Liberals protesting capitalism rioted and showed once again reminded me of the occupy wall street punks
A May Day protest in downtown Seattle turned violent Wednesday night, with police saying they resorted to pepper spray to disperse demonstrators who pelted them with whatever was at hand.
Seattle Police said the crowd tossed rocks, bottles, metal pipes, fireworks -- and even a skateboard.
The clashes left eight officers with injuries, and police said they arrested 17 people, on various offenses including property destruction and assault.
The injured officers suffered mostly bumps and bruises with the exception. One officer, however, was struck in the knee by a fist-sized rock, Seattle Police said.

Other demonstrators ran through the fog created by tear gas wearing masks and holding protests signs.
A woman who was driving by the protest scene was wounded, slashed by glass, when a protester hurled a glass bottle at her car, shattering her window, police said. She was treated by a medic at the scene.
"Things have quieted down for the night. Officers will continue to patrol ," the department tweeted early Thursday morning.
The clashes came after a day of peaceful marches in the city, CNN affiliate KING (http://www.king5.com/) reported.
Hundreds of thousands of people across the globe take to the streets on May 1 to demand better working conditions during what is known as International Workers' Day.
