OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Olympia police arrested 29 people after a officers say anti-police protest turned into a riot in the downtown streets after 7:30 p.m. Thursday night.

Olympia Police Department tells KIRO 7 Eyewitness News that a group of about 35 people marched down 4th Avenue in Olympia in what participants called a “sweep the police protest.”

Officers who monitored the march said the members were dressed in black and disguised themselves with face coverings.

Protestors blocked all lanes of traffic on 4th Avenue as they moved through downtown.

Police received reports of vandalism and graffiti in the area and received additional reports that members of the group were involved in assaulting a photographer, intentionally damaging his camera.

Officers witnessed members breaking windows of a business in the area of Jefferson Street and 4th Avenue.

Shortly after 9:00 p.m. police contacted and detained 29 members of the group near State Avenue and Adams Street.

The participants were taken into custody and booked at Olympia City jail for engaging in riotous behavior.

Anarchists, leftists and extreme liberals are common in Olympia, Evergreen State College profs very well could have been among them.

Just so we are clear, this was a peaceful protest, NOT an example of “seditious conspiracy”....

Don’t you remember? “Dissent is patriotic.”

As long as it’s from the Left.

As long as nobody thinks they may have heard a racially-insensitive insult, we’ll be alright.

Olympia, Eugene OR and Santa Cruz CA are three western ISA college towns with a commonality. Anarchists. Large populations of anarchists.

Clean them up.

These are “people” who do not believe in the rule of law and behave like pests. We all know what the cure for pestilence is, right?

Democrats. They're going nuts. Their messiah is in power, and they're still going insane.
Naturally, the left dresses like the terrorists they are. I can't wait to see the "Vileness, hate, and violence of the left wing protesters" all over the TV today. The MSM has a great story here. I'm sure it'll make the Breaking News segment any minute now (/s).
