(Worthy News) -Demonstrators in Seattle who have taken over a six-block radius of the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, which they call an “autonomous zone” free of police, have published a list of demands.

“This is no simple request to end police brutality. We demand that the City Council and the Mayor, whoever that may be, implement these policy changes for the cultural and historic advancement of the City of Seattle, and to ease the struggles of its people,” a blog post by a user named “Free Capitol Hill” reads.

The list published includes the following demands:

“1. The Seattle Police Department and attached court system are beyond reform. We do not request reform, we demand abolition.

Stay watchful. Stay prayerful. Subscribe to the Worthy Brief by email.

“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. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
