DIFFERENT
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. >> ALL RIGHT, CHRIS, THANK YOU.
>>> WE WANT TO GET BACK TO
DOWNTOWN SEATTLE BECAUSE THINK
THINGS ARE BECOMING ESCALATED
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. LET'S GET BACK TO VANESSA
MISCIAGNA.
MISCIAGNA. WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> Reporter: YEAH, THE POLICE
LINE HAS BEEN MOVING VERY
SWIFTLY UP THROUGH WEST LAKE.
WE HAVE SEEN SOME SPD OFFICERS
SPRAY SOME TEAR GAS.
THE LINE IS MOVING VERY
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME. THE LINE IS MOVING VERY
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. WE'VE SEEN SOME PUSHBACK FROM
PROTESTERS.
PROTESTERS. AS POLICE HAVE BEGUN TO MOVE
THE LINE.
THE LINE.
THE LINE. THEY HAVE SAID NUMEROUS TIMES,
REMINDING ABOUT THE PERFUME IN
PLACE.
PLACE.
PLACE. AND THEY ACTUALLY NOT TOO LONG
AGO A FEW MINUTES AGO, THEY
SENT OUT A WARNING THAT THEY
COULD USE NON-LETHAL TACTICS,
PEPPER SPRAY, TEAR GAS, TO
CONTROL THE CROWDS.
I SEE SOME OFFICERS SHAKING
THEIR TEAR GAS CANS.
AND THEY ARE REALLY TRYING TO
GET THESE PROTESTERS OUT OF
WESTLAKE.
WESTLAKE.
WESTLAKE. AND OUT OF WESTLAKE.
YOU CAN SEE THE POLICE
OFFICERS, THEY ARE USING THEIR
MICS AS A BARRICADE TO GET
PROTESTERS TO MOVE BACK.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE
DOING RIGHT NOW.
>> VANESSA, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME.
>> YOU CAN SEE PROTESTERS
PUSHING BACK A LITTLE BIT,
POLICE MOVING VERY SWIFTLY.
I MEAN CLEARLY THERE'S A TOTAL
DISREGARD FOR THE CURFEW THAT
WENT INTO EFFECT AT 5:00.
ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT WHY
THEY ARE DEFINING THAT?
>> THEY'RE DEFYING IT ALL DAY,
WANTING TO GET THEIR MESSAGE
HEARD AND THEY HAD BEEN WORKING
WITH OFFICERS EARLIER TO
CONTINUE MARCHING ON.
AND THEY WANTED TO BE HERE AND
THEY WANTED PEACEFUL
DEMONSTRATION.
DEMONSTRATION. AND FOR THE DAY IT WAS, THE
PROTESTERS WE HAVE TALKED TO,
THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE
CURFEW AND THEY CARED ABOUT
GETTING THEIR WORDS OUT AND
THEIR MESSAGE OUT.
THEIR MESSAGE OF PEACE.
BUT NOW --
>>
>>
>> THERE'S A WOMAN WALKING TO YOUR
LEFT.
LEFT.
LEFT. >>
LEFT. >> I'M SORRY FOR THE PROFANITY.
WHAT WAS THAT, JOYCE?
>> THERE IS A WOMAN WALKING TO
YOUR LEFT.
YOUR LEFT. I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS DONE
TALKING TO YOU, BUT I WOULD BE
CURIOUS.
CURIOUS.
CURIOUS. SHE HAS PASSED.
IT'S FINE.
IT'S FINE. JUST SO MANY PEOPLE.
>> WE ARE ALL GOOD.
>> YEAH, THEY ARE PUSHING THIS
CROWD, JOYCE, DOWN FOURTH RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. YOU
NOW. YOU CAN SEE THE PROTESTERS
WALKING BACKWARDS.
WALKING BACKWARDS. MANY OF THEM ARE OUT, BUT DOING
SO SLOWLY.
SO SLOWLY. THAT SOUNDED LIKE A FLASH BANG.
IT'S GOING OFF OVER THERE
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
AGAIN. THERE IS A VERY BIG LINE ACROSS
FOURTH AVENUE INTO WESTLAKE
PARK.
PARK.
PARK. POLICE OFFICERS, THEY ARE
PUSHING THE CROWD DOWN FOURTH,
GETTING THEM TO DISPERSE.
THEY HAD ALLOWED PROTESTERS TO
BE ON THE STREETS FOR WELL OVER
FIVE HOURS AFTER A CURFEW AND
NOW THEY'VE BEEN AT THEIR
BREAKING POINTS.
BREAKING POINTS. AND HAVING THEM GO HOME.
IT IS TIME TO GO.
I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ARRESTS.
AND IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES FOR
A CURFEW, JUST VERY, VERY
ADAMANT SHOW OF FORCE BY POLICE
TO GET PROTESTERS TO DISPERSE,
AND SO NOW THEY'RE PUSHING US
DOWN PIKE STREET.
