WA - Anti-police protesters return to Seattle streets

A group of about 150 decidedly angry demonstrators roved downtown Seattle Friday night in protest of King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg's decision that there will be no criminal charges filed against Seattle police Officer Ian Birk in the fatal shooting of First Nations woodcarver John T. Williams.

At one point, the back window of a police cruiser was broken out, and some in the crowd threw rocks and bottles. There was some shoving back and forth, and police used pepper spray on a group of about 15 people attempting to skirt a line set up to prevent protesters from going north from Cherry Street on First Avenue.
