EXCLUSIVE: Newly obtained bodycam footage from the May 24 bust-up in Cal Anderson shows a Seattle police sergeant beating a protester on the ground
Apparently, the sergeant also fabricated probable cause for the arrest.

There's been an update in this story, the hate preachers at the heart of the Cal Anderson police riot are now attempting to sue the City of Seattle over what they claim is religious bias.
The city didn't allow them to hold their event in a location on Pike st where there wasn't room. The church says, that was one point of bias 🙃
Once the cops rioted, the event was shutdown by the city. The church also says bias there too.
Video of the counter protest at Tuesday's City Hall fascist rally went viral earlier this week with a very misleading headline.
The Seattle Gay News reporter who filmed it spoke out yesterday explaining what it actually shows.

This is what I want to know: how can there be “targeted violence” without a single victim
Seattle Gay News(SGN) captured the moment the fascists crowd heard the news that their series of klan rallies were being supported by Trump with an FBI special investigation.
Be sure to donate to SGN, they have been doing a lot of excellent on the ground reporting lately!
Another set of arrests show cops dog piling on two different people after throwing them violently to the ground.
It would seem the cop riot is underway.
#Breaking Hearing reports of up to three city hall related arrests already.
Probably wise to avoid the area.
05-24-2025 - #Seattle - Cal Anderson Park
Content Warning: Christofascism
On Fire Ministries showed up in Seattle this year to continue preaching #hate at Cal Anderson Park. They were met with local resistance for the entire event.
The event started with areas in front of the stage being open, but it wasn't long before SPD and hate group ministries started drawing lines.
In many instances it appeared people were stopped or blocked from certain areas based on nothing more than SPD or hate group ministries own perceptions.
Meanwhile #antifascist counter-protesters played contrasting music at both the north and west sides of Cal Anderson Park. Tables and local artists were also at the north and east sides.
During the event SPD brought in metal blocking gates and after maybe 5 minutes of them being up it was quickly recognized how easily they all collectively come down in a domino-effect once being pushed over. This was very upsetting to the Seattle Police Department and hate group ministries helped put the gates back up.
During the event SPD used excessive force while making aggressive, unnecessary arrests. SPD also unnecessarily utilized pepper spray which negatively impacted people who it was not intended for.
Pictured: Person being held face down on the pavement while an SPD officer appears to be holding the back of their head down.
Photos withheld: A person being arrested appeared to be dragged from their feet while face down over the top of a gate, which may have resulted in an injury. In another arrest, a person's body was unwantingly exposed.
Curiously it appeared the only supporters who showed up for the hate group were the ones they brought themselves. The group pulled in almost no local support at all.
Towards the end of the event for no less than 20-25min, SPD repeatedly claimed they were being blocked from leaving. At no point was SPD blocked from exiting the park. We're not sure what's worse, listening to SPD's constant whining or SPD exhaustively repeating false claims. SPD loudly making a variety of false claims occurs at essentially every similar event they show up for.
Last year this same hate group held the same event in #OlympiaWA at the Capitol, check out our post from last year: https://kolektiva.social/@iNFoPiG/112273340363671435

The same fascists who brought their church of hate to Cal Anderson over the weekend are expected to have a small protest / press conference on the steps of city hall tonight to rail against Seattle's Bruce Harrell for not beating the gayborhood enough on saturday.
They also already have secured a permit for an upcoming repeat event at the exact same park in later this year in August.
