A dozen Seattle cops were injured when a downtown protest against police brutality and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement turned violent on Sunday, according to reports.
The peaceful demonstration, which began about 10:30 a.m. at Westlake Park, called for the abolition of ICE — but about three hours later, another group of protesters showed up with baseball bats, KIRO 7 reported.
The thugs marched toward police headquarters and left a trail of destruction along the way, including damage to the old federal courthouse, the Municipal Court Building and an Amazon Go store, police said.
“Individuals in the group appeared to target Starbucks and Amazon,” Sgt. Lauren Truscott told reporters.
The protesters then headed to the West Precinct, where they lobbed mortar-style fireworks at cops from close range, injuring 12, she said.
One of the injured officers was taken to a hospital after “fragmentation entered his throat and neck area,” Truscott said, adding that the others were treated at the precinct.
Officers used blast balls and pepper spray against the protesters. Two people were arrested after the mayhem.
The roving protesters then continued to damage businesses along their way to the East Precinct, where they broke windows and threw “some type of pyrotechnic item” into the lobby that ignited a small blaze, according to KIRO 7.

Feral Rabid Yutes, what do you do with a Rabid Dog??
Up until then, there had been no trouble at all, right?
you mean ‘peaceful protests’ as the msm is calling it.
bats and bricks from Uncle Soros, again?
Feed him Purina Rabid Dog Chow!
” but about three hours later, another group of protesters showed up funded” by Soros.
When was the last time there was police brutality? All I see is the police getting brutalized
if this was a bunch of trump supporters a number would be dead on the ground
I am not sure why these people aren’t being shot. Baseball bats. Fireworks. Some kind of pyrotechnics.
Where I come from a baseball bat can kill you
And if I charged the police with a baseball bat I’m quite sure I would be shot rightfully so as one shot to the head can cause permanent brain damage
Your wokeness won’t save you.

WHERE ARE THE WASHINGTON STATE FREEPER PATRIOT CONNECTIONS ? ? ?
..how long will it be before some LEO,after being hit in the head with a brick from a “peaceful protester,” looses it and sends a self-defence round toward him/her from his/her duty Glock...?? I shudder to think about this.....
Seattle politicians: "We've got everything under control."
> another group of protesters showed up with baseball bats <
I renew my call for common-sense baseball bat control. Only registered baseball teams should have access to these items. And they should be locked up when not in use.
This whole mess could have been avoided had I been consulted first.
So now they are in essence throwing fragmentation grenades at cops.
I think the time has come for some big water trucks full of Yellow Indelible Ink, and SPRAY ALL OF THEM, let them be Yellow for a Month!!
“...I am not sure why these people aren’t being shot. Baseball bats. Fireworks. Some kind of pyrotechnics....”
It’s the mayor’s and the governor’s orders. They own this.
Once the cops are given orders to start shooting as necessary, many of these “little marxist darlings” will be killed....which no great loss to the preservation of the nation.
this is CIVIL WAR stoked by George Soros and
DNC mayors.
CIVIL WAR, America.
Fight or DIE.
It is going to come to that and it needs to!
Not really.
