Seattle Then and Now

by: Benjamin Lukoff
Seattle Then and Now presents archival photos along with modern views of the same sites as they appear today. One can see the city as it looked when Denny Hill still rose above downtown, when the University of Washington occupied a mere city block, when Duwamish canoes still put in at Ballast Island, and when missiles were based in Magnolia and naval aircraft at Sand Point. Thanks to the efforts of preservationists, places like Pioneer Square and the Pike Place Market look much as they did a century ago, while structures such as Union Station and the Eagles Auditorium live on with new uses.

Police pepper spray Seattle shoppers fighting over Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords [New December 2011]

SEATTLE -- Police used pepper spray to break up fights among shoe buyers who pushed and shoved outside the Westfield Southcenter mall to pick up some of the first Nike retro Air Jordans that went on sale early Friday morning. Police said more than 1000 people lined up outside the mall, located just south of Seattle. Shoppers said the shoes were supposed to go on sale at 4 am and people could start lining up at 2 am, but some people arrived earlier than they were supposed to. Police were called in to control disputes that broke out over line-cutting or pushing. Shoppers described the scene as chaotic and at times dangerous. "They just moved everyone to one single line, so they are pretty upset," said Charles Wilby, shopper. "Everyone is fighting over the shoes, arguing and stuff." Arguments escalated and shoppers reported screaming, yelling and pushing. Police said at one point, the force of the crowd bent a door off its hinges and some people managed to run inside the mall. A fight broke out among some of the shoppers and police used pepper spray to break up the fight. "Everybody was trying to stop the fight, and they just started spraying," said one shopper. "It was just crazy, with people and commotion, all the police showing up and pepper spraying," said Tawnni Merlino, who was in the crowd. Tukwila Police Officer Mike Murphy said about 20 people were sprayed in a group. One man was arrested for assault after police say he pushed an officer. No one was injured. "It was ...

Seattle Police Attack Jennifer Fox, Occupy Protesters with Chemical Weapons, Bikes

More Police Brutality against Occupy: www.youtube.com/IowaBoyDave This is the police attack that Jennifer Fox says caused the miscarriage of her unborn child. Seattle Police Department indiscriminantly attacks Seattleites and Occupy Seattle protesters with chemical weapons on Tuesday, November 15. Officer R. Martinez jokes about harming people. IowaBoyDave raises a little hell about the cancellation of First Amendment right in the United States. Dorli Rainey got hit in the first volley. As does Jennifer Fox, who subsequently miscarried her unborn child. Jennifer was apparently hit by the one of the officers shown here who picks his bicycle up and lunges it at her. You can see a whole line of officers doing this simultaneously. This was not only an act of individual brutality by each of these seattle police department officers involved, but the coordinated and simultaneous efforts shows that commanders far out of camera range were making decisions while talking to the foot patrol via radio.
