  1. EXCLUSIVE: Newly obtained bodycam footage from the May 24 bust-up in Cal Anderson shows a Seattle police sergeant beating a protester on the ground

    Apparently, the sergeant also fabricated probable cause for the arrest.

  2. There's been an update in this story, the hate preachers at the heart of the Cal Anderson police riot are now attempting to sue the City of Seattle over what they claim is religious bias.

    The city didn't allow them to hold their event in a location on Pike st where there wasn't room. The church says, that was one point of bias 🙃

    Once the cops rioted, the event was shutdown by the city. The church also says bias there too.

  3. Trouble brewing in disfunctional @mayorofseattle office with “approval” of Christian Nationalist rally against LGBTQ+ people in Cal Anderson park in LGBTQ+ neighborhood of Capital Hill. Last time, in May of this year there was a police riot against protesters of this event. Now Feucht and Co. are back for more. Good discussion.

  4. In a "feels like a Portlandia episode" moment the city decided to handle the mosaic exactly how it does all other graffiti.

    City workers and cops did what they were told to do. They painted right on over the rat mural and the city council debated giving the cops even more resources and punishments to doll out to make sure this sort of thing(clever art) never happens again in Seattle.

  5. If you're not super into local city politics you might have missed it.

    Throughout the passed year or so graffiti celebrating rats has appeared throughout Cal Anderson park and probably around the city.

    After the city razed the BLM Memorial Garden #BLMG from the park the mayor's office has seemed hell bent on keeping the park clear of any signs of community life not pre-approved by the local government.

    So they put a ton of effort into erasing the rat themed graffiti.

  10. #MutualAidRequest Protest medic beaten by cops needs community support.

    "I was diagnosed at the hospital with a concussion and, since that day, have had to go to the emergency room twice for passing out multiple times and serious confusion.

    This brutality from the police has made it so I’m not only unable to work, but suffering from massive confusion and possible serious brain injuries."

  15. 05-24-2025 - #Seattle - Cal Anderson Park

    Content Warning: Christofascism

    On Fire Ministries showed up in Seattle this year to continue preaching #hate at Cal Anderson Park. They were met with local resistance for the entire event.

    The event started with areas in front of the stage being open, but it wasn't long before SPD and hate group ministries started drawing lines.

    In many instances it appeared people were stopped or blocked from certain areas based on nothing more than SPD or hate group ministries own perceptions.

    Meanwhile #antifascist counter-protesters played contrasting music at both the north and west sides of Cal Anderson Park. Tables and local artists were also at the north and east sides.

    During the event SPD brought in metal blocking gates and after maybe 5 minutes of them being up it was quickly recognized how easily they all collectively come down in a domino-effect once being pushed over. This was very upsetting to the Seattle Police Department and hate group ministries helped put the gates back up.

    During the event SPD used excessive force while making aggressive, unnecessary arrests. SPD also unnecessarily utilized pepper spray which negatively impacted people who it was not intended for.

    Pictured: Person being held face down on the pavement while an SPD officer appears to be holding the back of their head down.

    Photos withheld: A person being arrested appeared to be dragged from their feet while face down over the top of a gate, which may have resulted in an injury. In another arrest, a person's body was unwantingly exposed.

    Curiously it appeared the only supporters who showed up for the hate group were the ones they brought themselves. The group pulled in almost no local support at all.

    Towards the end of the event for no less than 20-25min, SPD repeatedly claimed they were being blocked from leaving. At no point was SPD blocked from exiting the park. We're not sure what's worse, listening to SPD's constant whining or SPD exhaustively repeating false claims. SPD loudly making a variety of false claims occurs at essentially every similar event they show up for.

    Last year this same hate group held the same event in #OlympiaWA at the Capitol, check out our post from last year: kolektiva.social/@iNFoPiG/1122

  17. It took all the cops SPD could muster to enable the right wing terrorist led event to go on uninterrupted.

    Seattle cops arrested 18 to 30 people who were protesting the anti trans event.

    The arrests were extremely violent and at least one person was sent to the hospital. I'm getting reports of things like a bike cop headbutting a woman then macing her after she was down and possibly already handcuffed.

    Significant police use of force.
