A day of demonstrations at the Henry M. Jackson Federal building in downtown Seattle ended with protesters removing and burning American flags.
The protests started early in the day, around 8 a.m., as protesters barricaded the driveways of the building with rental scooters and bikes.
Police did not attempt to remove the barricades or disrupt the protest until later in the evening when officers clashed with groups of protesters near 2nd Ave and Marion Street.
Demonstrators approached Seattle police officers who were moving through the area on foot and in vans. Police deployed pepper balls toward the protesters, but the interaction ended after around 30 seconds, and Seattle police left the area.
Around 9:45 p.m., protesters removed the American flag from the flagpole on the east side of the building and burned the flag. Approximately 15 minutes later, the group did the same with the American flag on the west plaza.
By 10:30 p.m., the group was reduced to around a dozen people.

Now imagine if they were burning rainbow pride flags instead. We’d never hear the end of it.
Any of them that are not US citizens should be deported post haste. That includes “legal” aliens. They’ve given up their right to be here.
They are planning something big with the media whores. Every single story about the riots have been scrubbed from our local trash “news” sites which is basically CNN., everything. Monday there were a dozen stories with hundreds of active comments. Today, all gone. They know what a disaster this is for the democrats and their spin isn’t working. So either they are trying to get new talking points out of the DNC or pretend it isn’t happening.
“A chance for a better life” WAS NOT THE REASON THESE WETBACKS INVADED THE U.S. This was an invasion for Mehico to take over the southwest U.S. The La Raza racists are behind this. This **** is the reason why the Communist DemonRATS are scared to death of President Trump. Those commie pigs had this all figured out. Trump ended up being “the monkey in the wrench”.
It is usually illegal to start open fires in most cities.
The fact that they are burning American flags while displaying flags from other countries, shows them to be invaders and seditionists, not protesters. In my understanding, this act demands military assistance to put an end to it.
The people who burned U.S. flags in LA were probably illegal aliens. The ones who burned flags in Seattle were probably just the usual Seattle antifa psychos.
They’re burning American flags that symbolize the country that they hate but that millions of people want to come in to.
They’re flying flags from Mexico and Palestine. They’re wearing a keffiyeh, and I want to know what that has to do with immigration!
Seems sort of insurrectiony.
Time for the Washington National Guard.
That will flip them out.
Burning the American Flag should be a felony. Five years in a federal prison with no parole.
The WA governor is almost surely on there side.
