• Karaoke joint vandal: Rock Box is looking for help finding the suspect who did $20,000 in damage to the E Pine karaoke joint’s window early Saturday morning. Broadway Building management says the vandalism took place around 6 AM Saturday. If you have information, give the East Precinct a call at 206-625-5011 or let Rock Box know.
• Protest incidents: While a few higher profile demonstration-related incidents have made the news, there have been some unreported smaller East Precinct protest police activities to note:
  • Thursday, June 19: Police say they caught a vandal defacing the East Precinct red handed in an early morning bust last week. SPD reports an officer was arriving back at the precinct just after 2 AM “and noticed an individual that appeared to be defacing the East Precinct.” “The officer broadcast the contact and called for a backing officer,” SPD reports. T”he individual was writing on the exterior of the precinct.” Police say the suspect was placed under arrest and booked into jail for investigation of property destruction.
  • Wednesday, June 18th: Police say they made no arrests as demonstrators targeted a Microsoft event on the Seattle U campus last Wednesday afternoon: At 1335 hours, 15 protestors were disrupting a Microsoft event inside an auditorium on the Seattle University Campus. They were using devices to amplify sound and were refused to leave. Officers arrived on scene and administered trespass warnings to all participants. They then marched out of the auditorium and onto a public sidewalk where they continued to protest. They left behind noise making devices that were attached to helium balloons, which continued to disrupt the event.
    Police say no arrests were made and the noise makers were removed from the property.
  • Pride in the Park investigation: Police investigated an incident during the Pride in the Park celebration earlier this month involving a man who has made himself a regular presence at area events. The SPD report on the incident is extremely generous in its account of the man’s efforts:
    At 1730 hours, police received a 911 call reporting that a group was assaulting an individual within Volunteer Park in the 1400 block of E Prospect St. The park was hosting a permitted event. Officers contacted the male victim who declined to cooperate with the assault investigation, which is on-going. The victim was there exercising his first amendment rights at the event. At the time of contact, the male was surrounded by several antagonistic event goers.
    Police cordoned off an area for the man to continue his activities:
    Police implemented the time, place, manner restriction due to the public safety concern for the victim and to allow all parties to freely and safely express themselves. A designated protest zone for the male was established. Initially there was resilience from the male to comply as he attempted to reenter the event, and he appeared to understand the safety hazard he was creating by asking for a police escort into the event. The male had already been assaulted multiple times therefore was detained by officers for his safety. He was soon released to the protest zone where he remained until the end of the event. 
    SPD says officers investigated the assault and property destruction claims but no arrests were made.
