SEATTLE — On Sunday, the Seattle Police Department released video that shows improvised explosive devices being thrown at officers during violent protests Saturday.

Authorities said 59 officers were injured, including one who was treated at the hospital.

Officers used blast balls, pepper spray and sponge-tipped rounds in clashes with demonstrators and reported they had arrested 47 people.

There was even an explosive used by someone to blast through the wall of the East Precinct, creating a small hole leading inside.

However, a lot of the destruction caused in yesterday’s protests were at the King County Youth Detention Center.

Vehicles were vandalized in the parking lot at the center.

Rioters used sledgehammers and shattered car windows in the parking lot while, at the same time, a row of construction trailers at a site next door were fire-bombed after about a dozen rioters scaled a fence.

Arson and vandalism are being investigated at the sites.

Although there were many clashes and violence Saturday, protesters told KIRO 7 on Sunday they will continue to peacefully protest despite the danger.

“We will continue to show up for Black Lives Matter regardless of the intimidation and regardless of the propaganda that says this is about looting,” a protester said.

Can you believe they found protesters dumb enough to say it is propaganda being said about the protests not being peaceful despite the objective, verifiable evidence to the contrary?

Rioters: but, but, despite sledgehammers being used to destroy vehicles, walls being scaled, IED’s beimg used on police officers, blowing holes in walls, vandalism, and arson, these are still “peaceful protests.”

If they are now using shaped charges (?) to blow holes in concrete walls, police forces acquiring mine resistant vehicles and surplus military equipment will be a Godsend, not overkill.

The student uprising of the late 60’s quickly escalated into the urban terrorism of the 1970’s.

It will be much worse this time as the entire white liberal population is now radicalized. A Trump / Republican win will send them over the edge. Even a Biden win will embolden them.

I have been arguing this point for a few years but conservatives and those who want to live lawfully need to GET OUT of the blue areas now !

If you get involved in the legal system after defending your family or property, you will be subject to “divers weights and unjust measures”. Just like that couple in St Louis who have been charged with some trumped up gun charges based to tampered evidence.

Get out now !

Well, they destroyed people’s vehicles and company vehicles which may not be covered by insurance, putting out business because they no longer have the tools to perform their jobs and now have no way of supporting their families or even driving them to school or the grocery store.

Does insurance cover this?

If so. How long before they are made whole so they can continue their work?

If they lose their jobs because the company cannot perform the work, are they going to receive/qualify for extended and national unemployment benefits and if so, will those benefits cover their monthly exoenses?

Whatever. The outrage is going to do nothing. It will just continue until many are killed and I believe even then it will continue. No one’s got courage in this country anymore at the leadership levels.

and even those with courage seem to care more about getting re-elected than showing it

That’s all a conspiracy-concocted narrative, just like the Holocaust./s

1.) Destroy the rioters’ credibility by unending reporting on all forums across the internet what the rioters are doing while dozens of sites like Breitbart will carry it further, then onto numetous sites like NY Post. Nothing needs to or is being made up as what the rioters are doing is being shown and this is sufficiemt.

That is occurring, as the Seattle, Washaington state, and some national media were unable this time from keeping this info, as they were with the info on CHAZ/CHOP, Pirtland, etc, from getting out.

2.) Ultimately the rioters will self-regulate or if not eventually thousands of average citizens will descend and it will be massive street fighting all across the US, or militarized police will clean the streets up.

The law abiding citizens need to show up, en masse, preferably armed, to show their support for police and law and order.

Also to send a message to the politicians.

Otherwise block all roads and let them starve.
