have been resolved quickly with a VERY different outcome.
So, the same escalating confrontations with Antifa continued for almost two weeks… The “protesters” would assault SPD Officers and Guardsman and SPD would use LESS-LETHAL means to disperse the riot. The rioters then used politics to their advantage. They began petitioning the Mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkan. Durkan, in all her wisdom, caved to all demands… the curfew was lifted, and she BANNED the use of CS gas, the ONE thing that quickly de-escalated the violent confrontations… SPD had no choice but to view CS gas as a last resort, to only be deployed by SWAT.
Fast forward to the day before the most HUMILIATING and DEMORALIZING thing Durkan could have done…
SPD must have had some really good intelligence, or they were anticipating Antifa’s response from Durkan’s concessions. They installed permanent metal barriers at the intersection of 11th St and Pine St. A second line of barriers was also in place in between us and the initial barriers at the intersection. Everything kicked off per usual, with the “protesters” trying to provoke us with their words, umbrellas, and signs. This time, though, we didn’t give them an audience. We all stayed inside the East Precinct, as they did their normal agitation methods at the first barrier.
Suddenly, we were told the “protesters” began jumping the first barrier, heading towards us. We rushed out to the road and staged roughly 1/3 of the way up the block from the intersection of 11th St and Pine St, creating a large safety buffer between us and the “protesters” who had jumped the fencing. They were warned to return over the barrier, which they didn’t. They then began disassembling the barrier. They were warned not to disassemble the barrier, but they continued. They then walked towards us. They were warned to stop, but they didn’t. They continued walking towards us. They were warned again, but they continued. They reached the second barrier.
We later found out they brought a plasma cutter (blow torch) to cut through the barriers… (not that they are the provocateurs, or are planning to escalate, right?!)
They began cutting barriers so they could be used as weapons against us. They were warned about cutting the barriers, but they continued. They then picked up the second barriers and began walking towards us. They were warned again not to move the barriers, but they continued. They then jumped the last barrier. They were warned again to turn back, but they continued towards us. As they continued to approach, they were continuously warned. HOW MANY WARNINGS DOES IT TAKE?!
It started to get dark… The portable lights were turned on. The “protesters” then produced foil covered signs and were trying to blind the Officers and Guardsman. They were warned again, but they continued. They then threw a glass bottle at a Guardsman, the glass bottle shattering on a riot shield. They were warned again, but they just booed at us. They continued to walk slowly towards the Officers until they were within 2-3 feet. They then started using their umbrella’s and other objects, putting them in the face of the Officers. They were warned again to not do that.
As expected, objects were then thrown at us. They amplified things, this time. Instead of throwing glass bottles containing urine and other bodily fluids, they began throwing glass bottles full of gasoline. They then lit and threw fireworks at us, trying to light us on fire.
FINALLY the SPD Administration gave the green light and LESS LETHAL forms of riot control were deployed. As objects were continued to be thrown at us, SWAT finally deployed CS gas. The “protesters” proceeded to start vandalizing everything in the area. They smashed business windows, burned U.S. flags, lit dumpsters and other items on fire, and threw things on fire at us. We pushed them back in all directions about half a block but for some reason, we stopped pushing them back. They then regrouped and continued to vandalize the area with spray paint, breaking windows, and lighting things on fire. Around that time, the Guard was pulled back and we left East Precinct.
I returned the very next day at East Precinct, ready to continue the daily fight with these anarchists and communists. When I arrived, they were boarding up East Precinct. City employees were removing all the barriers and taking everything they could out of the precinct. We were ordered to about-face and leave. We went to a different precinct where it was announced that Durkan had decided to abandon East Precinct and to give it to the “protesters.” As we watched, Antifa took over the East Precinct and they erected walls at the adjacent intersections with the barricades we had used. They armed themselves, proceeded to vandalize the East Precinct with spray paint, and they declared Capitol Hill a Cop-Free, Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). It was hard enough for me to watch, but I saw Officers that were assigned to the East Precinct for decades, shield their faces, and walk out of the room in tears. The Capitol Hill area of the City of Seattle, to include East Precinct, was surrendered by its elected officials to the terrorists…
I spent the next couple days stewing in Seattle… just waiting for any elected official to grow some balls and tell us to move back in… to take over the ground they surrendered… but it never happened. We were then told the Guard was losing its support from SPD. CHAZ was the new norm of Seattle. The terrorists won and it was time to go home. We expressed our frustration among ourselves, lowered our heads, sympathized for the SPD Officers, packed our rucksacks, and went home angry. (source)
You may be completely on your own.
As you can see, you can’t depend on anyone to come and save you when unrest shows up in your neighborhood. The people who were there, willing, and able to defend Seattle were forced to stand down. You have to expect to be completely on your own. Learn more about how to stay safe during civil unrest scenarios here.
Can you imagine how the members of the National Guard and the police must have felt, facing this mob scene without the support of the state and local officials?
Of course, there are two sides to every story and it’s important to see both. Here’s an on-the-ground video of the CHAZ area. You do not have to be logged in to watch it.
One has to question how an elected governor could be so poor a leader as to let blocks of the largest city in his state be taken over by rioters. It honestly seems to be somewhat beyond “poor leadership.” What we’re wondering is whether Governor Inslee is truly this spineless, whether it’s a deliberate attempt to undermine law and order, or if he’s just another “useless idiot” progressing an agenda.

