[Fox News] Seattle protesters storm City Hall, demand mayor resign after driving police out of area, declaring autonomous zone

Hundreds of protesters, aided by a sympathetic City Council member, stormed Seattle's City Hall Tuesday night to demand the mayor's resignation, just days after seizing a six-block downtown zone that includes a shuttered police precinct.

Demonstrators remained peaceful, without reports of violence or injuries, but are pushing Mayor Jenny Durkan to step down if she refuses to defund the city's police department.

The protesters continued to camp out in a self-declared "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ)-- a region spanning six blocks and encompassing the precinct-- which has effectively been abandoned by law enforcement after the Seattle Police Department closed the East Precinct on Monday.
Much more at link, with pictures.
Courtesy of lord garth, Red State reports on the above-unnamed City Council member and the events leading up to the storming. Lots of tweets with video at the link:
Late on Tuesday night, hundreds of protestors entered Seattle City Hall. It is believed that City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, who has a key to the building, opened it up for them.

Sawant called her colleagues "sellouts" and "corporate politicians.

Earlier on Tuesday, Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County filed a lawsuit against the Seattle Police Department over the “violent tactics it has used to break up largely peaceful protests in recent days.”
