The police in Seattle, Washington, said 14 people were arrested there when the May Day demonstrations saw protesters block traffic and clash with police.
Q13Fox reported that the group blocked traffic and put hazards– including flares– in the street. The group threw bottles, flares, rocks, paint-filled eggs at police officers, according to police. Those arrested faced charges ranging from assault to property destruction.
Police said at least one bystander was “pelted” by eggs on the street. One individual was arrested for allegedly throwing a rock through an open police car window. The driver was hit, the Q13Fox report said.
A video that was sent to Right Journalism by one of our fans who wished to stay anonymous shows a pretty efficient way to clear the intersections when BLM/Antifa rioters are in town.
The video was taken late in the night by a surveillance camera during the last riots in Seattle. Video below: ( video uploaded on the site)
During the riots, the Police made additional arrests overnight as protest activities continued around the East Precinct. A video shows one person being taken into custody in an incident after a driver drove their vehicle through a group and protesters scattered on E Pine. Later in the night, police were reported making arrests in a clash with protesters above 12th Ave across from the precinct. At least six more people were booked into King County jail for investigation of assault, malicious mischief, obstruction, and property damage.

The SPD seems to have done a good job of allowing the peaceful protestors, but closely monitoring the anarchists and arresting those who crossed the line. Now, hopefully, Pete Holmes will actually charge those arrested and prosecute them. He has not done so consistently in the past, and so has enabled the criminal behavior to continue.
Look at them all running after the car when it’s obvious nobody’s going to catch up with it.
Mess with them...speed ahead a few hundred feet or so then stop.. They will run to the car... When they get close, speed ahead and stop again. rinse repeat...
Good for the driver. We had some pretty bad trouble where we lived during the Rodney King debacle. It was very important no to make eye contact at all cost and maintain your speed if you were going through a situation that was threatening.
The link goes to some moron whining about people getting arrested for blocking the street.
Your twitter link goes to the wrong video
My cat was afraid of squirrels. But she always ran after them, just the same. When one tripped and skidded to a stop, she slowed enough to allow him to just make it to safety. Sometimes sometimes things are just done for the look of it.

If the authorities wanted to stop the lawlessness in the streets, they could do it. The moment anyone in the crowd throws a firebomb, hits an innocent person with a brick, assaults someone, they are to be mowed down. Anyone who is a part of the crowd has already accepted and agreed with any and all the actions of the crowd.
One visual of mowing them down one night on TV, and the riots stop, the spoiled White rich kid anarchists go home to their mansions, and there are no more riots.
Sooner or later a driver will panic and kill some of the “mostly peaceful rioters.
That’s what I was thinking, what a bunch of dumb asses chasing after a speeding car as if they could catch it

If such a susceptible adult is surrounded or threatened, stepping on the gas pedal is highly likely.
Ha, ha. We had a cocker a few years back that was frantic about chasing squirrels. One day she was twitching (ready to go) at the back glass door while one of the tree rats was gamboling across the back yard. I grabbed her (the dog) with one hand and eased the door open so she could get a clear run. When I let her go she shot out, fastest I’d ever seen the little bugger go. Squirrel was frantic. Dodged right&left but the cocker was gaining. Finally, the squirrel darted for a tree, right into the jaws of the dog. Squirrel squeeked, and dog let go. Both were horribly surprised. Regardless, dog continued to chase them.
One day, hopefully soon, we’ll be allowed to clear these intersections properly.
I’m thinking something like a truck out of a Mad Max movie with gigantic snow plow up front.
Well, if they attack a car, the car gotta fight back.
I guess they watch movies. Chase cars by foot. Run down the middle of the street while being chased by a car. 9mm bullets ricocheting off of car windows. Rioters can learn a lot of useful stuff from movies.
Maybe that's why the rest of the idiots were chasing the vehicle...
All the driver would have to do would be to tap the brakes at speed -- and ...Punktileus Projectum!
I saw that too.
Guess they ran so they could kneel next to the body and yell, “Medic!.....someone call 9-1-1!”
