It seems the tv coverage of attack/retreat of police in Baltimore are being used by the anarchists, as demonstrated in various locales yesterday. Here's Seattle:

May Day Mayhem: 3 SPD officers hurt as rioters march through SeattleBy KOMO Staff Published: <abbr class="published dtstamp" title="2015-05-2T2:07:9Z" style="border: 0px;">May 1, 2015 at 7:07 PM PDT</abbr> Last Updated: <abbr class="updated dtstamp" title="2015-05-2T6:34:39Z" style="border: 0px;">May 1, 2015 at 11:34 PM PDT
</abbr>SEATTLE -- Police say black-clad May Day marchers hurled wrenches and rocks at officers and hit police with sticks as a Friday evening march through Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood turned violent, injuring three officers -- two seriously.
Police responded with pepper spray, pepper balls and flash bang grenades. Officers said several dozen vehicles were damaged. Windows were broken in neighborhood businesses.
Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said one officer had a dislocated shoulder, a second had a broken wrist, and a third had a burn injury to his leg and ankle. They're recovering at Harborview Medical Center.
"Thankfully, they’re all conscious," O'Toole said. "We talked to them. They’re in good spirits. Just happy the situation didn’t become more serious."
The injuries occurred at 7:30 p.m. when officers issued a dispersal order to the group and attempted to clear the street at Broadway and Howell, Seattle police said.
Protesters hurled bottles, rocks, bricks, wrenches, and other projectiles at police, who responded by utilizing pepper spray and pepper balls to break up the increasingly violent crowd, police said. They added protestors also began pushing barricades and trash cans into roadways, and raided a fenced construction site for items they later burned in the street...
Last night while watching the news I noticed that most of the Baltimore arrests were done by the government complex, where many were 'refusing to heed the curfew.' Those being taken into custody were not black, certainly not poor. The reporter said he recognized quite a few from other 'protests' organized by Occupy Wall St.
