WestVirginiaRebel Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Seattle Times Organizers at the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, say they want to refocus the political energies of the three-week-old occupation around the abandoned East Precinct police station and shift away from Cal Anderson Park. On Sunday, several organizers in the six-block occupied zone said they were urging demonstrators still staying in the sprawling tent encampment at Cal Anderson Park to move to the street outside the East Precinct, at East Pine Street and 12th Avenue, where much of the protest’s leadership is located. Some organizers suggested the park encampment was becoming hard to manage and was hurting efforts to keep political pressure on the city for police reform. “Basically, it’s to bring the attention and the focus back onto why we’re here, occupy protesters, which is to get our demands met,” said organizer Angelica C as she stood outside the boarded-up precinct. “And the only way we can do that is to occupy this precinct right here.” ________ Stuck in place...
