Seattle Police have erected a barrier fence at Cal Anderson Park in Capitol Hill...

...and have been using flash grenades to disperse the crowd. Not clear why they're blocking things here.

1. I asked that question the other day

The explanation I got was that there is a police department there.

5. Barrier

The barrier isn’t around the park - it is at an intersection across from the park near the SPD precinct. Protestors were gassed and flash banged a little while ago but have regrouped. There are live-streams available if you scroll through #seattleprotests on twitter. Protests have been there everyday and non violent. (My son is there)

6. Did I miss something?

From the news of the crap that the police are pulling in Seattle I must have missed the news about Washington state flipping from blue to red.
