Police officers are responding to some 911 calls coming from the so-called autonomous zone, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said, pushing back on claims that officers in her department have been instructed not to respond to 911 calls in the city’s Capitol Hill area.

A business located near the zone that was broken into late Sunday told The Epoch Times they called the police but officers never showed up.
