The city of Seattle is paying $10 million to 50 BLM rioters for “excessive force” claims against police from the 2020 riots, amounting to $200,000 each; other cities are doing the same such as NYC giving $10,000 to every BLM rioter who was only even ARRESTED

This news broadcast shows the type of violence that occurred during the 2020 Seattle BLM riots.

Fifty Seattle Black Lives Matter rioters from 2020 have received $10 million compensation from the city of Seattle for their claims of “excessive force” by police trying to stop their rioting, amounting to each of the rioters receiving $200,000.

“Black Lives Matter” is a group that is run by the political Establishment which intentionally creates a false impression of racist police bias in order to cause violent rioting to create an excuse to implement Establishment agendas— such as to replace traditional police forces with Marxist “community policing.”

The Seattle police have a long history of being secretly complicit with violent Establishment provocateur groups, as this link explains.

Seattle City Attorney Ann Davidson said in a press release reported by The Federalist, “This decision was the best financial decision for the City considering risk, cost, and insurance.  The case has been a significant drain on the time and resources of the City and would have continued to be so through an estimated three-month trial that was scheduled to begin in May.  This settlement resolves the majority of the remaining claims arising out of the 2020 demonstration period …”  The press release also said that the city admits no wrongdoing in the case.

Other large cities have also been compensating their BLM rioters in a similar manner, where Denver gave $4.7 million to 300 BLM rioters arrested in 2020, Philadelphia gave $9 million, and New York City gave $13 million to 130,000 BLM members who were “arrested or subjected to force” which amounted to each receiving about $10k, even for only being arrested!

As had been their motivation all along, Seattle is now implementing Marxist “community policing” where traditional police are being replaced with unaccountable leftist operatives of the political Establishment, including even LGBTQ+ gender studies majors.  (See this link that explains what community policing actually is.)

(Also in parts of the U.S. with sizable Muslim populations such as New York City the community policing framework is starting to be used to implement Sharia patrols as has also been occurring in Europe.)
