ANOTHER VIOLENT WEEKEND IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE: This is the heart of the city and this keeps happening. This is like the third weekend I am here talking about flashing lights and someone being shot or killed. @SeattlePD is exhausted. So are neighbors and biz owners. #Seattle #Wild

STRONG CONVICTION: @realmikesolan held Fri. press conf. supporting @SeattlePD officers. He also discussed being targeted by “fringe activists.” Remember, they marched to his home and tried to burn down @SPOG1952 headquarters. He sees they’re also going after journalists like me.

DIFFERENT WORLDVIEW: Interaction with an activist during height of Seattle’s riots.

ACTIVIST: You’re right wing media(KOMO) and putting these protestors in harms way by showing their faces.

ME: Huh? You’re on public property damaging buildings. Im just recording your actions.

SEVEN HILLS PARK ENCAMPMENT CLEARING BEHIND THE SCENES: This happened to our crew just a few weeks ago. We were confronted and demonized for showing this reality in Capitol Hill. City moved in days later and cleared this problematic camp. #Seattle

@MrAndyNgo

ENOUGH: I'm talking to many journalists who are tired of being threatened, doxxed, intimidated, and in some cases, violently assaulted by aggressive activists or dare I say it, "Antifa." But journos like me and @MrAndyNgo should not have to walk alone.

@rcfp

It’s time for journalists and other news outlets to make a decision. Either we sit passively on the sidelines, or we publicly condemn the threats and violence. I am calling on industry friends like @rcfp @aaja @spj_tweets @pressfreedom @uspresstracker @FTVLive to do the same.

With the warmer months ahead of us in Seattle, we are going to see more protests. Most of it will be peaceful. But when certain actors choose to block our cameras with umbrellas, physically assault us, and prevent us from shining a light on the truth, that’s a problem. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
