Now you will hear little about this from the liberal media. Now if Tea Party memners did this I am sure it would be the #1 story for months in the liberal media
The Seattle Police Department on Thursday released video of what it said shows its side of the violent clashes with Occupy protesters (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/see-seattle-police-use-percussion-grenades-to-dispel-occupy-protesters/) earlier this week, capturing protesters hurling bricks, flares and other dangerous items at officers.
Police deployed “flash bang” percussion grenades and pepper spray against protesters blocking the entrance to a Port of Seattle facility Monday, The Blaze previously reported (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/see-seattle-police-use-percussion-grenades-to-dispel-occupy-protesters/). Eleven people were arrested, and some protesters complained about excessive or even brutal force on the part of the police.
But the police department said the tactics came after protesters grew increasingly violent toward officers. In one clip, a projectile that appears to be a brick is thrown toward police, and in another clip, a roadside flare. Additional footage show an officer with what police say is paint on his face from a filled paper bag.