PUSHING THE CROWD DOWN PIKE
STREET.
STREET.
STREET. SEEING SOME SHOVING BY
PROTESTERS.
POLICE
POLICE FORMING A LINE AT TIMES. >> IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO
TALK TO ANYBODY WITH YOU?
>> AND THEY ARE NOT, I HEAR
MUCH DISCUSSING, JUST WALKING
FORWARD DOWN PIKE.
AND AT SOME OF THE PROTESTERS
WHO ARE ENCOURAGING OTHERS, NOT
TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST POLICE.
BUT JUST TO LISTEN.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY
PROFANITY THAT YOU MAY HEAR AND
AGAIN, THE POLICE LINE IS
SWIFTLY MOVING DOWN PIKE
STREET.
STREET.
STREET. >> HEY, VANESSA, WE WOULD WANT
TO MENTION THAT THEY WILL SEE A
MAN BEHIND YOU.
AND WE HAVE HIRED SECURITY FOR
CREWS BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUES.
AND SO YES, WE HAVE A SECURITY
GUARD IN CASE THEY ARE UNDER
THAT NOW WITH THE SECURITY
GUARD WHO WILL BE KEEPING US
SAFE.
SAFE.
SAFE. >>
SAFE. >> EXACTLY, YES.
AND THAT IS WHO WE HAVE HIRED
TO KEEP ME AND MY PHOTOGRAPHER,
MICHAEL SAFE AND WE JUST SAW A
WATER BOTTLE BEING THROWN FROM
THE CROWD TOWARDS POLICE
OFFICERS.
OFFICERS.
OFFICERS. >> VANESSA, I HAVE TO ASK YOU
THAT QUESTION.
THAT QUESTION. VANESSA, I HAVE TO ASK YOU THE
QUESTION.
QUESTION.
QUESTION. IT'S NOT LIKE ANYBODY WOULD
PARK THEIR CAR HERE AND
EVERYONE IS ON FOOT.
AND I'M WONDERING WHAT THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PLAN IS,
WHERE THEY WILL EXPECT PEOPLE
TO GO AND AS THEY ARE PUSHING
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. >>
THEM. >> AND IT IS HARD TO HEARD.
IF THEY DON'T HAVE CARS NEARBY
AND I MEAN IT'S HARD TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR PLAN IS.
>> A LOT OF THESE STREETS, THEY
ARE CLOSED, A LOT OF THESE
STREETS ARE CLOSED TO TRAFFIC.
WE ARE RIDING AROUND HERE IN
JUST A FEW HOURS AGO AND THERE
IS A LOT OF BARRICADES ON THE
STREETS.
STREETS.
STREETS. SO THEY'RE PUSHING THE CROWD UP
TOWARDS PIKE STREET.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR
STRATEGY IS TO PUSH THEM OUT.
JUST GETTING US AT WEST LAKES.
THAT'S THE MAIN GOAL.
ANYONE THAT YOU CAN ASK NEAR
YOU, I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHY THEY
HAVE ASKED THEM TO STAY AND A
VARIETY OF REASONS AND PROBABLY
UNIVERSALLY FOR MANY OF THEM
BECAUSE THEY ARE PROTESTING FOR
THE SAME CAUSE.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THEIR
THOUGHTS IF YOU ARE ABLE TO
TALK TO ANYONE WHILE YOU'RE ON
THE MOVE.
THE MOVE.
THE MOVE. >> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> HERE, LET ME ASK.
AND SO MY NAME IS VANESSA WITH
KING 5, DO YOU MIND IF I ASK
YOU A QUESTION?
>> SURE, SURE, SURE.
>> Reporter: SO THE CURFEW IS
AT 5:00.
AT 5:00.
AT 5:00. WHY DID YOU STAY PAST THE
CURFEW?
CURFEW?
CURFEW? >> SAY THAT AGAIN?
>> Reporter: WHY DID YOU STAY
PAST THE CURFEW?
>> I MEAN LIKE MINNEAPOLIS
POLICE OFFICERS, I MEAN,
MINNEAPOLIS -- [ INAUDIBLE ]
LIKE THE WHOLE POLICE OFFICERS
FOR FIRST-DEGREE MURDER, THIS
IS WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOING TO
STOP.
STOP.
STOP. AND
STOP. AND UNTIL THEN, WE'RE STILL
GOING TO MARCH AND PROTEST.
>> AND WERE YOU PLANNING ON
STAYING PAST THE CURFEW COMING
OUT HERE ORIGINALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I WAS ABOUT TO GO HOME.
I WAS AT WORK THE WHOLE TIME.
AND THEN I SAW PEOPLE
PROTESTING, YEP, I'M GOING TO
JOIN.
JOIN.
JOIN. >>
JOIN. >> WELL THANK YOU, MAN.
I APPRECIATE IT.
GET HOME SAFE.
>> YES.
