Moment woke Seattle 'harm reduction' worker tries to stop reporter filming taxpayer-funded meth pipes being handed out to vagrants in public

Shocking video shows the moment a Seattle-based social worker tried to push and stop a news reporter from filming a drug camp as they distributed 'aid supplies'. 

Jonathan Choe was outside Dow Constantine's drug camp in King County when he recorded public workers conducting a 'harm reduction' operation - aimed at providing treatment and medication to those addicted to hard drugs. 

In the video, the seasoned Discovery Institute journalist can be seen approaching a van filled with supplies that were being distributed by two people in the camp. 

But Choe claims that instead of helping homeless addicts turn their life around, the duo were handing out 'meth pipes' and 'needles'.   

'They were giving away needles and fentanyl kits like candy. Not a single person was offered treatment,' he captioned his X post.

He also went on to reveal that the bag of supplies he received from the workers shockingly contained huge bags of syringes, pipes, foil and what seemed to be black straws. 

As Choe boldly continued to film the welfare workers' activities, he was repeatedly being told to switch his camera off and stop filming. 

At one point, one of the aid providers could be seen trying to cover his camera and pushing him away from the van. 

While many would expect the pushback from the workers to be worrying enough, Choe later revealed that he ended up being pepper sprayed as he was filming around the camp.

'After I got pepper sprayed outside Dow Constantine's drug camp on Wednesday, a Community Passageways worker saw the commotion and tried to victim blame me.

'He wouldn't give me his name, but he essentially said I brought the attack on myself for trying to interview homeless people,' he said in another X post. 

But as he was being verbally berated by the BMW-driving non-profit employee , a neighbor who had witnessed the entire incident quickly arrived at the scene and began to help Choe out.  

'Thankfully, a neighbor saw what was happening and backed me up. But then this social worker got out of his BMW, left it running in the middle of the street and started running his mouth,' the senior reporter explained.

In a surprising turn of events, as the social worker kept arguing with the Seattle-based reporter for trying to interview vagrants, a homeless woman who arrived on a scooter was seen slashing the philanthropist's tires.  

'During this encounter, witnesses says a young homeless woman from the camp rode over on her scooter and slashed his tire. Apparently, she thought the vehicle belonged to me. Oh the irony.'

Choe later noted that he presumably overhead workers suggesting that the tire-slasher should not be 'held accountable' as it would 'complicate her situation'. 

'In closing, what was even more troubling was that I overheard some outreach workers saying she should not be arrested or held accountable because it could complicate her situation. 

'The homeless industrial complex continues enable criminal behavior. Now you know why it's a free for all on the streets. Just say you're homeless, and you can get away with almost any crime,' he said.

In another X post, Choe assured his followers that the police were on the lookout for the person who pepper sprayed him and advised the reporter to stay away from the camp for a few days. 

The city of Seattle passed a drug ordinance in September of 2023 to address open air drug use and classified drug use and possession as a gross misdemeanor. 

Since then, there have been 355 arrests of 325 individuals, and 174 accepted referrals into the LEAD program. 

53 people arrested for narcotics were booked for outstanding felony warrants, illegal possession of weapons, and other crimes, according to KIRO7.
