2 Arrested for Assaulting Officers at Protest

SEATTLE (AP) — Police say they have arrested two men for assaulting officers in connection with a student demonstration in downtown Seattle against the election of Donald Trump to the White House.

Seattle police tweeted Monday afternoon that the men are not students with Seattle Public Schools.

Thousands of middle and high school students walked out of classes Monday for the protest.
