Following a rash of shootings and violence, Seattle’s Department of Transportation started clearing some barriers marking the entry to the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, on Tuesday.

City workers were seen with heavy machinery removing the barriers. Some protesters then took items, including trash cans, to block off an area in CHOP, according to video footage.
