Mostly peaceful protesters were at it again over Labor Weekend in Seattle. 

They were mostly unarmed. 

Except for the occasional Molotov Cocktail. 

From local KIRO 7 in Washington:

Twenty-two protesters were arrested on Labor Day for arson, assault, obstruction and failure to disperse after a large crowd marched from the International District to the Seattle Police Officers Guild building in SODO, police said.

A large crowd had gathered at Fourth Avenue South and blocked the northbound and southbound lanes at South Lander Street, the Seattle Department of Transportation reported.

Police said they arrested a number of rioters outside of the police union building because they refused to disperse after throwing rocks, bottles and homemade explosives at police.

When the crowd moved north on Fourth Avenue South, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at officers, authorities said. It reportedly exploded on the road. No one was injured."
