Rioters in Seattle were arrested Saturday night after breaking glass and allegedly throwing an explosive at police officers.
Q13 reports that the would-be rioters “gathered around Cal Anderson Park in Capitol Hill around 9 p.m.,” then things escalated and they began destroying property.
Fox News reports that the rioters broke the window of a Starbucks coffee shop, spray-painted buildings, and allegedly threw explosives twice. They allegedly threw one explosive in the Starbucks then the other at police officers.
One of their spay painted messages said, “Save a Life, Hang a Cop.”
