On Wednesday, Best told reporters that officers saw a van following a group of protesters around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, before it stopped outside the East Precinct. At about the same time, she said, explosions started going off outside the precinct.
Best said a witness later told police they had seen baseball bats and explosives inside the same van earlier in the day.
Police later impounded the van and, after obtaining a search warrant, discovered firework pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, stun guns, bear and pepper spray, makeshift spike strips and gas masks, Best said…
Seattle Police Sgt. James Lee, who works with the department’s arson/bomb squad, said his team also found remnants of a Molotov cocktail that exploded near King County’s juvenile detention facility, which is under construction.
Sgt. Lee discussed photos of items found in the van, including a taser and homemade spike strips which were intended to flatten the tires of police bikes. Lee also showed photos of canisters of bear spray which he said had been “causing burns and itching and stinging to their face and exposed skin.” Chief Best interjected that the use of bear spray on human beings was a “federal offense.”

I think we should start referring to these riots as The Donkey Riots which will encompass all the groups, the anarchists, the communists, the media and the deep state.
People can interpret that as they will but basically the Dim party, a bunch of stupid jack***es.
The van was owned by “Overthrow-—A Soros Corporation”. Registration was signed by “Mr. Karl Marx” and the license plate holder said “I Heart Soros”.
To me, those are clues.
Let me guess. Those pesky white supremists!
This ain’t no party
This ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around....
WATCH UKRAINE ON FIRE!! Start at 41:20 and just watch 5-15 minutes! Watch it thru and see Biden, Soros, McCain... all of em! This is in 2014!

Well, Duh! Will the left coast libs take that as a clue; or will they explain it away?
Well No F****** S***
Funny how the FBI spares no effort in taking down some tax resister or white supremacist but they just for the life of them can’t find violent revolutionaries who are standing in the middle of the street in broad daylight. Funny, huh? One might think the the FBI is part of the revolution.
In war, logistics are important.
Or the feds intend a wave of indictments and arrests that will take them down like a Mafia family.
I used to run around the streets all the time trying to cause trouble but could never EVER find any weapons vans following me and my friends around.
WTF?!?!
They were mostly peaceful weapons.
As an alternative to resupply, the van could be used for escape if things went south for the rioters (actual arrests and police clubbings). Escaping rioters enter the van, it departs, and the contents are used to foil police pursuit.

{"During a Q&A after the press conference a reporter suggested it was worrisome that this van contained hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of equipment and had caused a lot of mayhem in the city yet the police knew nothing about who they were."}

Doesn’t matter. Who rented the vans and who drove them? They are implicated. Rental terms prevent anyone except the renter to use them.
I would bet this is a WA state owned van being driven by WA state government employees or local school teachers and administrators.
Burned out a Starbucks. It is an ill wind indeed that blows no good.
Who knew Talking Heads were prophets?
So I can "reasonably" assume that anything they carry in hand justifies deadly force.
