Wait, this story is wild. A tenacious mall cop realized his store was dealing with no ordinary shoplifters. He put in solid detective work and tracked down his store's stolen goods still in Rite-Aid branded packages on the shelves of a fencing operation near by. This led to a Seattle cop who owned the fencing operation and frequently worked there sorting and selling stolen goods while he was supposed to be on duty 😳

While I was at court watch yesterday I spoke to people who were witnesses to the arrest of this man below.

His only crime was walking through Cal Anderson on his way to a hair cut. Multiple people at court watch witnessed him get randomly tackled so hard he had to eventually be taken to the hospital.

This type of "wrong place, wrong time" police beat down is EXACTLY what made 2020 protests grow.

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.

So now the fascists say they will be protesting Bruce Harrell tonight.

It's generally not advised that anyone attend or counter protest them... bc fuck Bruce Harrell, good luck with your new found bed fellow Bruce.

It's pretty clear MaydayUSA isn't likely to draw much of a crowd tonight and are just trying to provoke another cop riot.

Show threadnullagentMay 27

It's a never ending gaslight fest.

The fash say that because their event closed early its a sign of religious persecution at the hands of Mayor Harrell.

Bruce on the other hand bulldozed a protest garden (#BLMG) precisely to enable events. The largest of which has been the fascist MaydayUSA tour (now planning an encoure).

Bruce asked them to wrap up a smidgen early and now both wants to claim that as a victory.

The vote on the ethics change is expected to come next Tuesday.

Today's official business is to discuss a proclamation against "hate" "all hate" in response to the events at Cal Anderson on May 24th.

They essentially wrote a both sides proclamation without acknowledging that the cops started a cop riot. They say they support the LGBTQ community but keep saying things that seem to call out "troublemakers" who "infiltrated" a "peaceful protest".

I can't roll my eyes hard enough.

Here's footage of the first few arrests. Local fascists streamer Jonathan Choe and another live streamer SquidTips get into an argument. A man standing nearby is struck unprovoked or in error by Choe with a baton. The man moves to defend himself and Choe cries that the man should be arrested, and he is.

The cops then also arrest another man at random. He seems extremely confused by the whole situation and says he wasn't involved.

The Iron Front was originally a political organization in Germany in the years before the Nazi takeover. Their flag, three arrows diagonally from right to left, represented opposition to Monarchism, Nazism and Authoritarian Communism. There have been a bunch of different variations over the years. In the modern age, three arrows across a pic have basically just become an antifascist way to quickly deface fascist propaganda without making it unreadable, but it has been a symbol of opposition to all forms of authoritarianism for a century.
