Hey whats up with the NRA plumb forgetting to rise up against a tyrannical federal gummint?
Not good for the militias rep when they turn chickenshit and run away......
It’s only tyrannical when the opposition doesn’t deserve it.
So tyranny to the other side is ok because they deserve it? The ctrl-lefters feel the same way about tyrannizing conservatives. Tyranny has a way of spreading and being used against everyone. Better to stand up to it early.
Dude. Do you know what the means?
Doh! I missed that. This is me for today
The Guardian doing Guardian things. Buried in the 7th paragraph.
Some in the crowd worked to avoid trouble by stopping demonstrators from lighting fires and shooting fireworks at the courthouse as they had done on previous nights.
So protesters were more effective in stopping the rioters than the Feds?
Federal involvement has given Wheeler and Brown a chance to salvage their credibility with the ctrl-left in Portland.Attacking the federal building is not Black Lives Matter. Leave it alone. You’re playing into Trump’s hands
Why don’t you sit the next couple of plays out...
Yep. And the Portland PD finally decided to start doing something Thur morning, and conicdentally, the violence was apparently tamped down Thur night:
So if the Portland PD had gotten off their arse and done this weeks ago, we wouldn’t have seen the level of violence in the 1st place.Portland police clear parks across from federal courthouse in early-morning sweep
Portland police cleared an entrenched encampment at Lownsdale Square across the street from the federal courthouse in downtown early Thursday at the request of Oregon State Police, who are set to assume control of the scene of nightly protests that have roiled the city.
The Portland Police Bureau said the city park and neighboring Chapman Square, as well as the sidewalks surrounding them, will remain closed.
The sweep will provide city staff with a safe environment to do repairs and “much needed renovation,” said Police Chief Chuck Lovell.
Mayor Ted Wheeler said the move was part of the plan for federal officers to leave the protection of the courthouse to state troopers....
.... The parks have been the staging grounds for nightly clashes with federal officers from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Protective Services and Customs and Border Patrol agents.....

He’s been charged. Facing a mandatory 5 yr minimum, and up to 20 years.

Yep, that was the agreement. The Federal officers would leave town when the local police got things under control and they stayed under control.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 10:34 pmYep.

I should have clarified, its the police leadership (thought I read the mayor was the actual commissioner) who wouldn't let the PD do their job. I'm sure the rank and file weren't happy about how they were being handcuffed..SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 6:45 amYep, that was the agreement.

Just a guess, but assume the local police where "happy" to do their job. They have been directed to stand down for a LONG time. Very similar to Seattle police...until the mayor's house got a visit from peaceful protestors.

Portland PD came out pretty heavy last night and cleared a group looking to cause shit at a police station. Seriously, this is THE most active I have seen the PPD.
