Major update, we're hearing two people has already had their cases dropped, the city attorney refused to take those two case and they will be released soon.
Please keep calling the city attorney's office(see previous toot)!
There's still a crowd of 100+ and we're really happy to get good news! 🎊🎉
Update - another two conrades were released without bail but may still be charged. The city attempted to set a $10k bail for one of them but thankfully the judge denied.
So we have four comrades coming home later tonight and we're still waiting on word on up to six.
More mostly good news, we're now at 7 total who will be released without bail. 5 of those will likely still faces charges.
However an 8th person had initial bail set at $100k, it's been reduced to $20k after a ba k and forth between their defense and the judge. (Update, bail is being posted as we toot, will be out tonight or tomorrow)
I believe existing bail funds should be able to handle it but will update as we learn more.
One of the people who was released without bail the city tried really hard to keep them in jail because they allegedly broke a cops finger.
Speaking to people who were on the ground at the time its seems this person was punched in the head by an SPD officer, which is how the cop's finger was broken 🫠
So obviously we think a lot of the people who will be back in court will handily beat the charges.
Update - Just got word that the final two people will be released without bail but may still be charged.
Really sounding like the city doesn't have much of a case if they can even get bail placed on more than one person.
Ok heading out, for now. Stay tuned for future court support, this is clearly turning into a larger political football with Donald Trump likely taking an interest in Mayor Bruce Harrell's handling of Saturday's right wing rally.
In echo's of Mayor Jenny Durkan, Harrell is obviously no supporter of leftists activitist and is naturally inclined to crack down on local activist. Much like Durkan, I expect Bruce to attempt to crack down on us more than even Trump desires to keep the right wing happy
Jail support is ongoing late into the night. Sounds like most people have been released but a few comrades are still in jail.
Also documenting todays court hearing fedi's own @Haste also was there and was able to get into the hearing.
They confirmed the double standards at play, broadcast media happy let through with full broadcasting equipment but small online journalist immediately gate kept and not allowed any electronics at all even just for notes.
They got a lot of details from memory inside the court, excellent court watch thread @Haste !
Just got word the last two comrades have been released moments ago.
While I was at court watch yesterday comrades at @divestspd worked to identify cops who used excessive force.

You can find the records on dirt bag cops like Brian Muoio on SPD.watch, Brian's discipline records below 👇🏿
He's a dirty cop known for unnecessary violence dating back to 2018. Groups like DivestSPD noticed his pattern of assaults years ago. Muoio has 20+ complaints about his fitness to be a cop. Yikes!
And @divestspd has just posted a video report on dirtbag cop Brian Muoio.
DivestSPD (@divestspd@social.seattle.wa.us)
Attached: 1 video Bad Apples is back! Ashley Nerbovig returns to bring us the dirt on Brian Muoio, the cop caught on camera throwing two protesters to the ground and pepper-spraying them Saturday. Would you be surprised to learn that he’s done this sort of thing before? Watch #BadAppples #SPD #ACAB #Seattle #BrianMuoio #ashelynerbovig #divestspd
A lot of well spoken videos coming out about Ofc Muoio today. This one does an excellent job comparing the type of coverage the traditional media outlets have done versus what we can see with our own eyes.
Master class in manufacturing consent for a police state...
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.
📸 Seattle Gay News
There happened to be a City Council Safety Committee meeting this morning which got a lot of comments from citizens about last weekend's cop riot.
My personal favorite bootlicking council member even got a shout out from Seattle Gay News for trying to claim "bad actors" provoked police.
No, we know exactly who started the conflict Ofc Brian Muoio.
More from SGN below 👇🏿
#BobKettle #Seattle #SPD #PNW #MaydayUSA #BrianMuoio #SGN #HannahSaunders
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.
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 cops are closing the streets surrounding city hall for the 5pm christian nationalist protest of the mayor.
A number of reporters are on the scene already and its nothing but cops dragging flimsy fencing.
None of the fash are even here yet and these pigs are already getting overtime.
As is typical Seattle City Council is working one some bullshit to destroy our ethics code 🤨
A large crowd of Kshama Sawant supporters are currently in attendance at this afternoon's council meeting. Many of whom worked to pass some of the housing reforms this major ethics code change will likely also make it legal to destroy.

