Screenshot from the wikipedia entry for Riding a rail: Riding the rail (also called being “run out of town on a rail”) was a punishment most prevalent in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries in which an offender was made to straddle a fence rail held on the shoulders of two or more bearers. The subject was then paraded around town or taken to the city limits and dumped by the roadside.

An excerpt from the linked Urbanist article, which reads: "The Seattle Police Department was noteworthy in its violent response to these protests. SPD deployed tear gas in residential neighbors, wreaking havoc on the health of both protesters and people simply living in their homes. SPD also liberally used other less lethal weapons such as blast balls, flash bangs, and pepper spray against peaceful protesters. In fact, the City was held in contempt of court because of continued misuse of these weapons."
