Seattle Launches Investigation After Supply Van Full Of Weapons Found Trailing Behind Rioters

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.”

At one time, I could associate people I knew (including myself) as having done things in various verses of that song.

This loaded van is a deep state supply van and everyone knows it. Same source that supplies Portland terrorists with guns and ammo clips. Same source that sent shipment of rifle parts to west coast port. The whole west coast has demon-rat governors. Just arrest governors and senators from west coast-all of ‘em for aiding and abetting insurrection. And good luck trying to follow their buses because throngs terrorists in the streets will let them pass, but will attack other vehicles.

Good luck if it’s the FBI, they can’t figure out who paid for a pallet of bricks.

Boy that Seattle. What sleuths those folks have working
for them. We’ve been aware of these sorts of things for
months now, but Seattle is now on the case.

The hold-up must be them looking for documents proving
Trump supplied the vans.

The weapons were arrested and quickly released. Just like the rioters.

As well as Mayor Daley’s cops in Chicago 1968. They busted a lot of skulls.
