Seattle police union chief: City leaders have 'lost all political will to enforce the rule of law'
The city leadership in Seattle has “lost all the political will to enforce the rule of law,” according to Michael Solan, president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild.
“There is an unreasonable activist trench that is, unfortunately, stealing the peaceful protest message for justice for George Floyd,” Solan told “The Ingraham Angle” on Wednesday night.
Solan said that activists continue to occupy a six-block area in the city of Seattle that includes a shuttered police precinct.
“It is absolutely unreasonable activism and we are pulling our hair out because we are true public safety professionals that took an oath of service," he said. "And we are holding our elected leaders responsible for this travesty on the overall amazing Seattle community that are law-abiding citizens that are yearning for police officer’s public safety services,” Solan said.
Hundreds of protesters, aided by a sympathetic city council member, stormed Seattle's City Hall Tuesday night to demand the mayor's resignation, just days after seizing the six-block downtown zone.
Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.
