Seattle anti-police protests descend into riots as officers injured; 18 arrested


Eighteen people were arrested late Sunday in Seattle when an anti-police protest descended into a riot, with members from the group throwing rocks and explosives at law enforcement officers, authorities said Monday. The protest began in the Seattle neighborhood of SoDo around 7 p.m., with an estimated 100 people marching on foot with cars following behind them, according to a Monday morning press release by the Seattle Police Department. They made their way to the building that houses the Seattle Police Officer Guild and, within hours, the demonstration turned violent. Even after police officers ordered the crowd to disperse, people from the group allegedly began throwing bottles and rocks at them. "Multiple explosives were thrown toward officers,” the press release stated.
