It’s MLKjr day and Black Lives Matter blocked a major freeway in Seattle a few minutes ago, forcing cops to take them off the freeway one by one:

The activists who filmed this are angry that one of the officers isn’t wearing a mask, threatening to get him fired his lack of covid compliance. Which is beyond idiotic, because these activists are the ones out in the middle of the road forcing officers to manhandle them to restore order on the freeway.
Here they are on the side of the freeway getting arrested, as traffic starts moving again.
#Seattleprotest kids are getting arrested for blocking the freeway right now. Large march walking through Seattle right now, as well. pic.twitter.com/kDORQDHoNg

Other Seattle officers were subjected to harassment and abuse by more BLM activists (WARNING: LANGUAGE):

Here’s another BLM protest in Portland just beginning, which will undoubtedly turn violent later:
Large group marching in Portland for MLK Day. Haven't seen this many people in awhile…stimulus checks must have dropped. Notice how they went away when the money was gone? pic.twitter.com/eDJo3jwmFw
