What It's Really Like Inside Seattle's "Autonomous Zone"

- Coffee or Die’s Ethan E. Rocke traveled to Seattle to check out the protestor-controlled "autonomous zone." He was escorted out after it was made clear that journalists were not welcome, but fortunately he was still able to get plenty of coverage.
After more than a week of nationwide protests against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in police custody, protestors took over Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct in the early morning hours of June 8 after police and National Guard soldiers were ordered to leave the area.
Tyr Symank is a member of the Washington National Guard unit that helped Seattle Police secure the East Precinct just hours before Mayor Jenny Durkan ordered police to remove barriers protecting the East Precinct to “defuse and de-escalate” the situation.
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said she was angered by the decision, calling it “an insult to our community.” Protestors have since established what they have deemed the “Capitol Hill Occupation Protest,” or CHOP - a roughly six-block area where no police are being allowed in.

The police chief has admitted that rape, assaults and theft are happening widespread and I suspect no one will ever be punished. Time to give everyone there a 24 hour warning and a complete military assault would finish this or arrest the entire Seattle government for allowing mass crime. Hold them financially and criminally responsible.
CHAZ is a bait in waiting
Sadly responding to their bait of violence is a bad move
@LafeiAr I agree with you whole heartedly, as you say '' let them play and destroy the city.'' No way Trump must interfere with this democrat mess.
@@ssimba2785 sooooo true! Its a bear trap. President Trump must not interfere, he cant win.
That is a LIE
Nobody is going to destroy no city,it's a couple blocks that mean very little in a big picture,I think the most intelligent thing to do is to simply allow it to die a natural death.Don't attack it,there's no real need to provoke it,it will go away all by itself
Cut off power and electricity. No leaching off the backs of others.
Edit: build a wall and blockade the sewers too.
The problem is people live within that zone. Nobody, especially the mayor and governor seem to care about them or the business owner. Or for the rule of law for that matter.
@@boldie24 It's not that they don't care. They are weak, can't do anything about it. They lost control of their city.
If they're really gonna be "autonomous", they better figure out how to have their own infrastructure.
Everyone in the anarcho-communist revolution wants to be an artist, a poet, and a martyr, but no one wants to be a farmer or a sanitation or sewage worker.
I see this idea under every video about this. The power and water are going to the legal residents and businesses in the area, which are still operating. The protestors have their own generators and bring in bottled water. Come up with a better idea ffs
... These are citizen's of the united States who pay taxes. I'm not sure how they are leaching lol.
This is dangerous. They don't want cameras.
@@halwalinski4759 Equal means Communism
It’s a free state area but you can’t film. Lol
Sounds like Cuba and North Korea
jonestown
*China : Dam , at least you can film us just not our massacres*
That is a freak state
With a wall
List of countries are doing great with communism
Thank you fo watching!
THEN WHY ARE AMERICAN CAPITALISTS MANUFACTURING IN COMMUNIST CHINA?! (traitors who are worse than CHAZ/CHOP)
David Bacon you think China is practicing communism? Lol better do some googling before you speak
@@kylekam6879 It's literally run by the Communist Party of China...
@@kylekam6879 communist party of china they practice communism including reeducation camps I also heard it's the #1 destination of Muslims...google that jackass
CCP converted the economy to “state owned capitalism”. Which sounds similar to the economies of a couple of European countries in the 1930s and early 1940s.
So the camps and medical experiments fit right in.
Just imagine the smell in there.
A few dead bodies.
It is sick; if they want autonomous zone, then they must leave the United States.
Cant the american goverment take their passports or whatever validates them as american citizens?
Thats not how it works
Let them all go and renovate alcatraz island.
@@OutlawAngel75 Okay, they did destroy alot of stuff so far and even killed a few people.
ClubMayview then rain missiles on that island
What do you guys in the US usually call it when people try to secede from the country? My guess it will end when the power and water is cut off.
I think we still use the term secessionists here in the states for people with those kinds of ideals.
It's basically Animal Farm. Just waiting on Napoleon to announce that some animals are more equal than others.
