Seattle Occupied Zone ‘CHOP’ Starts to Wear on Local Business Owners

Tense moments broke out Friday at the occupied zone in Seattle known as “CHOP.” Protestors faced off against cops and city workers, who were apparently sent there to move the barricades after all these weeks of occupation. The standoff comes as small business owners say they are fed up with “CHOP,” which stands for Capitol Hill Organized Protest. Local businesspeople have just filed a class action lawsuit accusing the city of Seattle of “enabling the occupation of CHOP."
