Checking in on the CHAZ, this week
Bill Radke reviews the week's news with Civic editor for Geekwire, Monica Nickelsburg, staff writer at The Stranger, Jasmyne Keimig, and investigative editor for the Seattle Times, Jonathan Martin
This week saw the creation of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. What was it like in Capitol Hill prior to the zone, and how has it changed?
Plus, we're seeing suggestions for policy changes at both a city and state level. How many of them are likely to become reality? And what do protesters think of the city council, and particularly councilmember Kshama Sawant?
Also, there is one piece of technology that is at the heart of the police brutality publicity, investigations, protests, and the police response. The camera. How has recording equipment changed both policing and protesting?
Additionally, we're seeing a shift in how white Americans think about the justice system and race. What's caused this change? And is it related to the racist monuments we've seen come down around the world?
Finally, there is still a pandemic going on. Washington is technically in phase 1.5. What does that look like?
