Police in the US city of Seattle clashed with crowds marching in support of anti-racism protests, in one of the most tense of several rallies held across the country on Saturday.
Officers used stun grenades and pepper spray, as protesters set a fire and broke windows. The march was in support of ongoing protests in Portland.
Forty-five people were arrested while 21 officers were injured.
In Austin, Texas one man was killed during a Black Lives Matter march.
Police said initial reports suggested the victim might have been carrying a rifle and approached a vehicle, from where a person shot and killed him. The suspect has been arrested and is co-operating with officers.
The demonstrations have been given renewed energy by violent clashes in Portland between protesters and federal agents deployed by President Donald Trump despite opposition from local and state leaders.

I am starting to think the BLM has morphed into an anti-government protest as well. Trump's modus operandi is hate and chaos.

This has been an anti government insurgency since 2016 - starting with the protests of Trump winning the election, the occupation of the Ice facility in Portland, The beatings of people they believe are Nazi's Fascists, or are conservative, Chaz, the evergreen riots - for the love of God, research the shit going on in the I-5 Corridor, and how far back its been happening. No where in our constitution does it give anyone the right to burn businesses, ruin peoples lives, beat people for having a different political opinion, or murder others because you are pissed at the election result, or angry at the police. Your rights end when they infringe on others. Bottom Line Up Front.

You have a 1st Amendment right to say your piece.
You have a 1st Amendment right to protest.
You have a 1st Amendment right to *peaceably* assemble.
You do not have a right to burn shit or assault officers. That makes you a criminal, not a freedom fighter.
