Seattle police have released bodycam footage revealing how protesters have targeted and injured officers by throwing explosives, rocks and bottles in a riot over the weekend.

Nearly 60 Seattle police officers were injured in Saturday clashes with anti-police demonstrators and one was hospitalized as a riot was declared in the city. The police department released video footage of Saturday's unrest where cops dodged explosives, flying bottles and pieces of wood during a protest in Capitol Hill.

During the Saturday protest a large group of demonstrators tried to destroy the East Precinct police department building, shattering windows, burning holes and damaging walls using explosives. The East Precinct station house was the location of the since-dismantled 'Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone' (CHAZ) or the 'Capitol Hill Occupation Protest', which was cleared on July 1.

The video features footage from four different police body-cameras from throughout Saturday.

In three of them small explosives are thrown into groups of police officers, releasing plumes of smoke and burning officers. In the final clip a wooden plank is thrown into a group of cops by demonstrators.

'In all 59 officers were injured throughout the day with one of those being hospitalized. Injuries ranged from abrasions and bruising to burns and a torn meniscus,' the department said.

The Seattle Police have been abandoned. They are on their own.

The schools don't want them in the schools.
The transit company won't rent them buses to move riot police around town
The city council wants to do away with part or all of the SPD, cutting 100+ officers
The City Council won't let them use tear gas or rubber bullets to quell riots.
The City Attorney won't prosecute those arrested at riots.
No citizens are defending them other than some down town businesses who are labeled recists for doing so
The mayor sheds crocodile tears for them but won't show leadership with the left OR common sense people. Sitting on a fence.

In other words -

Abandoned.
