I just got a call from Seattle's "World Can't Wait" march in Capital Hill (Seattle neighborhood). Turns out that three people from Oly just got arrested by the Seattle Police Department. The SPD officer #6620, M. Hyra, decided that an anarcho-syndicalist flag is fair game for theft. When the three men objected, they were each thrown to the ground and arrested. Guess it's going to be a long day in Seattle! There's a call for jail solidarity at the East Precinct in Cap Hill.

Names of the arrested are known, but unpublished at this time pending legal advice on its potential effect in pending, unrelated cases.

Shouts to Uncle Jessie, Trotsky, and Jake.

Three men's charges

Person one has: Obstructing an Officer and Resisting Arrest

Person two has: Obstructing an Officer

Person three has: Investigation for Assault

Person three has had bail denied.
So far, I have heard that the bail was $1000 for the two men whose bail was not denied - but the King Co Booking system says $0 on the website.

Your insight serves you well, Norm - but bury your feelings deep - they may be made to serve the Emperor. And this kind of thing is just the sort of jury contamination we would not need. From the stories I have heard (within an hour from eye witnesses) the SPD officers were picking the "fight." We'll see if there is video soon enough.

Olympian mentions this post.......

....but from what I can see, doesn't provide link.
There was an unconfirmed report on the online community news site Olyblog that three Olympia residents were arrested during a demonstration in Seattle.

Funny....

Just goes to show you that the Corporate Fishwrapper does not pay enough attention to the indymedia sites.

Even the Olympian could not name the Lacey officer accused of rape in August. They could not figure out how to elicit that information. In a couple weeks I'll be able to tell you... stay tuned.