thedcclothesline--2020-06-15--Police Officers All Over America Are Quitting Their Jobs Because Of The George Floyd Protests

Even during the best of times , being a police officer in one of America ’ s major cities is extremely stressful , and these are definitely not the best of times .
In 2020 , the entire profession has become the target for a vast nationwide outpouring of anger and hatred .
It doesn ’ t matter if you are a good officer or a bad officer , because everyone is being lumped together .
Every single person that puts on a police uniform understands that they are putting their lives on the line every single day , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever .
All over the U.S. , police officers are being attacked , abused and targeted for violence , and I can ’ t even imagine what it is like to never be able to let your guard down because someone could assault you at any moment .
And even if you never get physically attacked , most officers must still endure the mental torment of knowing that vast numbers of people want them dead simply because they have chosen to serve in the police .
For Winchester , Tennessee police officer Dustin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main factors that caused him to quit his job “ I thought long and hard about whether or not I should even make a video , but I feel like that today we all kinda need to understand where law enforcement is and the crusade against us that is weighing on every officer ’ s heart in America right now , ” he said .
“ It ’ s devastating to be a police officer right now , and to know what ’ s going on and how people feel about you and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ job , the sacrifices that you make , ” Elliott added .
“ There ’ s a lot that would rather see you dead just because of the uniform that you wear.
” I have never seen as much hatred for the police as we are seeing right now , and that is incredibly sad .
take our poll - story continues below Yes , there have been abuses , but most police officers have never had any problems and serve their communities with distinction .
Unfortunately , we are seeing many fine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how radically the environment has changed .
For example , “ at least seven Minneapolis police officers ” have already quit since George ’ s Floyd ’ s death , and “ more than half a dozen are in the process of leaving ” … Of course the entire Minneapolis police force is about to be completely disbanded , and so nobody can blame those officers for exiting while they can still do so on their own terms .

And for those that stay , these protests will likely have an extreme chilling effect on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to become “ the next Derek Chauvin ” , and so a lot of officers may choose to start letting uncooperative criminals get away rather than use force , because a single incident that goes wrong can literally destroy your life .
If you want to see what a future without police would look like , just check out what is going on in Seattle right now .
The “ autonomous zone ” is descending into chaos , and there have already been numerous violent confrontations .
The truth is that we need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to be efforts to reduce police funding all over the nation , and a lot of units are going to be forced to downsize simply because so many officers are leaving .
For most people , there is a point where enough is enough , and 57 members of one unit in Buffalo , New York recently reached that point simultaneously… Sadly , this may just be the tip of the iceberg .
Tulsa , Oklahoma police chief Travis Yates made some very alarming statements during a recent interview with Tucker Carlson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer you talk to is looking to leave ” … By the way , Tucker Carlson just made a move that I find to be very interesting .
It is being reported that he is selling his home in Washington… He understands that much more civil unrest is coming , and I think that he wanted to sell his home while he still had a home to sell .
Anger continues to rise all over America , and some of the things that we are now seeing are absolutely nuts .
At this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become so extreme that activists even want to ban the police puppy on Paw Patrol .
That is such a crazy idea that even rapper Ice Cube is speaking out against it… I never thought that I would see police be hated as much as they are hated in our country right now .
But the truth is that we need the police more than ever , because a lot more rioting , looting and violence is coming to our cities .
The thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all that stands between us and complete anarchy is a very narrow blue line .
Yes , we want to see protections against abuse implemented , but an America without police is not an America that any of us would want to live in .

