UPDATE: Near the East Precinct, we’re hearing bangs and seeing smoke. Too far away to tell if they’re fireworks or flash bangs #KOMONews
More flash bangs being used. A glass bottle just came smashing down near us. No idea where it came from. Group now moving west on E Pine #KOMONews
So much for filming...
#KOMONews
Police have pushed the group back to Broadway. Irritants being used. One explodes right by me in the middle of this clip. Multiple people shouting for medics #KOMONews
Current view at Broadway/E Pine where police and hundreds of protesters are face-to-face #KOMONews
More @SeattlePD officers moving towards Broadway from the East Precinct. Flash bangs and blast balls continue to be used near Broadway #KOMONews
UPDATE: Pushed back by flash bangs and a cloud of irrants, the line is back to Broadway/E Pine. Similar to what we’ve seen in Portland, people have brought leaf blowers in an attempt to blow it back at officers. Fireworks also being lit, thrown at police #KOMONews
Officers, including @BvuePD’s armored vehicle continues moving the crowd but the crowd is now pushing back. Lots of irritant remains in the air. Lots of things being thrown at officers #KOMONews
Missed it but another round of flash bangs and pepper balls just used. We saw at least one person being taken down by officers moments before this #KOMONews
At least two more people just taken in to custody as more officers arrive by bike #KOMONews
