Total bullshit. There were more than 10k peaceful protestors yesterday, walking through downtown, and even shutting down the freeway, as they walked down it.

There were about 80-100 of the usual suspects who show up and act like cunts in a 3-block area because their mommies didn't hug them enough. (And another actual organized GANG in Bellevue who decided to loot a mall... because of ... reasons.)

What showed up on the news?

The 80-100 cunts. But DOZENS of hours of live streamed peaceful protests? Didn't see any of that, did ya?

There's even video of a cop kneeling on the neck of a looter they are arresting - exactly the same thing that killed Floyd in MPLS - and the other cop with him PUSHES THE COP'S KNEE OFF THE PERSON'S NECK.

The Seattle Police Department is a very lightly masked gang of street thugs. They are entirely useless. And despite being the ones who initially incited the violence in Seattle (they cornered and gassed a group of about 300 peaceful marching protestors, which lead to retaliation by those who were gassed), even they showed awareness of the situation and a little humanity.

You need better sources.
