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."
