BLM Barriers - End Systemic Racism
On June 16, 2020, the City of Seattle erected concrete barriers down the middle of the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) and opened the street for traffic. Almost immediately, the barriers were covered in colorful street art protesting police brutality.

This mural painted at CHOP in Seattle onto a concrete barricade placed by SDOT. It was located in front of the loading zone at the East Precinct and was painted the day after the barricades were put in.

Love + Rage on an Upside Down US Flag
U.S. flag draped, upside down, on plywood where the entrance to the East Precinct usually is. "Love + Rage BLM" is written across the stripes in black spray paint.
Quote in small print sharpie under the word "Rage." The Quote reads "'Do not let anyone quench your fire. Do not let them dismiss your love nor pacify your rage. My Love, DO NOT WATER YOURSELF DOWN.' Charlie Landeros. Murdered by EPD while picking up children from school January 11th 2019."
Displaying a flag upside down is symbolic of great distress in the midst of danger to life or property. In this instance, it may be correct to say that the flag is representing the distress felt by American people as a result of police corruption, brutality, and the murders of so many Black people.

THESE ARE NOT "BARRICADES" THEY'RE BULLSHIT
This is a photo of one of the barricades set up by the Seattle Department of Transportation after an agreement between some CHOP/CHAZ organizers and the city of Seattle. The agreement was controversial and contributed to the ultimate dismantling of the occupation. The city encouraged residents to paint on the new barricades (as opposed to the property around the area).

Seattle People Department
The entrance to the occupied East Precinct in CHOP/CHAZ in Seattle. It's covered with art calling for funding for Black communities, defunding the police, ACAB, BLM, and equality.
The sign for the Seattle Police Department has been partially covered in graffiti, so it now reads "Seattle People Department."

Seattle People Department
A photo taken during the now-infamous protestor occupation (CHOP) of the East Police Precinct in Capitol Hill, Seattle. From the contributor: "My photo depicts the alteration to the entrance sign, reading "Seattle PEOPLE Department." This was the main stage of the CHOP, with many speeches given outside/around the precinct as large crowds clustered in the area."
