Riot lawsuit - Seattle protestors say equipment costs too much

This is what happens when lawyers sit around and think shite up I guess.
My favorite part is the rioters solution. Stop throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails? No. Stop destroying property? No. Bar the police from doing anything? Yep.

A lawsuit was filed Monday in a federal court in Seattle that claims protesters in the city are essentially being priced out of protesting for civil rights because the protective gear they need to keep them safe from responding police is expensive, a report on Tuesday said.
The Seattle Times reported that the five plaintiffs listed some of the items needed for protection from police munitions during these protests. The list included boots, gloves, helmets and gas masks. The lawsuit claims, according to the report, that protesters who take part in these rallies have to face the possibility of an aggressive police response and “must purchase expensive equipment to be assured that they will be able to protest safely, the indiscriminate use of weapons by SPD implicates equal protection.”.

the plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order that would prohibit the use of force by city police.

Didn’t BLM just raise around a billion dollars?

hopefully the entire police dept in seattle will be defunded 100% and the peaceful protesters can do whatever they want
I really want to watch that reality t.v.

It ALL went to Back The Blue. They are major Democrat donors.

Canada doesn't want them either.

Police should just line up in front of stores and property, and let the “protesters” do as they wish to each other. They’ll run out of steam and drugs eventually.
I’m not a fan of rioters, I mean protesters, or police that use rubber bullets against them for non compliance.

If they aren't looting and rioting, then the police don't need to take any action other than stand there and watch. Just don't block the roads.

I bet they are pissed people have locks on their doors instead of letting them just come inside and steal anything they choose.

I think it’s ActBlue. Back the Blue would seem counterproductive for their defund movement.

I would think this would be tossed out as a frivolous lawsuit and then I remember it is in the 9th Circus.

It's not stealing! It's forced donations!

They should use their white privilege to purchase these items for protestors of color.
