Activist held a noise demo Sunday evening at councilman Bob Kettle's house(the guy who called the cops on public commentors).
Councilman Kettle is ramming through the new Seattle stop and frisk law SOAP/SODA. It targets anyone who looks homeless, is dressed similarly to a sexworker or looks like they do drugs and enables cops and courts to banish people from large swaths of neighborhoods.
Unsurprisingly, Bob Kettle lives in Seattle's favorite Sun Down town.

I dipped out of the city council meeting to watch the I-137 community forum, was pretty obvious how this was gonna play out.
The council has passed the SODA/SOAP bills which makes looking like a homeless person, a sex worker, or drug user in Seattle a reason a cop can stop you.
You can be banned from neighborhoods and fined $5k for existing in the wrong places.

It sounds like at least one person was trespassed and removed from the chambers. The cops have left.
The council members have brought the meeting back to session. Immediately, another activist stands up and begins protesting the councils excessive use of police and their bullshit yes votes on the bill.
The bill was then voted on and passed the committee.
