Seattle police say prepared for more protests
By
Victoria Cavaliere SEATTLE (Reuters) - Seattle police said on Saturday
they were preparing for more weekend protests after a May Day march that
turned violent when crowds hurled bottles and wrenches at officers, who
responded with pepper spray and flash grenades. Sixteen people were
arrested in the violence, which erupted late Friday after a day of
peaceful demonstrations to call attention to workers' rights,
immigration issues and police treatment of minorities in the United
States. "However if there is physical violence or property destruction
we will take action to protect public safety." Protesters annually
assemble on May 1 as a day to focus attention on labor and immigration
issues, but demonstrators in cities across the country also used the
occasion to rally against police violence. The violent protests in
Seattle contrasted with peaceful and even celebratory demonstrations in
Baltimore after prosecutors brought charges on Friday against all six
officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black
man who died of spinal injuries suffered while in police custody last
month.Read More ...
