Only 13? And what do you mean "so far"? If that needs to be said, then IMO they aren't clearing it properly.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’: Police Storm Into CHAZ After Seattle Mayor Orders ‘Occupied’ Area Cleared; 13 Arrested So Far
Seattle police stormed into the city’s protest zone early Wednesday morning, shortly after Mayor Jenny Durkan issued an executive order that demanded protesters leave the area, which has been occupied for more than two weeks.
As police flooded into the zone, protesters responded with chants and calls for them to leave. The protesters had erected barricades and occupied several blocks around a park and the east precinct of the Seattle Police Department after police fled, dubbing the zone the Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP.
“Police issued the order to disperse around 5 a.m. local time Wednesday, telling protesters to leave within eight minutes,” Fox News reported. “At least 13 protesters have been arrested so far for failing to clear the area, police said.”
“Anyone who remains in the area, or returns to the area, is subject to arrest,” the Seattle Police Department wrote early Wednesday morning on Twitter.
The mayor’s order came after several shootings in the CHOP zone that left two teenagers dead and three other people. Other violent crimes have also occurred in the zone, police said.
“Officers enforcing today’s order are wearing a higher-level of protective gear. Police are utilizing this equipment because individuals associated w/the CHOP are known to be armed and dangerous/may be associated with shootings, homicides, robberies, assaults & other violent crimes,” the police wrote on Twitter.
“Enough is enough,” Police Chief Carmen Best said in a statement. “The CHOP has become lawless and brutal. Four shootings – two fatal – robberies, assaults, violence and countless property crimes have occurred in this several block area.”
“We must continue our efforts to build trust and redefine our roles as guardians in our city,” Best said.
