They further reported anti-police crowds displayed Antifa messages.

Moreover, the protesters also decried Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) even after President Biden offered a sweeping immigration overhaul last week.

In Tacoma, located 30 miles south of Seattle, at least 150 people gathered at a park.

Then they marched through downtown where windows were shattered and spray paint was tagged on multiple buildings.

Several items were set up to create a barricade in the street where a large trash can was set ablaze.

Protesters wore black bloc attire and some carried flags that read “Antifascist Action.” The crowd also passed by the Pierce County Jail.

While officers were observing the protest, three people appeared to try to get onto the roof of a building downtown. Two were armed with a handgun and knives and were arrested, police said. The third got away.

Meanwhile, the Tacoma Police Department tweeted that that the demonstration had broken up.

It further said of clearing of the roadways by 11 p.m. local time.

The protesters came a day after a video widely circulated online showed a Tacoma police car drive into a crowd gathering in an intersection on Saturday, appearing to run over at least one person.
