Kate Brown activated the use of the state National Guard to help local law enforcement manage the unrest, according to the sheriff&#8217;s office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Protesters in Seattle said they are also trying to make sure the Black Lives Matter movement and other social justice causes remain in the spotlight.
