| In 1979, Seattle police confront crowds of mostly young people, who pelt them with bottles and rocks, during the third annual Fat Tuesday festival in Pioneer Square. The melees result in dozens of injured officers and spectators, and in charges of police brutality. Some officials urge the city to end support for the festival, but it continues. (In 2001, a 20-year-old Kent man dies after a beating during Fat Tuesday in Pioneer Square.) |
