Body-cam clip shows rioters attacking cops with explosives

  • 4 years ago
A main thoroughfare in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood resembled a war zone Saturday, with protesters reportedly throwing rocks, bottles, liquid-filled balloons, fireworks, and other explosives at police officers, who responded with pepper spray, sponge grenades, and blast balls to disperse the crowds. In body-cam footage posted by the Seattle Police Department, an explosion is seen on the street among a team of cops moving toward the protesters on their bikes. In the other parts of the video, explosives can be seen being thrown among the officers as they slowly retreat.
