Unclear what caused this initially, and we're about 30 minutes in, but I'll go back and transcribe what led to this point later. Right now, something happened, a massive crowd formed in east, and many, many copsbeing called in. Addresses redacted for now.

[8:58:29]{east} "3 charlie. For officers on scene, we have a two part exit strategy. Soon as fire leaves, patrol is stage one, when I give the order, they're going to vacate the area. CRG will stay in place to monitor the retreet, and one of the L from CRG give order to exit"
[8:59:41]{east} "3 king on east. West taskforce, ETA aprroximately 15 minutes."

"So...cancel taskforce?"

"Affirm"
Appologies, I'm expecting this to be confusing now, but I'm trying to document whatever is happening on the scanner around this event. I'll transcribe what happened before this later tonight or tomorrow, but made the call to switch to real time for now due to the cop response.
[9:02:59]{east} "3 charlie. They're starting to load the supsect into the ambulance, can I get patrol units back to their vehicles, and start the process of exiting?"

There's a crowd shouting in the background
Made call, out of concern for the previously mentioned crowd, to skip public transcription for now. I promise I will go back and transcribe everything from tonight at some point tomorrow, for reference.

Sorry for confusion and flip flopping.

The following thread is a summary of last nights events from the scanner side of things. Some scans with identifying info were skipped. The actual events of last night are better described by this thread:

#seattleprotests
#protestcommsseattle
A note: everything about last night, from the unreasonable amount of cops responding to the "de-escalation" language used on the scanner indicate to me that SPD was very focused on how they APPEARED last night. Keep that in mind.
Also note that this is LAST NIGHT, starting 8:18pm September 8th.

I also appolgize for the massive amounts of tweets that are about to flood your feed, bare with me.

Okay, bear with me, there's gonna be a lot of catchup, this will take time. it's taking me a while to transcribe. As of 9:38, I don't know what exactly happened yet, but I'm switching to live tweeting now. Seneca and alaskan.
