this
afternoon, a man armed with handgun
and improvised high-capacity magazine
stopped his car just short of mowing down
a crowd of protesters, then shot one who attempted to
disarm him. the police kept their
distance, refused to intervene, and when the
would-be murderer voluntarily surrendered to
them behind their lines they politely escorted him away.
(it was later revealed his brother works at
the "besieged" precinct.) i missed all that,
but went down around 10 pm to add my voice.
earlier, the mayor and SPD chief urged
police restraint and banned the use of
teargas. as usual, the protest was peaceful,
the intersection of 12th & pine eerie
with police floodlights. i left just before
midnight and hadn't even reached home when i
heard all hell break loose. the police,
claiming to have been attacked (the usual lie),
"responded" with overwhelming force. they
fired a stun grenade into a young woman's chest,
almost killing her, and detonated more than
100 flashbangs and enough chemical agents to
befog the entire neighborhood,
poisoning bystanders in their homes. the seattle police
department has run amok, telling easily refuted lies,
defying orders, and committing acts tantamount
to war crimes against the citizenry.
but the more they try to
suppress, the stronger and more
determined we get. #defundthepolice
