Raising hell after grand-jury ruling

Protests from LA to NYC

Protests hit cities from coast to coast in the wake of the Breonna Taylor grand-jury decision Wednesday, sometimes veering into violent clashes with police.

In Seattle, a brute slammed a baseball bat over a bike cop’s helmeted head, cracking the headgear, according to local authorities.

That suspect wasn’t immediately nabbed, but at least 13 other demonstrators were, officials said.

Separately in the Emerald City, a cop was caught on camera walking a bicycle over the head of a protester lying prone in the street, a move that the local sheriff’s office is now probing with an eye towards possible criminal charges, according to The Seattle Times.

In Portland, Ore., police declared a riot after demonstrators hurled rocks, bottles, fireworks and a Molotov cocktail at cops, leading to several arrests, local authorities said.

Farther down the West Coast in Los Angeles, agitators — some wearing outlandish Halloween masks — were mostly nonviolent but were caught on camera trying to bait officers into confrontations with vulgar taunts, video shows.

Across the country, a Tampa Bay Times reporter in St. Petersburg, Fla., recorded demonstrators harassing outdoor restaurant patrons, including one who called a female diner a “wild Karen in her natural f--king habitat” and threatened, “I ought to knock your old-ass boyfriend the f--k out.”

In New York, hundreds of protesters packed the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn — at one point blocking traffic on the Manhattan Bridge — but no arrests were reported.

Demonstrations were also held in San Diego, Denver, Atlanta and Philadelphia.
