The Seattle police were accused of macing a 7-year-old boy at a Black Lives Matter protest. The protester who filmed the aftermath was held in jail for 2 days a week later
that around the time he shot his video, roughly 50 people were "facing off against the cops" at about 3 p.m. during a peaceful protest at Seattle's Westlake Park.
"I would say that you were targeting my boy," Avery told The Guardian, addressing the police. He said he didn't know whether the police "were trying to set an example and strike fear" into his son but was most upset that no officers or medical technicians stepped in to help. According to Komo News, Hreha's video caused 11,000 complaints to be filed to Seattle's Office of Police Accountability.
On June 7, Hreha attended another protest, where he told The Guardian he helped hand out free hot dogs to demonstrators.