True
The left has already said that a few years ago. Some college kid said Everyone is equal only some are more equal than others. Hahaha
Dafuq you mean they been saying it. Maybe you just weren't listening.
If this was a church in Texas near Waco or a family home in Idaho we know how this would end... I've seen some of the pictures of the armed people and there are definitely NFA violations. Where is the ATF or FBI-HRT now?
Avoiding bad press for "attacking a protest" probably.
Or just waiting to see how long they last
Yeah i currently live in Idaho but i was just visiting family in Washington and left before this all went down
Umm you talking about the Bundys that pointed guns at the feds and got pardon by trump?
because they are to many Tim movies out there that will get revenge
remember what Timothy McVie did
July 4th. is going to be independence day for seattle. Heard that some of our two wheeled friends are going to pay them a visit. Should be interesting.
I've been hearing that for awhile. Still waiting- and hoping. I hope everybody knows if the cavalry rides in, the govt will attack the righteous.
Looks like our American brothers on harleys wont be in sturgis this year, they will be freeing our neighborhood of these communist idiots. God bless America
It’s time to send in the adults! This is comedy gold. 😂
Don't stop the cameras. The rest of the world wants to know!!
The rest of the world wants to laugh at you.
Point still not proven. Making a trashed out homeless shelter in the middle of the street doesn't make anyone feel bad for you. smh...
Just to be clear, Coffee or Die isn't trying to make any point, just trying to give good on-the-ground coverage of things that effect our military, law enforcement, and veterans.
@@CoffeeorDie Yes I know that. I should have been more clear.
@@CoffeeorDie that's what I got from it showing us what's happening didnt think there was ment to be a point lol
@@CoffeeorDie it's a valuable Intel Recce, good work Trooper
This is a great video. Thank you. Now I can honestly say I will NEVER visit Seattle. What a weak, sad, local government. This is too much.
The parts of their government that should be weak are strong, and the parts that should be strong are weak.
Nothing like having "peace" beat into you.
It’s a good thing that nobody is taking these folks seriously. Otherwise the tanks would have rolled through by now.
If that ain't the truth!
that's the problem no 1 is taking it serious that's why they trying it in other cities now it needs to be stopped
@@martinmcmullen4067 those other cities are playing this game though. They tried in Portland and it was cleared and shut down the next day
@@richardbinkley8487 good I don't always get to watch the news glad people are starting to stand up like Nashville and Washington dc and portland as well
Just cut them off of EVERYTHING completely..!! EVERYTHING..!! And let them figure it out since they are so smart..!! ❤🇺🇸
How cute, the kids are all playing house. Wonder what happens when the free stuff runs out?
Turn off the water and electricity and don't allow them to cross their own barriers. Starve the scum.
Time to go back to moms house.
I've heard that most of them are jonesing for their video games already. Little do they know..mommy locked the basement door.
OMG They are sold...They are exactly enforcing what they are criticizing. No walls (they have), no stop & frisk (they do), no censorship (they do) and the list go on...This is unbelievable.
It's the world's largest open-air insane asylum....
I don't trust them
I see a lot of people that need love in their life I see lost souls they need love to heal.
Beautiful🙏
I see a bunch of people who have od'd on love and are aching for correction.
The first beautiful comment I've read in a video pertaining BLM/racism.
❤🙏🧘♂️🕊
It's Lenin, Stalin and all CCCP members dream coming true. America tearing itself apart
Yuri Bezmenov wasn't lying
Trotsky financed by Wall Street so they are actually following the communist party line and playbook to a T, capital for Tyranny...
That's right and now have three guesses where all of this is coming from. You can spend your entire GNP on buying nukes but if you can not protect your society from marxist aggitators you are going to the dogs. Just like Yuri Bezmenov said. Just like Joseph McCarthy said. They will brainwash your population and take control of their minds and you will be powerless to do anything about it because, for a large part, they control your thinking too. That's why we must all start by killing the marxist in ourselves.
COMMUNISM Killed Over 100 MILLION people WORLDWIDE !
This will end with bloodshed, the question is who starts the violence. It will end though.
I do not see it ending well. Cut off utilities, etc. They have no right to expect free utilities, garbage services, etc.
