Seattle police's CHOP sweep brought arrests but quick release from jail as well
|
[KOMONEWS] After spending several hours behind bars Wednesday, Rashyla Levitt returned Thursday to the streets, protesting and confronting authorities just a day after Seattle Police Department officers swept through the area that had been known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.
"We are back with the fire and we are ready to go," she said.
Levitt was one 44 people arrested early Wednesday morning in Capitol Hill as police moved in during a predawn operation that pushed a handful of demonstrators from the area. Police charged Levitt with failure to disperse, but since it was only a misdemeanor, the judge released her.
The hasty release raised questions about if the protesters would quickly reassemble.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Summer of Love Durkan
 ...Democrat Maress of Seattle, who allowed a chunk of the downtown of her city to be turned into an autonomous combat zone...
set the tone early on, and now every protester arrested during the CHOP sweep, including those accused of assaulting officers or resisting arrest, has been released from jail. During a news conference Thursday, the mayor said the city should be compassionate.
"I fully support SPD’s operations this morning and the arrests and bookings were appropriate," she said. "But as we move forward in healing, alternatives to charging and criminal sanctions are also important."
