They posted their list of demands a few hours ago:

Given the historical moment, we’ll begin with our demands pertaining to the Justice System.
  1. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition. We demand that the Seattle Council and the Mayor defund and abolish the Seattle Police Department and the attached Criminal Justice Apparatus. This means 100% of funding, including existing pensions for Seattle Police. At an equal level of priority we also demand that the city disallow the operations of ICE in the city of Seattle.
  2. In the transitionary period between now and the dismantlement of the Seattle Police Department, we demand that the use of armed force be banned entirely. No guns, no batons, no riot shields, no chemical weapons, especially against those exercising their First Amendment right as Americans to protest.
  3. We demand an end to the school-to-prison pipeline and the abolition of youth jails. Get kids out of prison, get cops out of schools. We also demand that the new youth prison being built in Seattle currently be repurposed.
  4. We demand that not the City government, nor the State government, but that the Federal government launch a full-scale investigation into past and current cases of police brutality in Seattle and Washington, as well as the re-opening of all closed cases reported to the Office of Police Accountability. In particular, we demand that cases particular to Seattle and Washington be reopened where no justice has been served, namely the cases of Iosia Faletogo, Damarius Butts, Isaiah Obet, Tommy Le, Shaun Fuhr, and Charleena Lyles.
  5. We demand reparations for victims of police brutality, in a form to be determined.
  6. We demand that the City of Seattle make the names of officers involved in police brutality a matter of public record. Anonymity should not even be a privilege in public service.
  7. We demand a retrial of all People in Color currently serving a prison sentence for violent crime, by a jury of their peers in their community.
  8. We demand decriminalization of the acts of protest, and amnesty for protestors generally, but specifically those involved in what has been termed “The George Floyd Rebellion” against the terrorist cell that previously occupied this area known as the Seattle Police Department. This includes the immediate release of all protestors currently being held in prison after the arrests made at 11th and Pine on Sunday night and early Saturday morning June 7th and 8th, and any other protesters arrested in the past two weeks of the uprising, the name Evan Hreha in particular comes to mind who filmed Seattle police macing a young girl and is now in jail.
  9. We demand that the City of Seattle and the State Government release any prisoner currently serving time for a marijuana-related offense and expunge the related conviction.
  10. We demand the City of Seattle and State Government release any prisoner currently serving time just for resisting arrest if there are no other related charges, and that those convictions should also be expunged.
  11. We demand that prisoners currently serving time be given the full and unrestricted right to vote, and for Washington State to pass legislation specifically breaking from Federal law that prevents felons from being able to vote.
  12. We demand an end to prosecutorial immunity for police officers in the time between now and the dissolution of the SPD and extant justice system.
  13. We demand the abolition of imprisonment, generally speaking, but especially the abolition of both youth prisons and privately-owned, for-profit prisons.
  14. We demand in replacement of the current criminal justice system the creation of restorative/transformative accountability programs as a replacement for imprisonment.
  15. We demand autonomy be given to the people to create localized anti-crime systems.
  16. We demand that the Seattle Police Department, between now and the time of its abolition in the near future, empty its “lost and found” and return property owned by denizens of the city.
  17. We demand justice for those who have been sexually harassed or abused by the Seattle Police Department or prison guards in the state of Washington.
  18. We demand that between now and the abolition of the SPD that each and every SPD officer turn on their body cameras, and that the body camera video of all Seattle police should be a matter of easily accessible public record.
  19. We demand that the funding previously used for Seattle Police be redirected into: A) Socialized Health and Medicine for the City of Seattle. B) Free public housing, because housing is a right, not a privilege. C) Public education, to decrease the average class size in city schools and increase teacher salary. D) Naturalization services for immigrants to the United States living here undocumented. (We demand they be called “undocumented” because no person is illegal.) E) General community development. Parks, etc.
We also have economic demands that must be addressed.
  1. We demand the de-gentrification of Seattle, starting with rent control.
  2. We demand the restoration of city funding for arts and culture to re-establish the once-rich local cultural identity of Seattle.
  3. We demand free college for the people of the state of Washington, due to the overwhelming effect that education has on economic success, and the correlated overwhelming impact of poverty on people of color, as a form of reparations for the treatment of Black people in this state and country.
  4. We demand that between now and the abolition of the SPD that Seattle Police be prohibited from performing “homeless sweeps” that displace and disturb our homeless neighbors, and on equal footing we demand an end to all evictions.
  5. We demand a decentralized election process to give the citizens of Seattle a greater ability to select candidates for public office such that we are not forced to choose at the poll between equally undesirable options. There are multiple systems and policies in place which make it impractical at best for working-class people to run for public office, all of which must go, starting with any fees associated with applying to run for public office.
Related to economic demands, we also have demands pertaining to what we would formally call “Health and Human Services.”
  1. We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients.
  2. We demand the people of Seattle seek out and proudly support Black-owned businesses. Your money is our power and sustainability.
  3. We demand that the city create an entirely separate system staffed by mental health experts to respond to 911 calls pertaining to mental health crises, and insist that all involved in such a program be put through thorough, rigorous training in conflict de-escalation.
Finally, let us now address our demands regarding the education system in the City of Seattle and State of Washington.
  1. We demand that the history of Black and Native Americans be given a significantly greater focus in the Washington State education curriculum.
  2. We demand that thorough anti-bias training become a legal requirement for all jobs in the education system, as well as in the medical profession and in mass media.
  3. We demand the City of Seattle and State of Washington remove any and all monuments dedicated to historical figures of the Confederacy, whose treasonous attempts to build an America with slavery as a permanent fixture were an affront to the human race.