I have never seen as much hatred for the police as we are seeing right now, and that is incredibly sad.
Yes, there have been abuses, but most police officers have never had any problems and serve their communities with distinction.
Unfortunately, we are seeing many fine officers leave their careers behind because of how radically the environment has changed. For example, “at least seven Minneapolis police officers” have already quit since George’s Floyd’s death, and “more than half a dozen are in the process of leaving”…
At least seven Minneapolis police officers have resigned from the department since widespread unrest began over the death of George Floyd last month, and more than half a dozen are in the process of leaving, according to department officials. The departures, an unusually large exodus, come amid a growing crisis for the state’s largest police force, with a state human rights investigation underway, calls for defunding, and even disbandment.
Of course the entire Minneapolis police force is about to be completely disbanded, and so nobody can blame those officers for exiting while they can still do so on their own terms.
Needless to say, we are seeing lots of resignations around the rest of the country as well. For example, down in Florida we just witnessed an entire 10 person SWAT team resign after the police chief “knelt with racial justice protesters”…
A 10-member SWAT team for a Florida police department has resigned en masse after their chief knelt with racial justice protesters, saying they felt “restrained by the politicization of our tactics.” The letter of resignation from the SWAT team in Hallandale Beach, Fla., was delivered to city officials on Friday, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Unfortunately, we are in an economic environment where more than 44 million Americans have already lost a job this year, and so a lot of officers will feel like they have no choice but to stay in their current jobs so that they can provide for their families.
And for those that stay, these protests will likely have an extreme chilling effect on the use of force. Nobody wants to become “the next Derek Chauvin”, and so a lot of officers may choose to start letting uncooperative criminals get away rather than use force, because a single incident that goes wrong can literally destroy your life.
If you want to see what a future without police would look like, just check out what is going on in Seattle right now. The “autonomous zone” is descending into chaos, and there have already been numerous violent confrontations.

For most people, there is a point where enough is enough, and 57 members of one unit in Buffalo, New York recently reached that point simultaneously…
All 57 members of a police tactical unit in Buffalo, New York, have resigned from that team to protest the suspension of two colleagues who were filmed shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground, local media reported on Friday. Two members of the Buffalo Police Department’s Emergency Response Team were suspended on Thursday and are being investigated after a local radio station released video of the incident involving the protester.
Sadly, this may just be the tip of the iceberg.
Tulsa, Oklahoma police chief Travis Yates made some very alarming statements during a recent interview with Tucker Carlson. According to Yates, “every officer you talk to is looking to leave”…
Yates told Carlson that held felt morale among law enforcement officers “was really low” following the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown by then-Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson. “As everybody knows, President Obama’s administration found no evidence of wrongdoing in Ferguson even though the narrative is quite different …,” he said. “We were making a resurgence in recent years and this [George Floyd’s death and the aftermath] has been devastating. This has been Ferguson times 1,000. Every department, every officer you talk to is looking to leave.”
By the way, Tucker Carlson just made a move that I find to be very interesting.
It is being reported that he is selling his home in Washington…
Tucker Carlson, the host of the nightly talk show “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” is selling his house in Washington, DC. The Fox News stalwart is asking $3.95 million for his luxury home. On the market for just over a week, the mansion has already attracted buyer interest and is currently in contingent sale status.
I don’t blame him one bit.

He understands that much more civil unrest is coming, and I think that he wanted to sell his home while he still had a home to sell.
Anger continues to rise all over America, and some of the things that we are now seeing are absolutely nuts.
At this point, hatred of the police has become so extreme that activists even want to ban the police puppy on Paw Patrol. That is such a crazy idea that even rapper Ice Cube is speaking out against it…
Even leftist rapper Ice Cube is against the idea of canceling Paw Patrol, a popular cartoon that has come under fire because one of its characters is a police dog. The long-running show features puppies that work in different professions (such as police, construction, firefighting, medicine, and the like) who rush around their town to save people, right wrongs, and maintain order. But since one of the characters is a police dog, leftists are targeting the cartoon in the wake of emboldened Black Lives Matter activists looking to eliminate anything they don’t like all across American society.
I never thought that I would see police be hated as much as they are hated in our country right now.
But the truth is that we need the police more than ever, because a lot more rioting, looting and violence is coming to our cities.
The thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted every day is rapidly disintegrating, and all that stands between us and complete anarchy is a very narrow blue line.
Yes, we want to see protections against abuse implemented, but an America without police is not an America that any of us would want to live in.

