Seattle police set up pathetic Designated Protest Zone outside Lumen Field for World Cup

Monday's World Cup debut in Seattle was a smash hit inside Lumen Field (or "Seattle Stadium"), with 66,775 fans packing the building to watch a historic 1-1 draw between Belgium and Egypt.

Outside the gates, though, Seattle managed to steal some attention for all the wrong reasons.

The Seattle Police Department appeared to set up designated "protest zones" around the venue, essentially trying to box demonstrators into tiny fenced-off areas that looked more like dog parks than spaces for public expression.
