    Probe: Seattle cops improperly faked right-wing radio talk

    The radio chatter about members of the Proud Boys marching around downtown Seattle, some possibly carrying guns, and then heading to confront protesters on Capitol Hill was an improper “ruse,” or dishonest ploy, that exacerbated a volatile situation, The Seattle Times reported. That’s according to findings released Wednesday by the city’s Office of Police Accountability (OPA).

    It's called 'innovative progressive policing' much like this -

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

    It was alleged that Named Employee #1 may have overseen the inappropriate use of a ruse during the 2020 protests.
    It was further alleged that Named Employee #2 improperly supervised the ruse and that Named Employees #3 through
    #6 violated policy by participating in the ruse.

    SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION:

    A. Background and Initial Review
    On November 18, 2020, OPA received an email from a journalist requesting information concerning radio
    transmissions allegedly made by SPD officers on June 8, 2020 concerning “spotting and then following a group of
    armed Proud Boys who were downtown and then were potentially on their way to Cal Anderson Park.” The journalist
    stated the following: “You might recall that on June 8th, this was the day the SPD vacated the East Precinct. There was
    radio chatter that the Proud Boys were heading to Capitol Hill and protesters began building barricades and arming
    themselves.” The journalist also provided a screenshot of a June 9, 2020 Seattle Times article that referenced a
    rumored appearance of the Proud Boys that never materialized. The journalist lastly provided audio recordings of the
    alleged SPD transmissions to OPA


    seattletimes.com: Seattle police faked radio chatter about Proud Boys as CHOP formed in 2020, investigation finds

    Jan. 5, 2022
    The officers who participated described a group gathering by City Hall and moving around downtown. They delivered reports such as, “It looks like a few of them might be open carrying,” and: “Hearing from the Proud Boys group. … They may be looking for somewhere else for confrontation.”

    Social media posts warning about the Proud Boys by people who were monitoring police radio transmissions caused alarm in the protest zone, where some people armed and barricaded themselves that night. Though some people in the zone may have brought guns regardless of the chatter, the ruse “improperly added fuel to the fire,” OPA Director Andrew Myerberg concluded...

    An operations center officer labeled “Named Employee #2” told OPA he was assigned by Grenon [Employee #1] to carry out the misinformation effort by organizing some officers to “focus some attention on a location different than where the main police and protest interactions were happening.” He said he didn’t remember the Proud Boys ruse but also didn’t consider it inappropriate. The aim was to “make the broadcast seem realistic” rather than to “incite fear,” he said.

    In a second interview with OPA, Grenon said the use of the Proud Boys was contrary to his guidance to Named Employee #2 and said the point of the misinformation effort was to protect officers from being ambushed.

    Reached Wednesday by phone, Grenon said he was looking for “an innocent way to just throw out some distraction” at a time when the Police Department was short-handed and under pressure...

    “The use of the Proud Boys when it was known that the transmissions would be monitored took a volatile situation and made it even more so,” Myerberg wrote, arguing it was reasonably foreseeable that the CHOP protesters would be worried and would “take steps to arm and defend themselves.”
    Uh-huh... just an innocent distraction...

    Seems somewhat related:

    bbc.com: Proud Boys: Canada labels far-right group a terrorist entity
    3 February 2021
    Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said the decision was influenced by the group's "pivotal role" in the 6 January riots at the Capitol in Washington, DC.

    The designation allows the Proud Boys' assets to be frozen, and members of the groups could be charged with terrorist offences
    And such false reporting for Antifa (and the like) monitoring Could have easily led to something like this:

    “They hunted him down — they hunted us down,” he said, believing the gunman noticed their caps in support of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, which Pappas again wore during the interview.

    “It didn’t even register that someone was pointing a gun at us until the shots went off and he took off running,” he said of the shooting that was caught on video.

    Terrorism: "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims:"

    Last several years it has been obvious police and courts will generally ignore and support Antifa terrorism when Antifa is burning down business districts, disrupting and terrorizing (sometimes actual killing) any irl political activity other than globalist communism and will not often significantly resist when Antifa attempts to damage and destroy existing government and private property.

    What happens when Antifa attempts to protect and prevent a public owned patch of woods and nature from being destroyed and (for a change) is not technically committing terrorism?

    Well the police and corporate press will now start calling them terrorists. lol

    A display of renovative progressive policing, and the corporate press that did not call Antifa terrorism terrorism now calling Antifa terrorists when this is not political.

    dailymail.co.uk: Five Antifa members are charged with domestic terrorism: Cops swoop on Atlanta autonomous zone and find explosives - after locals were ambushed and homes set alight
    15 December 2022
    The official reasoning for the protest, according to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is environmental concern for the Weelaunee Forest. The center would cut out 381 acres of the woods.

    Among the photos documenting the protest is an image of a group of ski mask-clad protesters standing over a truck with a banner reading: 'No forest, no peace, truck the police' as well as a smaller sign that read: 'No Cop City.' ...

    Earlier this week, the GBI said that protesters had begun attacking police and other emergency services workers at the scene with rocks and bottles. After officers cleared the area, they recovered bombs, flares and gasoline, authorities said.

    Multiple crimes occurred on Saturday when the local fire department was called to the scene to extinguish a dumpster fire...

    The group said that dozens of police officers and undercover cops descended on the scene. After the initial arrest, officers began 'coming through the woods to clear anybody and everybody,' a local official told AJC...

    Convictions of domestic terrorism carry with it sentences of anywhere between five and 35 years in prison. The group is being held at DeKalb County Jail.
    The police are even killing Antifa protestor protecting the woods.

    dailymail.co.uk:Antifa protester who was shot dead by Atlanta cops after he opened fire and hit one of them as they tried to clear woodland 'autonomous zone' to make way for new police HQ
    19 January 2023
    The man killed during a deadly shootout at Atlanta's 'cop city' has been identified as Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, 26 and seven others were slapped with domestic terrorism and criminal trespass charges.

    The 26-year-old was shot dead after allegedly opening fire at a Georgia State Patrol trooper during a 'clearing operation' of the so-called autonomous zone at the site of a future $90 million Atlanta Public Safety Training Center on Wednesday.

    Since June 2021, Antifa and other far-left extremists from across the US have occupied the area to prevent the construction of what they've dubbed 'cop city.'...

    During the multi-agency operation GBI said approximately 25 campsites were located and removed from the site.

    Additionally, mortar style fireworks, multiple edged weapons, pellet rifles, gas masks, and a blow torch were recovered.

    Three people contacted in connection with the materials were asked to provide their names to authorities and then let go...

    The Atlanta Community Press Collective paid tribute to Teran, who they say identified with they/it pronouns and also went by the names 'Cami,' 'Tortuguita' or 'Tort.'

    They wrote: 'We are devastated by the loss of our friend who was killed by the police. Tortuguita was a kind, passionate, and loving person, cherished by their community.'

    'They spent their time between Atlanta, defending the forest from destruction and coordinating mutual aid for the movement and, and Florida where they helped build housing in low-income communities hit hardest by the hurricane.

    'They were a trained medic, a loving partner, a dear friend, a brave soul, and so much more. In Tort's name, we continue to fight to protect the forest and stop cop city with love, rage, and a commitment to each other's safety and well-being.'...

    In May, eight militants were arrested after police patrolling the area were assaulted and pelted with rocks and Molotov cocktails.

    Five people were arrested on December 13 for allegedly plotting terror attacks at the soon-to-be police academy.