Second Amendment now ACTIVATED: Defend your history, your cities and your nation… Patriot groups plan July 4th “retake” of downtown Seattle

( Natural News ) The Second Amendment , America ’ s natural immune system against tyranny and terrorism , is now activated .
The rise of Black Lives Matter terrorism and their seizing of downtown Seattle through the use of violence , demands a law-and-order response .
But the feckless Mayor of Seattle kowtows to the terrorists , and the Governor of Washington is a Soros-controlled left-wing puppet who relishes in the idea of America being destroyed .
The police have surrendered the territory , and the National Guard has been literally disarmed and ordered to stand down , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and hurl chunks of concrete as deadly weapons , now injuring hundreds of law enforcement officers nationwide .
When the mayors and governors won ’ t do their jobs , and the police are ordered to stand down , and the National Guard is disarmed in order to appease a group of Black Lives Matter / Antifa terrorists who are burning America ’ s cities , the U.S. Constitution allows for one final defense against tyranny , violence and terrorism : The Second Amendment .
The Second Amendment is now activated in America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All law-abiding Americans who own firearms now have the constitutional right to deploy those firearms in defense of their cities , their lives and their nation .
This is America .
We don ’ t negotiate with terrorists or tyrants .
We defeat them , and the Constitution has already granted us all the means by which violent anti-American uprisings can be halted to restore order and defend the innocent .
“ A well regulated Militia , being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be infringed.
” That means the Second Amendment is now calling for an organized militia response to the terrorist uprisings .
Its time for America to defeat the terrorists , arrest the mayors and governors who have engaged in treason against America , take back America ’ s cities and restore law and order .
In our view , the mayors and governors who are surrendering to left-wing terrorist organizations should themselves be arrested and charged with sedition or conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism against the United States of America .
Patriot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4th to retake CHAZ and free the prisoners inside A group of self-styled “ Bikers for Trump ” is pledging to retake Seattle ’ s Capital Hill Autonomous Zone for the United States , planning on dismantling the anarchist commune on the Fourth of July .
Seattle city authorities have steadfastly refused to enforce the territorial integrity of the United States and their city , instead opting to allow ANTIFA-linked militants to stake out a secessionist project openly advertising rebellion from the United States .
The American motorcyclists intend to step in and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city ’ s authorities , laying out their plans for the operation in a Facebook event .
“ On July 4th , Independence Day , a coalition of patriot groups and all who want to join are going to retake the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone for America .
antifa members are illegally occupying public property and terrorizing small businesses in the neighborhood .
American patriots have agreed to come together again , remove the barricades illegally obstructing traffic , and free the people in the zone.
” The group claims it will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Black Lives Matter terrorists are armed and have already displayed a willingness to threaten people with violence .
The goal of the patriot group seems simple : We are not going to hurt anybody , break the law etc .
We are simply going to tear down the illegal barriers on public property , clean up the mess these communist kids made , and return the police station over to Seattle Police Department control .
Preliminary reports suggest that members of the Mongols MC and Hell ’ s Angels are already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is slated to coincide with Independence Day on the Fourth of July .
When do you have the right to shoot terrorists ?
The laws vary by state , but the basic right to self-defense is recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court For this section of this article , we encourage you to check local laws before deciding your course of action .
We do not condone the use of violence , except in cases where the deliberate use of measured and lawful violence halts aggressors who are determined to carry out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people .
Black Lives Matter and Antifa routinely invoke violence against innocent people to achieve their goals of political terror in America .
See this list of U.S. corporations that have declared their support for left-wing terrorism in America .
The list includes Apple , Netflix , Google , Disney and Microsoft , among others .
Any left-wing terrorist who attempts to throw a chunk of concrete at a police officer or member of the National Guard is engaged in a felony assault and , under nearly all laws in the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an armed citizen acting in the interests of protecting innocent life .
We aren ’ t sure if a jury in Seattle would find an armed citizen innocent even if they saved many lives , so if you choose to shoot terrorists in Seattle , do so at your own risk and recognize that nearly the entire population of Seattle is living under Black Lives Matter occupation , so jury intimidation would be a significant factor working against you .
( Because any jury that found you innocent would be hunted down and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Any terrorist attempting to set fire to a building should be shot on sight , we argue .
Arson is a violent crime that kills innocent people , including babies and children .
If you are committing arson , you probably deserve to be shot .
Any terrorist setting fire to police cars is also engaged in arson that may harm or kill innocent bystanders .
When cars are on fire , they often explode .
The tires explode , too , sending shrapnel in all directions , potentially harming or killing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against vehicles should be also probably be shot on sight , not due to the property damage but due to their initiation of events which could harm or kill others .
Any person carrying chunks of concrete in backpacks or delivering bricks on pallets should be arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder , as well as sedition .
Although you should check your local laws , under existing law in most U.S. states as well as a multitude of U.S. Supreme Court decisions , any violent , armed mob that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to injure or kill innocent people may be fired upon in self-defense .
This is true in “ stand your ground ” states even when you have a means of escape but choose to stand your ground .
Subject to interpretation by courts and the local DA , it ’ s also true even if individual members of the mob have not yet committed acts of violence against you but show clear signs that they intend to do so .
Their participation in the violent mob is often deemed sufficient to invoke your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of many ( but not all ) U.S. states .
In other words , in most U.S. states , you do not have to wait to be attacked in order to assert your right to self-defense .
Check your local laws to be certain .
We believe it is time for U.S. citizens to assert their right of self-defense against the violent left-wing terrorist mobs .
Those mobs are committed to carrying out killings , executions , arson , property destruction , beatings , kidnappings and worse .
They are currently holding hundreds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ downtown Seattle .
Every member of Black Lives Matter or Antifa is a terrorist , and when terrorists are actively engaged in acts that pose imminent risk of harm or death to innocent people , they may be shot on sight under most U.S. jurisdictions .
And they probably should be .
If you don ’ t draw a line in the sand and halt the aggression of left-wing lunatics , their demands and insane acts will only grow more bold and dangerous to society .
If you don ’ t stop them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soon seize the state capitol building and start making demands as if they control the entire state .
It is time for America to upgrade the Rules of Engagement against left-wing terrorists In summary , given that police are being ordered to stand down while mayors and governors allow actual left-wing terrorist groups to destroy property , threaten lives , imprison citizens and commit acts of violence against innocents , it is now up to the people of America to assert their own right to self-defense in place of the police who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they are ordered to stand down and evacuate ) .
There is no option remaining .
We can not live in a lawless society run by lunatic left-wing mobs that seize cities and declare themselves to be immune to all existing laws .
That ’ s anarchy , and freedom is not possible under anarchy .
If we do not defend the rule of law , then America collapses into anarchy ( which is what the Democrats want , of course ) .
If the police will not protect law and order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the job done themselves .
If that means shooting terrorists who are threatening innocent people with acts of imminent violence , then so be it .
America has taken enough abuse , destruction and chaos from the lawless , lunatic Left , and it ’ s time for America to stand her ground and defend the rule of law .
Lock and load , America .
Arm up in self-defense .
Obey the law and do not kneel to terrorists .
The Second Amendment has been activated , and the future of your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since political “ leaders ” have already surrendered America to left-wing terrorists who despise this nation and have been brainwashed by the fake news media , the universities and social media to seethe with HATRED and bigotry .
You are dealing with a zombie mob of emotionally-charged lunatics who can not be reasoned with and who refuse to abide by any laws whatsoever , even while they carry out acts of extreme violence against their targeted political enemies .
Are we really going to put up with this in America ?
Maybe it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the terrorists and restore law and order across our land .
Oh , and as a final note , word is that the DOJ is coming for Antifa leaders across America soon .
And if the DOJ doesn ’ t take them out , sooner or later the citizens will .
If you are a terrorist operating in America , your days are probably numbered .

