U.S. city that allowed anarchists to occupy it now sued by black family over son's murder

The city government that allowed Black Lives Matter activists and anarchists to take control of a portion of Seattle is the target of a lawsuit by the family of a black teenager whose murder in the occupied territory remains unsolved

• 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. contends their son might still be alive if not for the failure of city leadership to provide medical, police and emergency services to the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, known as CHOP, during the summer 2020 riots.
• The lawsuit implicates Solomon "Raz" Simone, a local Seattle hip-hop artist, for his role as the CHOP zone's "de facto police chief."
• ultimate responsibility rests with city leadership for not intervening when Simone allegedly was arming his "makeshift police force" from the trunk of a Tesla filled with AR-15 style rifles.
