Former Trump Admin official Rich Higgins has posted a thread of information about the demonic anarchy inside of the Seattle CHAZ/CHOP. Although this information is unverified, we wanted to bring it to your attention.

The situation in Seattle is pretty funny if you are looking from the outside in, but it is definitely not a joke to the few decent people still remaining in Seattle. President Trump and Attorney General Barr need to be very careful about getting baited into a situation that is very dangerous, and could turn ugly fast. However, if they do not intervene, then they risk appearing aloof to the needs of the American people who are not safely ensconced in D.C. behind Secret Service protection. The political leadership in this country has a duty to enforce law and order and preserve the good. Perhaps it would be a good start if A.G. Barr began making high-level arrests of governors, mayors, and police chiefs for failure to protect the citizenry.

“State-Created Danger” Liability

More common than a claim of liability based on the “special relationship” doctrine is a claim that someone who was not in police custody nevertheless came to injury or death at the hands of another, or via human or natural hazards, because of something police did or failed to do in circumstances of obvious danger. This is the “state-created danger” theory of liability.

“Although the state’s failure to protect an individual against private violence does not generally violate the guarantee of due process, it can where the state action affirmatively places the plaintiff in a position of danger, that is, where state action creates or exposes an individual to a danger which he or she would not otherwise have faced.” (Kennedy v. Ridgefield) [Police Mag]
