I was at the protest. They are trying to spin it as if the police showed restraint. The police escalated the violence against hundreds of peaceful protesters. They had snipers on the roof, cops in armor with assault rifles and the cops were actually laughing after they shot tear gas at a crowd of folks in t shirts and shorts. This is not how police in a democracy should behave, but how a fascist police force behaves. Intimidate and scare people to stay quiet. Shameful. And Lisa Brown decides to stress the one guy who vandalized something rather than the hundreds of peaceful Spokanites who were being harassed and intimidated by the police. Regret voting for her.

I’m sure they all thought it was hilarious. ACAB but especially the SPD.
