I was arrested by Seattle PD after driving and handing out water bottles in a Black Lives Matter march. The police report said that I was "handing out shields to rioters." I NEVER "HANDED OUT SHIELDS" to anybody and I have no idea where people who have shields get them from.

@EylonALevy This is not correct, virtually all of the alt-right media here in Seattle refer to the anti-Israel protests as "antisemitic" (including the protests that are run by Jewish groups). You may not agree with those alt-right figures but it's certainly false that "nobody" says it.
