On Saturday night the rioters in Seattle went nuts and in the process burned buildings assaulted police and in general acted like the retards they are. In all 59 police officers were injured in one night as the rioters hit them with large rocks, bottles, fireworks and other explosives. What they couldn’t burn, they vandalized. Mayor Jenny Durkan says that she doesn’t want Trump sending in the feds because it will lead to violence. What does that dunce think has been going on in her city for two months now.
According to the Seattle Police Department blotter rioters pelted police officers with “explosives, rocks, bottles, and wood,” resulting in injuries such as “abrasions and bruising to burns and a torn meniscus.” During the course of the night, police arrested 47 people on charges ranging from “assaults on officers, failure to disperse, and obstruction.”
Earlier today, at least 1 person breached a fence line @ the East Precinct. Moments later, a device exploded leaving an ~8” hole in the side of the precinct. This was one of several dangerous incidents that led SPD to declare today’s incident a riot. Arson/Bomb dets investigating pic.twitter.com/pGC3kpQzhT

Durkan said:
You have seen the introduction of a significant number of federal agents who night after night after night have escalated violence and have had a fight a running fight on Portland that has created there a public safety risk and has made the city — it’s incapable for them to move on and get to the healing they need and do what they need to do to make important systemic changes that people are demanding in the streets. And in Seattle we want to make sure that doesn’t happen here.
“Instead of giving us the help we need he wants to send in federal forces and federal agents to escalate tensions.”
