Proud Boys member arrested after breaking probation terms by traveling to Seattle protest zone

Source: KPTV

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) – A member of the Proud Boys group has been arrested after he violated his probation by traveling to a demonstration area in Seattle and was allegedly involved in an attack.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, a Clark County resident, on June 18.

Toese, 24, was arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Jail six days later.

He was wanted by authorities after people reported on June 15 and 16 that Toese had traveled to Seattle and was involved in an assault near the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). He was recorded on video pushing a man while others punched the man and threw the man’s cell phone to the ground, breaking it.

Toese was also filmed walking through the CHAZ.

The morning after day-long protests turned violent, ending in property damage, two landmark statues being toppled, and an alleged attack on a state senator, a spokesperson who said she represented “a united front of organizers and activists for black liberation” issued a series of demands.

The spokesperson, Ebony Anderson-Carter, said she was speaking on behalf of multiple groups. In her statement, she said they were demanding the release of the man whose arrest Tuesday afternoon triggered the protests. The groups also demanded a Madison Police Department officer be fired and that the department itself be defunded and the money be “reallocated to the community.”

Anderson-Carter went on to describe the groups’ efforts as “a revolutionary fight” for human rights on behalf of all oppressed people.

“Please don’t take the actions out here as violence. Please don’t take that actions out here as misconstrued either,” she urged. “Take these actions as voices.”

Anderson-Carter concluded by saying the groups were asking for a dialogue.

Basing that simply on my estimation of the creativity of the Proud Boys.

They try to incite violence at peaceful protests in San Diego for over 3 years.
