Several hundred demonstrators took to the streets of Seattle again Wednesday evening in the latest in a series of anti-police protests.
Along with protesting the decision not to indict former Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson in the Michael Brown shooting, the demonstration was fueled by the decision by a Grand Jury in New York Wednesday to not indict a police officer in the choke hold death of Eric Garner.
Protesters blocked traffic at several intersections, lying down in the street in a “die-in.”
Despite a heavy police presence, the demonstration remained peaceful and no arrests were reported. It ended just before 10 p.m. back at Westlake Park.
Another protest is scheduled for Thursday.
