#ground 7:09pm SPD officers on their Bearcat pushing protestors down the street

#ground 7:10pm This appears to be an SPD police truck with concert PA speakers mounted on top, I believe they're using this contraption to make announcements to the protestors.

#scanner 19:16 suspicious vehicle following march, white toyota rav4 bjc5069 at 6 and holgate, no weapons seen, three white males in black hoodies and bulletproof vests. note that this is out of the cops' mouth so take with a grain of salt

#scanner additional units requested for hostile crowd at 3 and pine, unsure if protest related

#recap at 6:23pm (SPOG protest recap) SPD sent out a fuckload of bike cops (50+ officers) on the protest from behind the SPOG building as soon as protestors arrived. Officers immediately started physically shoving protestors, firing blast balls and impact munitions, and possibly other aerosol based crowd control munitions into the crowd without any kind of provocation. They were playing very loud country music (apparently the song Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy) from either the SPOG headquarters or their silly police boombox truck as the event unfolded. This was one of the most aggressive and quickly asymmetrically escalated attacks on protestors that I've seen so far from SPD.

As the initial chaos unfolded, it seems that they made several arrests. Protestors quickly moved to the defensive and were quickly advanced on by SPD bike cops. SPD pushed the protestors continuously backwards for about an hour (and about a mile and a half) before protestors dispersed in Judkins Park.

In regards to arrests, at least 3 are seen being arrested in some videos circulating around, however there may be more. It appears that another protestor was shot in the face with impact munitions.

SPD is sending a tactical task force to Harborview #scanner

[TAC West 10:42pm] "David 1 on PTAC"
"hey Tylor are you secure right now in the hospital?"
"affirm"
"let's try and sit this out and we'll check in in about a half an hour"#scanner

Tactical West 10:30:08 PM - "1. Hey are you parked on the ramp or are you down below?" - "2. I'm down below the ramp. My car is exposed" #scanner

SPD arrested Tatii and TK of the EDM some time after the dispersal from the SPOG protest tonight. An officer bodyslammed TK to the ground outside the West Precinct, and arrested her for "obstruction", a misdemeanor offense. TK's head hit the ground when the officer bodyslammed her, and she has since been escorted to Harborview Hospital. There is a number of protestors at Harborview right now.

[TAC West 11:08pm] "why don't we just stand by, SPOC's (Seattle Police Operations Center) last update was that it was starting to thin out a little bit, so we'll see if that carries on, if not we'll head back up there and put eyes on and see how many units we need to get you out" #scanner
