Protesters at Seattle’s “Capitol Hill Organized Protest” (CHOP) zone are being encouraged by community leaders and an activist whose brother was fatally shot by city police in 2016 to leave the “occupied” protest zone.
A Twitter account, which claims to be the “official account” for CHOP, posted a statement on Wednesday addressed to “comrades in the struggle,” encouraging protesters to leave the area that was established earlier this month in the wake of Black American George Floyd’s death in police custody.
