Pretty much exactly my thoughts. It doesn’t make sense for protestors to demand Seattle fund housing in a different city. But this quote:

“It is not appropriate” for protesters to be disruptive, Moore, a former King County Superior Court judge, continued. “We need to make sure that this does not happen going forward. We are shutting down the operations of a democracy because of a mob action. It is not to be tolerated.”

That just seems intentionally obtuse. The entire point of a protest is to be disruptive so that someone pays attention to their demands. In this case they just seem a little mis-directed. So let them speak then say “I appreciate your concerns, but you’re talking to the wrong people. Here’s what you should do instead…”
