A bit of justice for a family whos son was killed in the CHAZ/CHOP area back during the Floyd riots.

Seattle ordered to pay $30 million in CHOP teen's death

Hopefully this shows that cities and other localities can't let radicals take over parts of their cities without any consequences.

Mays Jr. was shot outside the East Precinct on June 29, 2020, after Seattle police had abandoned the station amid protests in the wake of George Floyd's death.

Jurors concluded the teen was alive and conscious after being shot, and likely bled to death while medical help was slow to respond.

"It was a system failure that resulted in the death of Antonio Mays Jr.," said the Mays family's attorney, Evan Oshan. "Just a complete failure of acceptance and responsibility. And that’s unforgivable."

It's too bad that "Seattle's finest" refers to coffee rather than its police force.

The CHOP Higher Ups illegally handed out 3 AR15 Rifles and 2 Ruger mini 14 Rifles and 5 Glock 19 Handguns to folks they deeemed worthy as Security ( just prior to the Shooting )

The insurrectionists should be held accountable for the chaos they caused.

Seattle doesn't have a police force.

Them as well, but the government forgot it is a far easier and more identifable target.

Here's what probably sunk them with regards to this lawsuit.

The day after the shooting, former Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan declared CHOP was unlawful and police cleared the area.

Great news, wonder where all the protests were for that?

Glad to see Seattle get their dick slapped but what was dead guy doing messing around in the abandoned police station anyway?
