Downtown storefront smashed in Seattle George Floyd protest

SEATTLE (AP) — Dozens of people gathered in downtown Seattle Friday night to protest the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody and some black-clad anarchists smashed up a storefront window.

The rally started in the city's International District, and then moved north to downtown. Protesters chanted :” I can’t breathe” and “Black Lives Matter.”

Video from KOMO-TV showed several people smashing windows at an Amazon Go grocery store. Police on bicycles attempted to move people along.

The Seattle Fire Department told all downtown business owners via Twitter Friday night to “immediately secure all open areas,” including outdoor seating areas, garages, dumpsters and recycling bins, and remove all combustibles that can’t be secured.

It's usually the Black Bloc anarchists that start shit in any Seattle demonstration.
