Seattle Riot Injures 8 Police Officers

Eight Seattle police officers were injured, on Wednesday when a May Day parade turned violent. Seventeen people were arrested by police.

Anarchists and members of Occupy Seattle joined together in an attack upon police. Rocks, bottles, metal pipes, and fireworks were used against officers who retaliated with tear gas.

Some protesters came with gas masks so officers resorted to using flash bang grenades to subdue the most unruly of the mob.

A woman who had been driving by the area was injured when a protester smashed her window, with a glass bottle. The woman was treated by a medic at the scene, for cuts from the broken glass.
