The OPA just ruled that this was LAWFUL AND PROPER because the officer claimed he didnāt see the child. #seattleprotests #seattlepolice #AbolishPolice
Whether accidental or intentional, police should not be allowed to mace children in the face.
Period.
Period.
The OPA themselves even called the decision āunpalatableā but couldnāt be bothered to suggest any policy recommendations that would pretend to try to prevent this moving forward. Total complicity.
So clearly today is not the day we get to have a life. Catching up now, but 11th & Pine (once again) is a major friction point between protesters and police. We've seen flash bangs, pepper spray and blast balls all used in the last few minutes.

We've heard repeated reports that flashbangs have lobbed into the crowds and that media have been targeted by both pepper spray and rubber bullets.

I was just denied access and threatened with arrest again by #seattlepolice for not having ID while trying to get to my home in #CapitolHill. They claim they were given new orders this morning.

I went to a different entrance and the #seattlepolice there told another story - ID was not required. However they claim that they never received the initial orders to stop IDing š¤

For context, here is the Deputy Mayor telling me on a conference call that ID will no longer be required as of 7:00PM on July 1st
Seattle police pinned the protestors in on my block and started to force them to move, then it got ugly. Hereās what it looked like before SPD escalated.
This is what it looked like after it got ugly. Look at the guy in the middle, hands up, holding the line and just taking pepper spray to the face. #seattleprotest
Then the flash grenades started. Absolutely nothing fazes the person in red. š¤Æ
