The lawsuit names as defendants the Washington State Patrol, Washington State Department of Transportation, Seattle Mayor’s Office and Seattle Police Department.
It alleges the agencies failed to reinstate a policy banning pedestrians from obstructing freeways during protests and wrongly prohibited and removed protesters’ support vehicles, which are sometimes used as protective barricades.
Hilarious. Suing the cops for failing to stop your protest from doing something stupid. Literally 'why didn't you protect me from my own idiocy?'
You just KNOW that if the cops had forced them off the road they would instead be freaking about their rights being violated.
I kind of hope the lawsuit is successful. Maybe then the police will actually consider enforcing laws.

The protest was also about defunding the police. The memes write themselves.
