EATTLE-Five police officers are hurt after an hours-long riot by
hundreds of black clad anti-capitalists that spread across the city on
May Day. Nine people were arrested.
Breitbart News was following the angry marchers as police tactics led
them out of the downtown Seattle and into an industrial zone miles
away.
The city unleashed a massive deployment of police
officers in riot gear — on foot, on bicycles, on horseback and in
vehicles — to control the crowd of dozens of masked-protesters who began
massing in Westlake Park for the unpermitted march shortly after 5 p.m.
Unlike previous years, however, police quickly herded the mob of
several hundred black-clad protesters out of Seattle’s business
district, using a choreographed rolling blockade of bicycle officers and
vans to shuttle cops in riot gear ahead of the crowd to cut off escape
routes.
These exclusive photos from Lee Stranahan and Shane Stranahan show what was happening on the ground.
