gathered in Cal Anderson Park in Seattle (Washington) for a game of 'Antifa soccer'
and hung a sign saying 'housing is the cure.' The game took place in the same
location of a large 'sweep' of homeless people, which had taken place two days
prior and resulted in 24 arrests as demonstrators opposed police. The group was
approached by police and told to leave the park, which is officially closed
following the sweep. Members of the group yelled that police were profiling the
demonstrators because of their black dress and claimed that others were allowed to
use the park freely. After one of the demonstrators spit on an officer, officers
used pepper spray on the crowd and the individual was arrested for assaulting a
police officer. 6 other people were also arrested for surrounding the arresting
officer and attempting to 'unarrest' the first arrested demonstrator. One other
demonstrator was taken to hospital, possibly due to a medical condition, though
some reports suggested that this person may also have been faking injuries.

Other-Subnational On 30 October 2020, hundreds of people held a vigil in
Vancouver (Washington) in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and against
police brutality, specifically the death of Kevin E. Peterson Jr., who was killed
in a police altercation during the night of 29 October 2020. Some of Peterson's
teachers attended the vigil. The vigil was met with right-wing counter
demonstrators, some with pro-Donald Trump flags, and some armed with firearms. The
counter demonstrators shouted at those who were demonstrating against Peterson's
death. During the demonstrations two shots were fired, though who fired the shots
is unclear and no injuries were reported. The BLM demonstrators then marched
through downtown Vancouver, some breaking windows and burning flags. Police
officers in riot gear prevented them from approaching a federal building and
declared an unlawful assembly. Six demonstrators were arrested for failure to
disperse. [size=hundreds] [counter-demonstration] [armed] 0 1629721175 USA
