It was Saturday, March 13, 2021. Protesters gathered in downtown Seattle to mark the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman killed a year earlier by police in Louisville, Kentucky.
A Black female detective was undercover, monitoring the protest for Seattle Police. She noticed two men in an unmarked white truck following her vehicle aggressively, no license plates. Protesters had already called out the men as possible members of the Proud Boys. Concerned, the detective called for backup.
Seattle police swooped in to detain the men in the truck. They were not Proud Boys, it turned out, but undercover officers with the King County Sheriff's Office, also there to monitor the protests.
City police briefly handcuffed and frisked the driver of the truck, King County Detective Cyrus Bowthorpe, who prompted officers to examine the badge in his pants pocket. His supervisor, Sergeant Pat McCurdy, remained in the truck. After a few moments, Seattle Police let both men go.

They were profiling her and they were wrong. She wasn't agressively following them, they were aggressively following her.
