Video of the Day: Seattle protesters set fire to federal building

A protest in Seattle turned violent late June 14 when demonstrators set a fire at the entrance to a federal building. The fire followed a largely peaceful day of No Kings demonstrations, protesting the Trump administration and its immigration policies. Surveillance footage showed a motorcyclist carrying a flaming torch and setting a box on fire. Protesters then placed the burning box at the building's entrance, where they ignited a bonfire and launched fireworks. Police moved in shortly after and the crowd dispersed.