They're already pretty tatted up. Wouldn't be surprising.

I mean, I'll give them points for actually having come up with a list of demands. At least if you're going to go full tard on this thing, you might as well make sure people know what you want, so they can see the full degree of your exceptionalism.

It does make me wonder, though: how many of them actually think this is going to work, how many are just doing this to "make a statement", and how many are just along for the ride?

Oh god that list of demands is so exceptional. Rent control to stop gentrification... Black doctors to treat black patients... but the funniest is;

"Federal government launch a full-scale investigation into past and current cases of police brutality in Seattle and Washington "

They want DRUMPF to crack down on Seattle :story:

All 25 cases. Like MPLS had like under 50 cases of police brutality in like 40 years.

Edit: I pulled 25 out my ass. I don't know how many cases Seattle has had of police brutality.

Hopefully the govt builds a big, beautiful wall around the commune before cutting off the electricity. Actually scratch that, I'd love to see the fervent cry-tweeting once they can't have people come in to deliver them bagels and poke.

I do feel bad for all the women who will get badtouched, though. Being in a troon-led commune sounds like an absolute nightmare.

I look forward to the George Floyd statue being erected in front of the central committee building.

I wonder if this bustling little commune has a ball pit yet.

This is beautiful. Trump is definitely going to just let this shitshow continue because wow, this is some of the best "this is what happens when the Democrats let their crazy supporters" take over advertising ever.

And I hope and pray when the federal government ignores their asses they not only try to secede, they get so retarded they call out for help from China since they are nominally commie or something else so blitheringly asinine and insane even the most sympathetic Democrat turns aghast with horror at the shitpile of horrible optics they gave birth to.

Meh, don't. Callous as it sounds, these are the kinds of girls that already have been badtouched many times before this to make that much of a difference or they were at least very well on their way to being so somewhere else some other time. The choices these girls have made in their lives have brought them here, nothing about this is accidental on their part, no matter how much they deny the fact they really have no one to blame but themselves

They have support coming in, so they won't starve in under a week, but actually handling the logistics of everything and not tearing themselves apart from drama will be the first cracks I think.

Oh yeah they are going to fight over the high value items that get brought in.

Here's what I expect to happen:

Power and water will eventually be cut off from the occupied area. Lack of running water for maintaining a basic level of cleanliness will lead to a surge of disease and illness. If the military gets involved the could easily cut off access in and out of the commune. I imagine most people will get a clue and surrender themselves while the more intense anarchists will be harder to dislodge.

I'm gonna be watching this event unfold with great interest.
