"Pink Umbrella Riot" In Seattle - Mark Taylor-Canfield

Journalist/musician/actor Mark Taylor-Canfield compiled this video and music to memorialize a historic confrontation between police and Seattle protesters demonstrating against the police killing of George Floyd on June 1, 2020. MTC was there to cover the events as a journalist and was tear gassed in Cal Anderson Park near the SPD East Precinct where demonstrators had converged after a peaceful day of protests. The next day, thousands of people showed up again at the same spot on Capitol Hill to express their outrage.


And what caused the "riot" as the SPD called it?


A harmless pink umbrella...


Music: MTC & The Rebel Saints
