Rioters threw rocks, glass bottles, and explosives at police during another night of riots in Seattle
Following Wednesday's decision by a grand jury not to indict police officers on homicide charges in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, cities across the country erupted in protests and violence, including St. Petersburg, Portland, and Louisville, where two police officers were shot. In Seattle, riots erupted that included a vicious baseball bat attack on a police officer.
A shocking video from Wednesday night's riots in Seattle shows a man dressed in all black violently smash a police officer in the back of the head with a metal baseball bat. The police officer was wearing a helmet, which may have saved his life.
The officer was attempting to wrest his bicycle back from a person in the crowd. The masked rioter sneaks up on the officer while he is distracted and steps into a swinging attack with the metal bat that hits the cop in the back of the helmet. The officer was able to keep his footing after being bashed in the head and escaped the violent mob.
The Seattle Police Department issued a press release on Wednesday night's violence in the city. "Multiple officers were injured to include one who was struck in the head with a baseball bat cracking his helmet," the statement said, which included photos of the officer's damaged helmet.
The Seattle Police Department also noted that an individual threw an explosive at law enforcement officers at approximately 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday night. The incendiary device "exploded near waiting bike officers."
When cops attempted to arrest the suspect, they were assaulted with glass bottles and rocks from the crowd of rioters. Police said they "deployed pepper spray and blast balls in an attempt to create space between the officers and the protestors."
Agitators also cut wires powering the security cameras to the precinct and set dumpsters on fire, and more explosives were thrown at officers. Seattle Police declared the ongoing protest an unlawful assembly after several fireworks were fired at police.
The Seattle police said they arrested 13 individuals. Charges include property destruction, resisting arrest, failure to disperse, and assault on an officer.
Earlier this week, the Department of Justice announced that Seattle is one of three U.S. cities declared to be "anarchist jurisdictions," along with Portland and New York City. The designation could cause those cities to lose federal funding.
This is only the beginning of sorrows..........................
Because the blacks support it.
now isn’t that strange, the day after a twitter post on hashtag portland protests that police leave their flanks open and to think of new ‘tactics’, that a cop is ambushed from the back?
It’s not a protest.
It’s not a riot.
It’s an ‘effing terrorist insurrection with molotov cocktails, explosives, cudgels, knives and guns, cutting comm wires, CCTV....this shit is straight from the Viet Cong manual....
Siege of Portland has lasted over 100 days, longer than the 1968 Viet Cong Tet Offensive.
The longer this is allowed to go unchallenged the greater the amount of force and violence becomes necessary to subdue and eliminate the threat.
The Dem mullah mayors and Governors are setting the stage for multiple Fallujahs.
F*** the optics! Think they’re bad now, wait until the necessary happens.
MSM is openly complicit as Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and all the rest of social media, they are NEVER going to relent in their efforts.
At least we know they batter is left-handed.
If you think it’s bad now, just wait until the night AFTER the election when Trump wins by a landslide of Reaganesque proportions.....................
Strange indeed....................
“Where are the horses? “
Yes, Seattle PD does have an equestrian unit.
But (like it or not), you don’t have to feed, care for, or muck out the stall of a bike. Much cheaper.
.22lr, right now.
Systemic rioting.
I feel much the same way.
Some people need to be arrested, charged, tried, sentenced, then executed..................
Intimidating non-POC voters and storming the polling places manned by older folks, burning ballot boxes, etc.
Blocking roads and bridges...we've been watching while they probe the defenses to fine tune their tactics.
They have to disrupt the election process to throw the whole thing into chaos for the coup to gain more traction. And there aren't enough cops in any of the Dem strong holds to man every polling place without leaving other targets open to attack.
It will take only a few polling places to be trashed to call the whole election into question. The media will make sure of that.
Why the hell is that man still alive????
Oh, they will be active on Election Day, but that will be nothing compared to what happens about 9 PM Eastern time that night, when it becomes painfully obvious that Trump is re-elected in a huge margin.... ................
I would call it attempted murder. If the officer hadn’t had the helmet on they could have been killed or seriously injured. As for Seattle I have no sympathy for the city, just like Portland and Chicago. The people keep voting for mayors and city councils who in reality loath them and allow their citizens to be beaten, raped, murdered, looted, pillaged and assaulted.
The people complain and turn around and elect the same sleaze bags. The cops in all these cities should just say to hell with it and stand down across the board and tell the citizens you keep electing these jerks, you don’t support us, to hell with you all and let the mob do as they please.
He blended into the crowd. They are all dressed alike so you can’t identify one from another..............
Rioters, looters and arsonists should be shot on sight.
That used to be the rule...................
