@DougHolland

Seattle police are just so terrible at this. Sigh.

Pretty sure those pigs did exactly what they set out to do.

This the same Seattle police who's trying to protect their Jan 6th rioting thugs identifies?

Yup, thought so.

Just the other day they arrested over 20 comrades for counter protesting violent transphobes in Cal Anderson, felony charges for several of them who were acting in self defense. My family was attacked with batons, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. They are purposefully setting us up to be in hot situations then come in boot stomping. Fuck SPD, fuck the christo fascists and bigots. They're attacking my family because we have the audacity to want to go about our lives in one of the few places that is supposed to be safe for us

Jonathan Choe, the far-right broadcaster (“I’m going live for Newsmax and I have to deal with this shit too?” I heard him complain), posted a video of himself clubbing a protester who touched him. The protester was arrested; Choe was not.

wish there was a video link for that. i found this, which i think is a dubbed version of what Erica's referencing.
