Police raid Occupy Seattle, tear gas reported used on demonstrators

The Occupy Seattle is marching, and police have responded in force, according to multiple eyewitness accounts. The Occupy Seattle account tweets, “Pepper spray has been deployed against protesters including a priest and a blind woman.” One participant tweets, “They maced a pregnant woman, a kid, a priest, and a blind woman w/ a fucking cane!” Here’s a woman recovering from being sprayed. Watch a live stream here. But: the Seattle City Council just passed a resolution supporting the Occupy movement. I am confused.
