As Seattle searches its soul a week after yet another May Day night of clashes between protesters and police on Capitol Hill, here are a few more views from the streets via the CHS Flickr Pool. CHS’s report on the actions of protesters and SPD is here and you can find our live reporting of May Day 2015 here. Earlier this week, we reported on charges filed against some of those arrested and criticism of SPD’s heavy-handed response. Following the critical session in front of the Seattle City Council, SPD responded to the criticism with its own timeline of the May Day incidents. The final tallies only tell part of the story: 16 arrested, 10 charged, nine reported police force injuries, windows busted at a QFC, Urban Outfitters, and the Harvard Exit — a night of pepper spray clouds, “blast ball” welts, and incessant helicopter buzz over Capitol Hill.

Last Saturday morning as the few reported broken windows and graffiti tags were still being cleaned up, Mayor Ed Murray met with representatives from the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce and talked about how to bring an end to the cycle of May Day violence in the neighborhood while continuing the history of Pine and Broadway as a place where freedom of speech is protected and often exercised.  “The neighborhood needs to attempt to take this back,” Murray told the group. A week later, it’s not any more clear about how that might happen.
