(KIRO-7)

The numerous protests against police brutality and systemic racism happening around America have led to an onslaught of disturbing, violent videos going viral over the weekend, but at least one protest video has garnered a chuckle from internet users.

While covering the protests in Seattle, Washington, KIRO-7 news cameras captured a woman in a mask walking through the streets with an immaculate cheesecake. One may assume the woman was a protestor who had looted the nearby Cheesecake Factory and walked away for a delicious treat, but what makes the footage particularly special is the news anchor analyzing the scene on-air, who says, "You see someone walking away with a cheesecake there, after the Cheesecake Factory had been looted. Unclear where they may have gotten that."


While the anchor was likely doing her due diligence as a reporter by not claiming the woman had stolen the cheesecake with only circumstantial evidence, Twitter users joked the anchor was supporting the protestor by "not snitching" on her.



Others were delighted by the protestor's apparent priorities amidst the looting of urban stores all across the country. While the looting taking place has divided onlookers who are otherwise sympathetic to the protests, most seemed to celebrate the apparent cheesecake looter.





Here's hoping that should the protests continue, the videos which circulate are more like this instead of the numerous, much more violent videos which are going viral on social media.

Theres really no way to win these things. Outsiders can't be the ones to yell at these fuckers. It has to be from within the movement for there to be an impact. And the movement is either glossing over them, or actively encouraging them. So it ends up just being a cycle of crime where people start doing it more and more to spite.
