US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has threatened to “take back” Seattle from “domestic terrorists” who have established a police-free zone, if the mayor and Washington’s state governor refuse to put an end to the peaceful occupation.
The police killing of African-American man George Floyd in Minneapolis last month has sparked intense protests across the US and worldwide, with those in Seattle centred on the city’s historically countercultural neighbourhood of Capitol Hill.
However, the near nightly tear-gassing of demonstrators came to an end on Tuesday night when the local police station was abandoned by the Seattle force.
