Video shows officer’s bashing out windows, and arresting group who feeds the needy

KENOSHA- A group of volunteers, who work for “Riot Kitchen”, which is a Seattle based non-profit organization that feeds demonstrators, had the windows smashed out of their van, and were arrested by federal agents in unmarked vehicles.

I had actually posted the viral video early Saturday, on my Instagram account, not knowing the real back story.

According to the organizations Twitter account, the FEDS arrested several of their members, as they were getting gas for their generator, which they use to cook food.

The organization tweeted “Riot Kitchen HQ just learned that our bus crew was arrested in broad daylight in #Kenosha today – kidnapped by feds in unmarked vans. We are currently trying to find our friends who were just there to feed people. Please share and donate for bail via Venmo riotkitchen206.”
