Is there any evidence behind the assertion that the protestors have themselves have shot anyone? I gather there has been a small explosion of violent crime in Seattle, but that's not the same thing as accusing the protestors of being behind every murder. By that logic, the sainted Martin Luther King Jr, sweet beloved darling of the moderate left, murdered dozens if not hundreds of people thoughout his career. So did John Lewis. Hell, CHOP isn't even that culpable, as they didn't originally set out to occupy the neighborhood; the police chose it, by muscling in on the neighborhood and teargassing people in their homes. CHOP was always a defensive protest, and it has now been violently dismantled by the police, leaving... what? The CHOP zone was first cleared out on the first of July; they've had 18 days now to brutalize the population into line as they pleased. Almost as long as CHOP/CHAZ itself existed.
So, is it a crime-free paradise in Capitol Hill now that the metaphorical "peace officers" are back in charge?
