in CHAZ / CHOP, lib Seattle "Defunded The Police"; gangs formed, murdered kid; now Seattle owes his family $31 million

"Antonio Mays Jr. was shot during the final days of the BLM and Antifa armed takeover in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood."
The occupied area formed after police withdrew from the East Precinct during the nationwide protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The jury found the city negligent for failing to respond effectively. They also found that first responders did not enter the protest zone...The verdict included $4 million to Mays’ estate and $26 million to his father, Antonio Mays Sr.
Mays, who had traveled to Seattle from Southern California, was killed in a shooting towards the end of the CHAZ occupation when the zone’s “security” opened fire on a vehicle he was in. It took about 24 minutes for Mays to be brought to medics after bystanders attempted to transport him out of the zone, and the family’s attorneys argued he might have survived if his airway had been cleared sooner.
