Tweeting movements of police for protest safety. Stay informed and know who you're marching with.

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

If anybody has reliable, on the ground, information concerning the protests and police activity please do not hesitate to DM me with it. #SeattleRiot #SeattlePolice

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

@spdtac3 Also has reliable information and has been working hard!

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

As we're on the ground and need to attend to our own matters this account will be inactive until tomorrow. Please go to @DylanInSeattle , their work has been consistent and reliable. Stay safe and look after eachother! #seattleprotests

@Todd_Bonzales We've previously stated that we use these specific hashtags to gather as much attention as possible, but after talking with other scanners we're going to reevaluate how we advertise our work. Thank you for keeping us accountable.

The 12th and Pine line is being reinforced and seems to be in place for the long haul. Make use of the resources being given out around Cal Anderson, take care of yourselves. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

I'm aware of the gathering at the bus depot. Hearing that police are telling protestors to leave the area, despite the peaceful nature of the demonstration. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

CORRECTION: Thank you for pointing out the error. If anybody else has a correction please let it be known.

A general note: I know its getting warmer this week but please try to cover as much of your skin, face, and eyes as possible. When dispersal methods are used any amount of harm reduction is valuable. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

Police are discussing logistics of gas on radio. While this does not mean they plan to deploy anytime soon, it does mean they are ready to. Stay vigilant. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

I now have multiple people informing me of an uptick of truck traffic, specifically silverados, around Pine and circling the protests. This is often an indication of Proud Boy activity. As many are saying on the streets, "keep it slow keep it tight". #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

@KB_PhotoFL I've heard they are using yellow bandanas and are staying on the outskirts of the protests. Again, this is not a definative description, rather a starting point.

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

I've heard from several people that proud boys have been spotted on Pine. While it's impossible to know for sure, keep an eye out for any suspicious bandanas or agitators. Police are aware of the line's movement and are mobilizing. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

Seeing a line of movement across the front line at Pine, supplies are also being organized to follow. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

Will be monitoring the seattle protests starting now. Some of us are on the ground and others are busy, we are not at full capacity. Please use multiple sources as often as possible. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

2 cars at an unknown location, leaving as protesters grow closer. Police fear damage to their vehicles. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

2 patrol cars on their way to S Othello St & Martin Luther King Jr Way S. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

Crowd at 11th and Pine seems to have thinned out significantly. Keep in mind that gas and flash grenades can happen at any time, don't let your guard down. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

We've been actively monitoring this situation for 10 hours, honestly it's extremely tiring. I encourage other scanners to please advertise their accounts in this thread for when we simply don't have the energy to go on. We will keep tweeting for as long as we can. #seattleprotest

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

@Omarisal has been invited to talk with the chief of police. He is currently behind police lines on his way to the meeting. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

Hearing word about the 11th and Pine line having several people break off to other locations. Please be aware that smaller groups are more likely to be cornered and targeted by police. #seattleprotest #seattleriot

[SeattleScanner @ScannerSeattle]

Fresh batch of police are at the 11th Line. Still no gas or spray that I can see. If you are ever near a gas canister do not touch it with your bare hands, you will be seriously burnt. #seattleprotest #seattleriot
