What were they hoping to accomplish by doing this? If their goal was to ensure this car continued to block traffic, I think they achieved their goal.


Over the weekend, protestors shut down parts of downtown Seattle to protest the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and while dealing with the crowd, police officers were filmed slashing the tires of one minivan even as the driver was following the officer's orders of moving their car. 



"Isn't this counterintuitive to make the protesters leave? Now you gotta wait for 60 tow trucks." This comment from Reddit pretty much sums up the entire situation.  


Cops are trying to disperse the protestors and one way to ensure they leave is by slashing their tires. How does that make sense? Oh right, it doesn't.
