Last night the WSP insisted that they can’t guarantee the protestor’s safety and that they shouldn’t have been standing on i5, blaming the victims. No mention of an uptick in vehicular assaults/attempts. Here is a thread of *some* from Seattle alone [CW!!]

Some mentions of protestors anticipating and protecting against car assaults I came across (protestors acknowledge this violent phenomenon, why won’t the police or city gov?)

Vehicle Attacks Rise As Extremists Target Protesters

Twenty people are facing prosecution amid reports of at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents at protests since late May.

It astounds me that all the blame is on where the protesters have been, what they& #39;ve been doing, and all w/o any mention of this clear trend of violent assaults/harassment by drivers (both some while blocked by protests and some seeking the protestors out). #SeattleProtests
I demand an investigation into this pattern of violence and vehicular assaults on protestors & pedestrians. Here are 12 instances to start that investigation with.

Adding mention of the other 3 times Officer Molly Clark was spotted by protestors over a period of two days, which would bring the running total of this thread to 19 car encounters... https://twitter.com/lilalololol/status/1280744549053272065?s=20">https://twitter.com/lilalolol...
