So a precinct had little alternative but to protect their property. We see it day after day now, police cars getting destroyed and police stations having windows broken and attacked, and one completely destroyed.
And this woman is complaining that they "abandoned" the precinct. The captain explained otherwise, as if that would matter to some of them. And with massive crowds surrounding the place, it only shows me that they made the right decision. And left and right police officers are being told to stand down, so you don't see a presence here of them confronting any protesters.
Basically, some would only be happy if the police were forced to allow all destruction and stay in the face of all of it and take whatever comes their way. :rolleyes:

‘If That’s Not Abandoning, You Tell Me What Is’: Seattle Police Board Up East Precinct From Protests, Riots
Seattle police officers boarded up their East Precinct building as riots continue throughout the Pacific Northwest over the death of George Floyd.
Footage of the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct showed that the building is boarded up and surrounded by masked protesters. No police officers are present in the video. The precinct has been the center of demonstrations in Seattle, and police officers have abandoned the building, The New York Times reported.
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said Monday, however, that the department was not “going to evacuate or abandon the East Precinct. We will be hardening the East Precinct facility by boarding up the exterior windows, and applying fire retardant to the building exterior and installing fencing.”

The move came after the Minneapolis Police Department abandoned the 3rd Police Precinct to rioters May 28. Rioters proceeded to set the precinct on fire.
“Shortly after 10:00 pm tonight, in the interest of the safety of our personnel, the Minneapolis Police Department evacuated the 3rd Precinct of its staff,” the Minneapolis police confirmed in a May 28 statement. “Protesters forcibly entered the building and have ignited several fires. No further information is available.”
Riots and protests continue throughout Oregon and Washington, prompting changes within both police departments and political leadership. At least two city council members in Seattle have asked Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign, TheNYT reported.
Protesters in Portland, Oregon, shut down Interstate 84 on Monday and other Seattle protesters moved barricades to make a demonstration space in the Seattle Capitol Hill neighborhood, according to TheNYT.