We should rain missiles on them
There was a murder yesterday.....it's happening, honeymoon is over.
Drugs, mental illness, anarchy, heavily armed "enforcers", mysterious cult leader, sounds familiar? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!!!!
They had a rally where they were saying “white people if you have 10$ give it to a African American” 😂
Big "IF" coming from that crowd. Got to hand it to them though thats some next level grifting.
This like something from iZombie. If the govt isn't going to smash them, then they need to be cordened off, nobody in or out & shut off all utilities. This Seattle thing is NOT a protest, it's an insurrection.
The storefronts no longer have glass in their windows or they are all boarded up and their buyback program bring Just bring the guards any gun, and they will give you a new tv. Yup real safe place .
Excellent video, thank you.
Ty for covering this
How is anyone even surprised by this? It's Seattle! Similar things have happened in the us throughout history. The sad thing here is there is no leadership and no clear goals. Without those, your doomed to fail regardless.
If they're worried about their message being distorted then the answer isn't to ban all video or audio recordings of their speeches. They should live stream everything happening in there so anyone can see what's happening. Let's be honest, if you don't like the protest you're not going to like it no matter what the video shows, ditto for people who support them.
They actually do have some live stream cameras set up around certain spots, all long distance though well, they are live, unless something goes down, they play repeats sometimes.
CHOP
Can't Hold Own Pacifier
When farmers did this in Idaho, took over an empty building in the woods the FBI came in a killed an innocent man! Why is this still going on?
My gosh all I see in near future is all of them being sick
So, at what point do you realize that the virus was WAY overblown? 2 protests with thousands of people? 4? 100? Are we there yet?
No cameras really? don't we have the right to know what's going on over there
I really thought Arkham City would’ve been a lot cooler than this in real life.
Just the beginning
Is this a coffee ad
I am sold
"It was a democratic decision" or ya know one guy with a megaphone and a couple a goons
Well the democrat Mayor allowed it too so
It's nice to finally see some journalistic integrity. Been too long. Well done all, and thank you.
These guys do create great content. While I agree they are being unbiased, it's a bit hard to show both sides of the story when one side refuses to allow independant media to capture content and tell their story. If they have nothing to hide and believe they are doing what is right, then they should embrace journalism and show the world how they are making change. Prohibiting rights creates suspicion. I agree with their cause and the need to change, I don't agree with the autonomous zone.
Time to cut off all services and internet. If it is such a great place to be they can look after them selves.
Glad we can count on you guys to give unbiased reporting with no ulterior agendas. There are plenty of hardline conservatives who will comment on this video calling the people there terrorists and suggesting extreme measures to squash this thing. There are also plenty of hardline liberals who think the whole country should follow this model. I think most of us are in between and just need good, accurate, unbiased reporting to formulate our own educated opinions on the matter.
That was (and is) our goal. Unbiased, on the ground reporting. We’ll leave how you feel about the situation up to you! -Marty
thank you so much.
I have been looking for a channel with good ole, none biased reporting. Thank you.
It's impossible for a fully functional person to watch this mess without bias. Yup. I'm biased. Also biased against violence against kids, poor toilet habits, hurricanes, salmonella, polio, armed robbery, religious persecution, poverty.. ......
This is a disaster waiting to happen. Once food and other supplies run out it's a wrap. I hope it ends well for them.
BLACK COFFEE MATTERS
I'll stand for that👍
"I can't breathe. " should read "I can't think. "
I was going to try this same thing in my hometown...but then I remembered I have to work in the morning😂
Arent you the lucky one.40 million Americans unemployment right now.
i like how that one guy says theres no violence when they literally just showed people harrasing the trio with american flags
2:43 - 3:08
A very polite critique. And how right he is.
Any organization that does not allow transparency and criticism is worthless. Chaz has became what they seek to destroy.
Freedom, justice, peace and brotherhood are these ppl are fighting for
Whens the cops going to clean this mess up?This is getting old so go do your jobs cops and bust some heads as its needed despertly.
yea lets bust heads of are fellow man don't you understand this is a boiling pot thats not going to end by beating heads
Looks like a wonderland!
i see a lot of kids having fun over these extended summer holidays
There's not a country in the world that would give these people what America has given them. I'm surprised we haven't seen flag burning.
