Dozens of protesters in Tacoma gathered hours after the attempted murder of several spectators of street racing by a police officer in a cruiser, who had arrived to respond to a report of 1 person hit by a car doing donuts. Evidently, this was an inefficient practice as the police officer hit more than 8 people, and ran over one, causing nearly fatal injuries. 2 people were arrested by police at the demonstration for disorderly conduct.
