Police declare riot at Seattle protests, make arrests

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle police declared a riot Saturday following large demonstrations in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood and deployed flash bangs and pepper spray to try to clear an area near where weeks earlier people had set up an “occupied protest zone” that stretched for several blocks.

Via Twitter, police said they had made multiple arrests and were “investigating a possible explosive damage" to the walls of the city's East Precinct police station. Authorities said rocks, bottles and mortars were thrown at officers as they attempted to clear the area.

Earlier, protesters in Seattle broke through a fence where a youth detention facility was being built, with some people setting a fire and damaging a portable trailer, authorities said.

Thousands of protesters had initially gathered peacefully near downtown Seattle on Saturday in a show of solidarity with fellow demonstrators in Portland, Oregon, where tensions with federal law enforcement have boiled over during protests stemming from the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

We can have UN Peacekeepers for our election.... since we’re now pretty much a third world country unable to govern or care for our citizens.

9. All protesters will be painted with the same brush.

This is the reason Nixon got elected, violent protests scared middle class people over 40. Trump's people know that and are using it. The protesters are falling for it, and so will the suburbs over time. This can be a very successful strategy.
