LOTS of blast balls being used to move back protesters here near Cal Anderson Park #Q13FOX #SeattleProtests

And now pepper balls too.

This seems to be the dance right now. Police push protesters way back on Pine, then retreat space back to the protesters. Objects thrown back and forth. #Q13FOX

Here’s a look from behind the police. Lots of colors in the air as police push people back onto Broadway. #Q13FOX

A team of medics stand by ready to help people who are sprayed or hit by crowd-control weapons #Q13FOX #seattleprotests

This nurse in scrubs gets blasted by spray while trying to grab someone away from police. Her “day job” is RN at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. She told me helping people is her calling and that’s why she’s here. And yes, her skin burns all over. #Q13FOX #SeattleProtests

Back at 11th and Pine. Everyone is just standing here for now. #Q13FOX #SeattleProtests
