    Protesters are suing Seattle – because the equipment used to riot is too expensive.
    |August 5, 2020 |Categories Featured, Must Reads


    SEATTLE WA – The same group of people that have been attacking the city of Seattle since May are now suing the police department seeking reimbursement for buying protective equipment, amongst other things.

    This group of people claim in their lawsuit that the Seattle Police Department is forcing them to buy the “expensive” equipment so they can peacefully protest.

    The lawsuit was filed on August 3rd in the United States District Court in the Western District of Washington.

    The plaintiffs in the case, Jessica Benton, Shelby Bryant, Anne Cavanaugh, Alyssa Garrison, and Claire Thomas (all fresh out of their parents’ basement) are alleging that their civil rights have been violated.

    They claim that they are just trying to peacefully march and protest police brutality but the “omnipresent” Seattle Police Department is at each protest wielding “power and pain on the streets,” by illegally attacking them with chemical munitions and less lethal rounds.

    In their belief, only those who can afford to buy expensive protective equipment can protest, or really riot, and thus is the crux of the lawsuit. Except for their demands….

    The lawsuit clearly spells out their demands, that this group of cowards, who mainly march while masked so their parents cannot be ashamed and it makes them getting arrested harder, that police department be defunded by 50%.

    Not only that, but they demand that “pending charges against protesters arrested in Seattle” be dropped.

    The group of criminals claim they were subjected to “unmitigated violence” at the hands of the police on July 25th while just peacefully protesting. What the lawsuit fails to mention is this peaceful protest was actually a riot in which over 55 police officers were injured. What started out as a peaceful protest against all police turned violent as they often do.

    In the lawsuit, the group says, “Because the Seattle Police Department has acted above and outside the law in dispensing its unbridled force, and the City has failed to prevent same, the government effect is to establish a de facto protest tax.”

    Individual protesters subjected to SPD’s unabated and indiscriminate violence now must purchase cost-prohibitive gear to withstand munitions -even when peacefully protesting -as a condition to exercising their right to free speech and peaceable assembly.”

    Apparently, the group’s definition of peaceable assembly is confused with illegal and violent riot. That type of confusion can happen when they live out their lives in a basement.

    The plaintiffs in this ridiculous lawsuit want a judge to prevent the Seattle Police Department from using any tactics which would be done to quell a riot.

      With the wacko judges serving in certain districts, don't be too surprised if they are somehow accommodated.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
