Thread by @Kavaeric

I'll be available for police scanner duty. Is there anyone on the ground who would like someone to monitor their city's scanners?

#BlackLivesMatter

Currently hopping between scanners across the USA

Man Chicago rozzers you really gotta get your communication act together, the NATO alphabet exists for a good reason

Or don't use it, really, I don't care, you keep mishearing

Still hopping between scanners right now. #NewYork fairly quiet. Might be using off band radios

Sounds like they're miscommunication. They sound frustrated. Officers aren't responding to requests.

On #Seattle scanner now.

"There's a very large crowd moving southbound on Broadway."

"Seems like people are filtering off. I'll keep you posted.

"300-400 people moving southbound on Broadway."

"It feels like more than that."

"Maybe more than that, then."

12th & Pine, Broad & John reporting protesters there too.

Repeat: Currently monitoring #Seattle police scanners. Follow this thread or use the given scanner link below.

#SeattleProtest #SeattleProtests

Group at Broad & John merging with major group on Broadway, heading south.

Bad communication on SPD radios. Multiple calls for "unreadable".

"'Sam' 22, we'll head that way."

"At this point there are at people in elevated positions on two sides. There's nothing we can do with them, we'll [try to find ways to] address the issue"

White aggressors at 59th Avenue, not sure if SW or NE or what intersection.

"This is a tactic to try to divide resources to our locations."

Heard some cops may be diverted for 7th and Pine

Frontline protesters in seattle at Pine & 11th deploying a phalanx of umbrellas.

Good.

"Shields on the south side."

"Where are the shields?!"

"We're at the intersection of 12th and Pine! We have them here if [???]"

"Units need to break, communicate with your sgt, to start the rotation!"

"Car video is not operational" not sure what they're referring to

Officer says his car video isn't working.

If you are on the ground in #Seattle at the #SeattleProtest please record and/or livestream.

"Yeah, we're posted up by the headquarters building; we can see 'em where they're standing."

#seattleprotest #seattlescanner

"Car 21, 7-4, to the line."

"...standing order at any fire station"

⚠ "I wanna get a car [???] go north and south of 11th & Pine"

"I'll go there now"

⚠ "11th and Pine, they're throwing apples!"

Careful. They might jump on that as an excuse to escalate.

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

(Also, what fucking apples? I see none of that on any of the streams I'm watching.)

⚠ Lasers reported at 11th and Pine. Can't corroborate with any of my streams, but would advise not to use them yet.

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

"There's a box, and they're distributing something in it!" on 11th and Pine.

More apples for you, officer.

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

"Can you tell us how far north the crowd goes from 11th and Pine?"

"The crowd is only...50-100ft. To the west, they go one block. To the south they probably go 100ft."

"I will be turning to precinct command, and turning it over to 223."

Last thing I heard was switching command to a 223 or 243? They might be going off the scanner/freqs, may be a shift change. Please stay safe.

⚠⚠⚠ I will use this time to reiterate: #Seattle police have given the order to turn off body cams. Please stay safe and record. Spread information. Protect each other. 不割蓆。

"Still peaceful, still."

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

As an advisory, please note that there is evidence that demoralising police vocally is highly effective.

Also, those on the ground monitoring scanners should check out different threads using the relevant hashtags. There's more than one of us air conditioned warriors out there

⚠ Possible LRAD spotted at 11th and Pine from the ground. Other say it's an MRAP. Please be careful in either case.

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

Seattle police currently has a site up for you to submit evidence of "assaults, vandalism, arsons, burglaries and other crimes".

Just saying.

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

Crowd is thinning at Cal Anderson. Not sure of the general direction.

#Seattle #SeattleProtest #SeattleScanner

Police being reminded to take restroom breaks and such.

Also, I wanna say, from the video feed of the crowd, super proud of the people of #Seattle adopting the tactics used back in Hong Kong. Stick together! 不割蓆！

(Scanner's been quiet/benign for a bit.)
