Seattle radio host Jason Rantz on Tuesday night posted a photo of what is believed to be an attempt to seal the doors of the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct with quick-dry cement.
#Breaking: Seattle rioters used a substance suspected to be concrete to seal shut the door to the East Precinct, the Seattle Police Department has confirmed. At the same time, the rioters tried to set fire to the building. ATF is now involved. https://t.co/NXfkmV4BOE

Activists — and their enablers — routinely say they're peaceful and don't show up for a fight. They claim cops are the instigators… as the criminal agitators bring weapons and quick dry cement to their "peaceful protests." https://t.co/NXfkmV4BOE

As some in the crowd vandalized the building and tormented police, others brought quick-dry cement to seal police officers inside the building.
The criminals at the 12th Avenue entrance reportedly mixed what is suspected to be cement mix and water in a bucket with a wooden stick before applying it to the door. Photos show the criminals also destroyed the electronic key card off the door, presumably to stop people from getting inside the building.
On the East Pine Street side of the East Precinct, the criminals started a fire. The intent appeared to be to burn the building with the officers inside.
Here’s video from KIRO showing a different angle of rioters trying to seal police inside the building and setting it on fire:
Exclusive video shows a coordinated arson attack on SPD’s East Precinct. The door was jammed shut with boards and rebar and they attempted to seal it closed w/quick dry concrete. Cops had to kick the door open to get out, and put out the fire. pic.twitter.com/kw7mWN5ZEL

This is attempted murder. Can there be any question about that? https://t.co/kNwmuNLjLG

NO question, NO doubt on the intent

Will Mayor Durkin & Seattle City Council even acknowledge it?

Thank you for calling it out, for saying it out loud. There is nothing advanced or progressive about these riots. It’s savage and criminal. I don’t care if Seattle burns. But I do care about our LEOs.

Looks like attempted murder and arson to me! This is getting beyond ridiculous ??♂️

And here’s video from a surveillance camera of rioters hurling Molotov cocktails at the Seattle Police Officers Guild office:
Video surveillance shows criminal activists attacked the Seattle Police Officers Guild office with two Molotov cocktails. This happened the same night as other activists attempted to cement officers into a precinct the activists tried to burn down.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Seattle council member cementing the door.

@SeattleCouncil Any response on these acts of domestic terrorism? @cmkshama How about you? @MayorJenny You???

Rantz now says they have a suspect in the attempted arson:
#Breaking: A suspect in the arson against the Seattle police precinct is Desmond David-Pitts. He was going to pursued by the county when… the feds stepped in. He's being investigated of arson at the federal level and being transferred to federal custody. https://t.co/8mvsJMxiCE

It’s truly shocking and disheartening to see just how many people are commenting that “cops aren’t people” and joking that they weren’t really in any danger and could have just used the fire escape. Then it would just be the precinct burning down; no big deal.
