The Rise and Fall of the Seattle CHOP
Throughout June, the Captiol Hill area of #Seattle became a battleground between anti-police-brutality protesters and the cops. After several nights of fighting, the police pulled out and the protesters took over the area. What followed was a no-police protest zone that spanned six blocks. This became know as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP).
Initially, the CHOP was intended to be a peaceful co-op that aimed to bring attention to black activism. What followed was a controversial few weeks that ended with the deadly shootings of three people.
Popular Front was on the ground to witness it all. This is the rise and fall of the Seattle CHOP, a documenatry by Johnny LeFlare and Max Curtis.