Once they decide to not allow video recordings it becomes very corrupt.
Tanks...
Oh boy it’s just like the summer of 67 ,,in San Francisco ,,the summer of love except you know on steroids ,,,.this is over the top I can only imagine it’s going to get more insane
This is the best show going right now! I can't wait until it jumps the shark.
"No cameras" is a great step towards a free world. AMIRITE?
"Disobedience is the foundation of Liberty."
That guy summed it up well
Turn off the electricity and the water to the 6 blocks and the party is over in less than 3 days . Simple as that !
A democracy that doesn’t allow counter protests, freedom of the press, and restricts its citizens from moving about freely doesn’t sound like much of a democracy.
This is what the new terrorism looks like and should be addressed as such.
Man...if your a junkie..this is the city for you!whoop whoop!
Seriously, theft is being called "unplanned donation". Wait until the serious criminals start rollong in there.
People can tear down statues but people can't tear down that
The irony telling them to turn off cameras and silence there right to a opinion just like the police in the early 2000s when cops would always take ppls cameras
When villagers don’t have an iron gollum
Democratic decision?
Trump is one of the best results of it!
I hope he gets reelected
This happens when u give more freedom to people than they handle
The sad thing is the tax payer will have to pay to clean this up!!!
Hold the Govenor, Mayor and city councilmen responsible. Felony crimes should be handed down and thier wealth should be confiscated to reimburse those damaged.
Full scale military assault with detention as all evidence is collected and catalogued, all criminals prosecuted and sentenced.
Justice served.
LOL they built themselves a PRISON YARD! LMAO lol lol lol
lol
lol
There’s no way this ends good, no matter what, someone is not going to feel good about what the other has chosen to do.
I really like your channel I think you've gotten access to some really interesting topics and they were well presented. I have a problem with how some of the comments have run in regards to this particular subject as they seem to run counter to the principles put forth in the constitution. There seems to be a lot of intolerance for peaceful protest, what's up with that? Does the Constitution only protect what some people believe in our society? Do only people with guns have the right to protest in front of State houses? Or does that freedom apply to everyone?
Are the commenters saying people shouldn't be allowed to protest?
Or are they just criticizing the protests?
You can be critical of someone's peaceful methods while still tolerating the methods.
If you're referring to CHAZ, however, that's not a peaceful protest. They literally seized a bunch of public and private property.
By force if necessary but this Hass to end now!
Have you ever heard about Venezuela's "Peace Zones" ? Places where police is not allowed to enter, so criminals can go around freely...
Please Take Notice : Government officials if you don't have this area under control and law and order inside America land.
We the people that believe in the flag of America on or about July 4th herein will enforce law and order.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The military should just surround the area cutting off their supplies, their food and water, their electricity, and their WiFi. Let them starve and fight among themselves.
LOVE IT
I dont think anyone in there knows how to adult. It's like they built a fort and anyone who doesn't agree with them gets kicked out lol.
Chaz is a real life sitcom! What a joke. No violence going on in there, just shootings.
Build a wall around the zone to keep them in and safe.
I've been there. Sooner or later, they are going to need medical response and authority.
Someone invite the hells angels over for the weekend!
This place looks absolutely disgusting.
Woozer, those that blocked the camera better not ask for any transparency, or they would be called hypocrites
Not one adult with a career..home..or any real assets. These are called losers in life.
Something needs to happen. Like the gentleman towards the end of the video said " This is still a part of the United States ". What are we doing just watching them get away with shit!
The news network crying about these ppl were so supportive of the Bundy stand-off. I wonder why?
4 lines of tanks.... 5 in each line.... 8 mins... job well done!
So in hind sight how many people where shot inside there again?
STAGED
Block them in and stop any utilities of any kind and no deliveries of anything.
I imagine it really stinks.
Mass media dont cover this ....
Weard or what
So why no cameras?
That's the question.
I have no idea but it's odd
The most spoilt, overindulged, delusional children I’ve ever seen. Mind numbing. God help America.
