Irate demonstrators vented their fury on the downtown Tacoma streets on Sunday as it emerged that the Pierce County Force Investigation Team is probing Saturday’s purported police brutality incident, in which two people were hospitalized after being run over by a police vehicle.
The crowd also made its way to Pierce County jail where a number of participants in Saturday night’s alleged street race are being held following their arrest.
“No cops, no prison, total abolition!” the demonstrators chanted.
Windows were shattered, offensive graffiti sprayed over building facades and assorted debris and dumpsters were lit on fire to form a burning barricade in the street, as the stand-off intensified.
