Seattle Announces $15 Minimum Wage, Highest In The U.S.

[freshwest]

21. May Day. International Workers' Day. Anarchists who didn't care about the wage hike had their fun:

Officers on bicycles stopped protesters at East Pine Street and Broadway by making a formation with their bodies and bicycles. Officers were hit with bottles, bricks, and other projectiles. Police were shoved, and they shoved back. Seattle police said they believed officers used pepper spray in only one incident.

Shortly before 11 p.m., garbage gans were set on fire as police stayed around the group on Capitol Hill.

Seattle police said 10 people were arrested during the demonstrations:

* A 22-year-old man for property damage in the 1500 block of Broadway.
* A 23-year-old man for assaulting an officer at Sixth Avenue and Battery Street—officers also recovered a gun on the man during the arrest.
* An 18-year-old man for malicious mischief at Sixth Avenue and Virginia Street, where he damaged at least one vehicle.
* A 22-year-old man arrested for obstruction at Fifth Avenue and Virginia Street.
* A 17-year-old man arrested for property damage at Sixth and Pine Street.
* A 37-year-old man arrested for assault at Broadway and Pine Street.
* A 21-year-old man arrested for assault at Broadway and Pine Street.
* A 19-year-old arrested for assault at Broadway and Pine Street.
* A 20-year-old man arrested for assault at Broadway and E Olive Way.
* A 17-year-old man arrested for obstruction at Broadway and Pine Street.
