Synopsis
A protest zone in Seattle is completely without police presence, after officers recently left the area after protests calling for accountability and an end to police violence. The area is now known as the Capital Hill Occupied Protest. Volunteers have defused fights, protected stores from vandalism and handled mental health crises. There was also a fatal shooting in the area this weekend. We talk with Gregory Scruggs, a Seattle-based reporter who lives near CHOP and is covering the story.
