The City of Seattle on Wednesday cleared the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHOP)—set up last month by Black Lives Matter demonstrators, anarchists, and self-described Marxists—as police arrested some remaining protesters on Thursday morning.
The police department wrote that individuals in a crowd of demonstrators were throwing bottles at officers.
