    Except for the fact, it isn't just the "brats" who have been beat, tear gassed and fired at with rubber bullets as many innocent protester have been harmed which is illegal and against the law to do to innocent protesters.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I agree that it's not as bad. But it seems pretty similar conceptually. We can agree to disagree.

    I dont like them here at all but someone got to protect federal property if the City and State wont.
    If the anarchist would stop that shit they feds would leave, but thats not what they want.
    Its the Mayors city and he's done nothing to address it, at least let the Portland Police do their job and weed out the vandals from the legit protestors.

    You'd think Trump could get behind this. Burn it down. Build it up. Burn it down. Build it up. So much construction!

    I know DHS brought more agents in from other locations, but a lot of them live here and work here. Other than top leaders, they're mostly career Federal Marshals, border agents, etc. They worked for Obama three and a half years ago. Hopefully, they're working for Biden after Jan. 20th.

    My point is, bringing the trump thugs in hasn't quited anything and has only escalated it more.

    True, but if the vandals would stop it’s over.
    The anarchist have always wanted a fight with US government its their goal.

    Oh come on, Trump's cheat sheet isn't that long. It would take a miracle for him to read all the way to the end of the list, anyhow.

    Okay, fine, arrest the thugs and let the peaceful protestors and the PRESS alone. Why can't they do that with all their observers and cameras and drones with cameras? They do it in Asia and in Europe but not here? What gives?

    Why? So she can do another backroom deal to NOT eliminate qualified immunity while only cutting 2 million from the 278 million police budget?

    I have access to her, Chloe, Ted, Teressa, and Sarah...

    The only one ACTUALLY doing something is Teressa Raiford.
    She is the organizer for thewallofmoms.com.

    I encourage you to join the write in campaign for Teressa.

    This "wall of moms" do we know if they are really moms?

    If they are really moms where are their children?

    And if they are really moms where are the dads? Why have these fake moms driven away the men in their lives?

    How many of these moms have had abortions?

    Who are the corporations that are really behind these fake moms?

    What is their real agenda besides the fake one they've posted online?

    Just asking the important questions for ABM!

    No, the mayor won't allow the police to go after the protestors. They know how to distinguish between the rioters and the protestors so why don't they do it? Beating people indiscriminately with batons is not the way nor is shooting rubber bullets into a crowd. Singling out the rioters using observers, cameras and drones with cameras is the way to do it.

    The mayor has decided that going after petty mischief such as grafiti will only aggravate the situation. Do you think that's wrong?

    agree, but its not the Feds job to go after any of them but it is the Portland Mayors job to do as you say and surgically go after the ones causing all the trouble, he could but he wont.
    My neighbor is a Portland motorcycle cop 25 years, and he says the Mayor could give the green light at any time to get after the anarchist, as he calls them. It starts with City leadership when things are out of control, I dont see it.

    As you have said, they know how to differentiate the thugs from the peaceful protestors. Just cant let them do as they have been. Id call a curfew at a certain time and warn those that dont respect it they could be arrested.

    They've been beating, shooting and detaining illegally peaceful protestors so what gives with that? Of course, that's mostly the doing of Trump's thugs.
