On the front at the barricade with unflinchingly courageous young activists & community members. Police forces prepared with shields, batons, full riot gear & I'm sure other equipment not visible yet. More National Guard moving in and into position, looks like. #DefundPolice

Peaceful but brave protest movement on Capitol Hill, placing flowers on the street in front of the militarized forces. This elicited another comment from that disembodied voice on the SPD loudspeaker: You're placing objects near my officers. I'm warning you. Objects = flowers

Just got maced and gassed with hundreds others by Seattle police on 11th & Pine. With no provocation. All the movement was demanding was: Let us march! Shameful violence under Mayor Durkan. And the 30-day tear gas pause is totally meaningless. Durkan Must Go. #DefundPolice
