With a number of planned weekend events in Seattle, Mayor Jenny Durkan, Police Chief Carmen Best, and Fire Chief Harold Scoggins held a briefing Friday morning.

Durkan said the destruction and violence seen in Seattle on Sunday and Wednesday should not continue. She does recognize these actions are coming from a small group of individuals, and that most people have been peacefully protesting.

Durkan also addressed the federal government’s confirmation that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sent a limited number of agents to Seattle on standby to protect federal buildings.

Residents should continue to peacefully demonstrate and make their voices heard despite any potential threats of action from the federal government, Durkan said, warning that further violence and destruction could be used as “fodder” to show that there is a need for federal help.

2. Bring Cameras

Document the lawbreakers—both the violent interlopers hiding among peaceful protestors as well as the federal brownshirts.

I think we’ll find, in many cases, they are one an the same. And that’s what the world should see, not the b-roll of goons cracking skulls for Trump campaign commercials.

3. Will the Judges orders in Oregon

Follow these GOONS in Seattle? Or will ANOTHER court appearance be needed in every city they invade?

4. Right wing agent provocateurs have other ideas.

There will be a few dozen people dressed in black with backpacks filled with commercial grade fireworks present. When they receive the 'GO' signal on their cell phones, it will look like the crowd is attacking the police. They will abandon their fireworks on the sidewalk for other thrill seekers to pick up and then melt away into the night.

Tomorrow's head lines are "Protests turn violent in Seattle "

5. Exactly! Rt! Gov Inslee
