KIRO 7, a nearby channel, reported the Sunday audience put multiple fires and ruined companies throughout the street in the Pierce County courthouse. A reporter in the station posted a video which showed police officers standing before a company which had its windows smashed.
The channel said that the episode on Saturday night included a bunch of folks who surrounded the police car and began to pound on the window.
The report, citing Tacoma authorities, said the officer involved was a 29-year veteran that has been placed on administrative leave. Tacoma police spokeswoman Wendy Haddow told the News Tribune the workplace was”afraid they’d split his glass.”
The KIRO report stated that it’s thought that at least one individual was struck from the vehicle and two people had been taken to a local hospital using non-life-threatening accidents.
Another video seemed to show demonstrators blocking off city roads with blockades.
