Seattle police reported at least 23 arrests on Saturday at Cal Anderson Park during MayDayUSA's "Don't Mess With Our Kids" rally—and the pro-LGBTQ counter-protest. According to the Seattle Times, "Roughly 500 people attended the prayer rally" and "about as many turned out in protest."

Police ordered the LGBTQ counter-protesters to "back away from officers and to stop throwing items at officers," but instead, fighting broke out.

The Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) said on X Saturday night that they don't have "the proper staffing to handle any more of these demonstrations that turn into mass arrests."

They also warned that "this city lacks the political will to allow police to use the necessary tools to hold back criminal mobs to protect life and property."

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said in a statement that the city "is proud of our reputation as a welcoming, inclusive city for LGBTQ+ communities, and we stand with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice."

"Today's far-right rally was held here for this very reason—to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city's values, in the heart of Seattle's most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood."

Why, yes, that was a provocative location for a MayDayUSA rally—and entirely the city's fault.

According to MayDayUSA's Folake Kellogg, a Wenatchee-based pastor, the group applied to hold their event at Victor Steinbrueck Park, but the city denied that permit. Instead, Seattle Parks and Recreation required MayDayUSA to hold their rally at Cal Anderson in "the heart of ANTIFA land," as SPOG put it.
