A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle are claiming that they’re being priced out of their civil rights by the prohibitive costs of defending themselves against police violence.
The lawsuit filed Monday in federal court alleges that the repeated use of force by the Seattle Police Department has made it impossible for them to exercise their right to protest without pricey personal protective gear.
“Because protesters now must purchase expensive equipment to be assured that they will be able to protest safely, the indiscriminate use of weapons by SPD implicates equal protection,” the lawsuit says.

I would just tell the RIOTERS to have MOMMY buy them the appropriate equipment, kinda like that DUMBASS in Oregon!
That was his Granny. geeeeez
We The People should be allowed to be as equally armed as our civilian police.
Git u some prison armor...
This should have been parody, but it is not.
Babylon Bee flashed through upon reading the headline..

I scroll through the forum articles and 85%+ of them sound that way.
It’s Bizarro World.
Infuriating and, I hate to admit it in public: depressing, too.
They’re all jealous that the ‘moms’ and ‘witches’ of Portland are giving away helmets, vests, hockey sticks, umbrellas, goggles, gas masks and assorted other stuff on a daily basis, with an actual waiting list no less.
Lot of money laundering going on. Nobody in Seattle is doing the same and Portlanders are shaming them.
just a taste:

About free masks and googles: We have a waiting list! Priority on the list goes to BIPOC, LO and frontliners who go out more then four nights a week. We also order filters and other safety equipment.
Millions donated to BLM, what happened to it? O right the DNC pocketed it.
That’s even worse than his mommy buying it!
Imagine the howls from the Left if the NRA, expressly noting that the rioters and looters were wearing body armor, even suggested that people use FMJs?
By rioting, pillaging, and looting, BLM has forfeited all civil rights.
Want to be safe from the cops? Don’t violate the law and fight the cops.
Lots'a pockets to fill. The leaders need their dachas, after all.
This is a great Babylon Bee story; hilarious !
Oh wait a minute....
Can’t they just loot the gear they need?
Are they making the 2nd amendment argument that they're entitled to the same arms as the military?
