May Day 2015


Tensions between police and protestors ran high this May Day. The Anti-Capitalist March, which started and ended at Seattle Central Community College was the main point of issue with the police force, due to the protest’s history of violence and destruction of property. Due to the continual issue of police brutality in America at the moment, the large police presence at this march angered protestors, who began to throw rocks and other objects at officers, who responded with rubber bullets, pepper spray, flash bang grenades, and tear gas. By the time I met up with the march, they were returning to the college campus, where police in riot gear corralled them in a central courtyard. Images are below.
