Videos: Washington State Troopers Arrest And Hogtie The Trump Supporter Who Shot Antifa Counter-Protester Near Washington State Capitol

Police in Olympia arrested one person Saturday afternoon following a shooting at a violent protest between two heavily armed groups near the Capital building.

The Thurston County sheriff’s office confirmed the arrest but didn’t immediately release details.

The Olympia Police Department said the person who was shot was taken to a hospital by other civilians. That person’s injuries are unknown.

Prior to the shooting, the police fail to protect the protesters who were there to support President Trump. In the video below you will see Antifa attacking Trump supporters as the Police are standing by:

Video in the aftermath of the shooting shows a person on the ground, and another with a handgun walking across a parking lot.

A video below shows state troopers as they arrest and hogtie the shooting suspect:

My work takes be to the Capitol Campus occasionally. About a month ago, I had to do some inspections in one of the buildings. The streets were all blocked off within the Capitol Campus and there were a few WSP cars with officers in them. I parked my truck (illegally) at the side of one of the roads near a road block, put on the flashing rotating amber beacon on my truck, put my hard hat and safety vest on and grabbed my clip board and walked up to one of the patrol cars to talk to a WSP officer about where I could park so that I could do the work the State had requested of me.

I was clearly there on business, but the officer was nervous. He told me that there had been riots for many days on campus. He told me to park in one of the reserved for employee spots as hardly anyone was on campus anymore.

I think that the officers are very concerned about their personal safety and not loosing their careers and means of supporting their families. Typically, they will not loose their job it they rough up a “good guy” but there have been lots of examples of having the left call for officers to be fired if they harm a “bad guy” even if they are following their training.

I am not saying I like what is going on, but I can understand what is happening. The violent left is out of control and the political and judicial system seems to want that. Until things change we all need to take responsibility for keeping ourselves and family safe.
