Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
In the early hours of July 15, after a night spent protesting at the Multnomah County Justice Center and Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse, Mark Pettibone and his friend Conner O’Shea decided to head home.

It had been a calm night compared to most protesting downtown. By 2 a.m. law enforcement hadn’t used any tear gas and, with only a few exceptions, both the Portland Police Bureau and federal law enforcement officers had stayed out of sight.

I would like to know what the 'normal' people of Seattle think about these evens-
their opinion of the demonstrators, the feds...
 
I have no connections in Seattle, so I can't help you out there, but when the city of Chaz and then Chop was formed, they weren't happy and filed many lawsuits against the mayor and the governor.

I'll bet there are hundreds of lawsuits filed in these cities against the mayors and governors. Taxes are going to go up in those states. Not to mention having to pay for all of the damages, injuries and killings. States don't carry all that much insurance, so the taxpayers will have to dig deep.
 

The article seems to imply, without actually saying so, that there is something unusual or improper about law enforcement using unmarked vehicles. But, no, it is neither unusual nor improper.

I also note that the word "riot" does not appear in the article. It is always "protestors," as if all the violence and property damage and arson are included in the First Amendment's "right of the people peaceably to assemble."

I was listening to the World News and a journalist from Portland was interviewed. It was suggested that Portland had been a hippy type of place. She said that it was known for its activism. She also said that the 'Feds' had made the situation worse. In the news today it was said that President Trump is not prepared to have the 'Feds' retreat as they are there to protect Government buildings despite the Mayor of Portland having called for them to leave. :unsure:
 
And these so-called law-enforcement officers, and their leader, are fascists.

Jerry old, to answer your question, I've seen the regular, normal people of Portland, and their mayor, interviewed. They are, of course, not supporting violence or anarchy. And they are very definitely not supporting the appearance of quasi-military "federal police" troops, answerable to nobody, with some kind of vague leadership, in a perfect imitation of the government of some third world hellhole.

This is what the nitwits of Mayors in Seattle, Portland, Chicago and New York are claiming. "Our protesters are peaceably assembling."

I would like to tell them, "Hey Morons: Peaceful protesters do not cause destruction by breaking large glass windows and loot, plus; throw frozen water bottles, bricks, sling shot ball bearings at police. They also do not kill little children." How are they able to explain that away?

I think if anything that really upsets cops are these out of control mobs that kill little children. As far as I am concerned, they could chain them around their ankles and drag them down Michigan Avenue.

Portland has been under siege for over 50 days and long before Federal officials arrived. Up to about midnight, protesting has been peaceful. After that, the radical mob takes over. It’s been proven that many objects have been hurled at police, including; soda bottles loaded with urine and feces, Molotov cocktails, rocks and ball bearings. They have also broken glass store fronts and looted. Enough is enough.

There are right ways and wrong ways to bring about change. "We have now seen the WRONG way."
 
I dun no, always thought the Northwest was made up of sedate folks.
Seems they've become peculiar and ornery.

Haven't read their water supply is making folks crazy, if so, it does not appear the entire population has gone goofy. Maybe they only have 'crazy water' in one section of the city.

I don't know much, but I know if your trying to restructure a society your going to
need decades and the best intellect this nation can produce; somehow I don't think
any of the 'peculiar groups' raising hell are equipped for the task.

What Sunny says!!!!
 
My brother his wife and all his children and their children live in Seattle, Wa. They HATE the protestors, looters or whatever labels you want to give these people. The damage they do and have done, the killings, and the fact that their streets are being use as bathrooms. Not to mention having to stay inside as they fear for their safety from them and the virus.

I have not yet asked my brother how he feels about the feds coming in, but I know my brother. A true republican and supporter of the current policies (he’s never been too bright IMO). Pretty sure he hopes the Feds have real bullets and good aim. He is a strict law and order guy, and like most of our family, he is a veteran.

Law enforcement officers are NOT fascists!
What happens when your house gets broken into, you call 911 and a social worker wants to know the intruder's "feelings"?

And American citizens voicing legitimate protests against police brutality are not "anarchists," Gaer.

If my house ever gets broken into, I would call 911 and would hope and pray that the local police force would respond appropriately. I would not expect a goon squad with some vague "federal" credentials to crash their way in, like an armed enemy force.

This picture was taken Monday in Portland. Portland. Oregon. In the United States.

Sunny, once again your ability to miss the point is both predictable - and frightening.
Those armed patrols that you picture HAVE to be there because of the violence, rapes, looting and destruction being perpetrated by your "peaceful" friends.
I fear for society when folks like you, who mean well and I am sure would offer me tea or cookies, are in favor of violence, rapes, looting and destruction as long as it is being done by people you approve of.
As far as you making sport of the 911 calls being answered by social workers - that is what is recommened in Seattle and Portland by the Marxist leaders. Good luck with that. Hopefully you live in a safe area. When you need police and they can't come to help you - remember it is what YOU wanted.
 
I have no idea who the personnel attempting to curtain the demonstrators are, or what agency ordered them to this site. I do know given the choice they would be elsewhere.

Raising hell with ‘hired hands’ resolves nothing; the protestors quarrel is further up the hierarchy.

When there is tear gas, rubber bullets and clubs banished, it is time to vacate.
If you do not, be prepared for the consequences.
