Channel 5 in Seattle had this headline on Sunday afternoon: “Seattle protests remain peaceful after 47 arrested in Saturday ‘riot’.”

In Chicago, on Friday, July 24th, 18 police were injured. During the previous week, 49 Chicago police were injured.

In St. Louis, on Sunday, three officers were wounded when a man opened fire on them.
