sniper

Either the Seattle Police Department, or the Federal Department of Homeland Security, positioned a .308 caliber AR-10 type rifle, with a long range sighting scope, on top of the King County Administration Building. The police sniper had a wide view of both the "Liberty or Death 2" rally, which had a permit from the city, and the mostly Marxist/Communist/Antifa counter protesters. The mostly Marxist/Socialist/Communist counter protesters were corralled at the southwest corner of 4th Avenue and Cherry Street, with an extensive cordon of Seattle Police officers surrounding them on all sides.
