    Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz went to Seattle's Capitol Hill
    Organized Protest area recently and shared with Fox News footage of
    his interaction with Jaiden Grayson and other leaders of the movement.

    "Every day that I show up here, I'm not here to peacefully protest,"
    Grayson told the "U.N. Me" filmmaker, who also embedded himself in
    Minneapolis protests earlier this month.

    "I'm here to disrupt until my demands are met," Grayson continued.
    "You cannot rebuild until you break it all the way down."

    The CHOP group has blocked off six city blocks in downtown Seattle,
    where the East Precinct is located, as an act of protest for the police-involved death of George Floyd on May 25. On Tuesday,
    protesters reached an agreement with the city to reduce the occupied
    area to three blocks and to allow traffic. The agreement came a day
    after the Seattle City Council voted to ban police from using
    chokeholds and crowd-control devices like tear gas and pepper spray.

    Grayson said that they will not stop until their demands are met "by
    any means necessary."

    "It's not a slogan. It's not even a warning," Grayson said. "I'm
    letting people know what comes next."

    "If the Seattle Police Department turns in their badges, we'll have
    made a move forward," Grayson said.

    The group has published a list of demands for the city council and
    mayor, including abolishing the police, prisons, courts and criminal
    justice system "as we know it today."
