Seattle protests planned following release of Tyre Nichols footage
Video of a traffic stop that ultimately led to the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, has now been released, and Seattle is preparing for city-wide protests over what the Memphis Police Chief described as “acts that defy humanity,” according to CNN.
Members of the Seattle Black Anarcho Coalition were the first to announce a formalized gathering over the incident, with a planned protest starting at 7 p.m. at Cal Anderson Park.
Seattle Black Anarcho Coalition is group focused on the liberation of BIPOC communities against capitalism and racism. The group later stated, while members are participating in the protest, it is not held by SBAC.
A local Twitter account, Punch Your Local Nazis, posted about another gathering at 6 p.m. in Pioneer Square