Patriot groups to descend on Seattle this July 4th to retake CHAZ and free the prisoners inside
As reported by Big League Politics:
A group of self-styled “Bikers for Trump” is pledging to retake Seattle’s Capital Hill Autonomous Zone for the United States, planning on dismantling the anarchist commune on the Fourth of July.
Seattle city authorities have steadfastly refused to enforce the territorial integrity of the United States and their city, instead opting to allow ANTIFA-linked militants to stake out a secessionist project openly advertising rebellion from the United States. The American motorcyclists intend to step in and fill the void left vacant by the city’s authorities, laying out their plans for the operation in a Facebook event.
“On July 4th, Independence Day,a coalition of patriot groups and all who want to join are going to retake the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone for America. antifa members are illegally occupying public property and terrorizing small businesses in the neighborhood. American patriots have agreed to come together again, remove the barricades illegally obstructing traffic, and free the people in the zone.”
The group claims it will be unarmed. That seems unwise, given that the Black Lives Matter terrorists are armed and have already displayed a willingness to threaten people with violence. The goal of the patriot group seems simple:
We are not going to hurt anybody, break the law etc. We are simply going to tear down the illegal barriers on public property, clean up the mess these communist kids made, and return the police station over to Seattle Police Department control.
BLP adds:
Preliminary reports suggest that members of the Mongols MC and Hell’s Angels are already preparing to participate in the operation, which is slated to coincide with Independence Day on the Fourth of July.