John Robinson@johnelalamo @nullagent @divestspd Oh so much, lol! I mean, the only reason I recognized it was that I remembered making fun of it in the past.
@nullagent @divestspd
Oh, of course they're getting in trouble together. They're both in CRG.
Seattle Police Department rolls out new Community Response Group with 100 officers to speed up 911, ‘respond to demonstrations’
The Seattle Police Department is unveiling its new Community Response Group, a 100-officer unit that interim Chief Adrian Diaz said is helping bring down 911 response times on Capitol Hill and acro…
@nullagent @divestspd And like... why wouldn't it make sense to send two of the city's most violent cops to beat the shit out of protestors?
joel b@Hex @nullagent @divestspd soon they will be conducting 'wellness checks' if you even think about protesting
LukefromDC@skotchygut @Hex @nullagent @divestspd So called "wellness checks" are dangerous to BOTH sides. Challenging someone in their own castle is inherently dangerous. I know of places where the cops are so afraid of it they try to serve warrants on the road using fake traffic stops instead.
"She highlighted a video sent on Feb. 9 to the entire council of a Feb. 8 protest at Alki Beach. The video, along with a screenshot, shows an SPD officer — alleged to be Brian Muoio — first yelling at and pushing people backward, then raising what appears to be a pepperball gun at a protester’s face."
@nullagent @divestspd wonderful :)
EVHaste@nullagent Thanks for taking the night shift too, fam!
@nullagent @Haste does anyone have the names of any of the officers? Some of these things get cleared up quickly with the right records requests.
@nullagent @Haste I'm also sure you're both aware, but arresting officers can be looked up on https://spd.watch/
So for anyone targeted, it can be a good resource for your defense attorney. If there's a long list of OPA complaints against an arresting cop, especially for lying or fabricating evidence, your lawyer may be able to get prosecution to just drop the case to keep stuff out of public record.
@Hex @nullagent @Haste
At least we have names. There are people out there (you know who you are!) who can do a lot with just a name.
If cops get the idea that brutalizing protesters means a substantial risk of being doxxed, they may learn not to fuck with us.
Every person a cop has ever arrested or even ticketed is a potential enemy to them, so a doxxed cop normally has to move.
@LukefromDC @nullagent @Haste I'm just going to say "proceed with caution." I'm not up on the laws around that, but there are some special protections for cops around public records. That gets in to *very* tricky territory, very quickly.
That's all I'm gonna say about that.
Proceed with caution indeed. Electronic warfare is exactly that: warfare.
This isn't legally tricky. Law is dead in the US and if the cops know who you are after you dox one of them you will be targetted without regard for any law. If per chance doxxing them is legal where you live this will be no protection whatsoever. We KNOW what the Enemy will seek to do, that is right out in the open.
Rather it is militarily tricky: when cops get doxxed and it's gotten away with, that means our electronic warfare specialists went up against their electronic warfare specialists and defeated them. This is an ever-changing field and is a job for experts.
Tor, Tails, and cash-only transactions are the main weapons in such a fight. Just like any other weapons, it's the skill of the user that decides the outcome most of the time.
Note that the electronic battlefield is in fact a battlefield like any other, and there are no guarantees on it. Anything can happen, either side can win on any given day. So it always goes in war.

@nullagent @roknrol if true, this gives me "catch the thief, he has my knife in his back"-vibes.
Ms. Que Banh@nullagent I'm in BC but I called to leave a message. A few of my Canadian comrades are calling the number too. It can't hurt to tell them that we have seen their police protect bigots & it's all over social media.
Thank you so much from the solidarity from up north 🖤
