Seattle PD Arrest Over A Dozen At ANTIFA Soccer Game, Local Fella Goes REEEEEEEE!

Seattle police broke up what participants called an “antifa soccer” game and arrested seven people Sunday in Cal Anderson Park, where the city recently cleared a homeless encampment.

One person required paramedic care during the confrontation between police and the group, as shown in photos by Matt Mitgang, who was walking in the neighborhood during the incident. The 26-year-old man, who had a medical issue, was taken to Harborview Medical Center in stable condition, said David Cuerpo, Fire Department spokesperson.

On-scene video shows several officers walking toward the soccer game, and the dispute, which occurred at about 4:30 p.m. “You all do realize the double standard here, right?” a participant tells police who arrived to remove the black-clad group, according to Instagram footage. Group members said other people have been playing in the park without being shooed out by police.

One man spit on an officer and was arrested, said police Detective Patrick Michaud. Then six people “attempted to unarrest that individual,” he wrote in an update online. A large group surrounded the officers, and more police were called in, Michaud said.
