Central American Terror Tactic comes to Portland (CNN, March, Seattle)

Interesting that the 2nd amendment group on here is okay with unmarked federal officers arresting people off the streets for breaking no federal laws. Those same people used to talk about federal officers, and FEMA camps when Obama was in office.

Weird that all the people who swore they’d take up arms against government tyranny seem pretty chill about Trump's secret police snatching up people in Portland.

General Russell Honore is clear that they should be wearing police uniforms with badges and identification not military camo.

I have friends who are in law enforcement, and several who are retired. Theres a lot of mixed feelings to say the least.

From what I've read, the men who threw the fireworks in the courthouse have been arrested.

Despite the best efforts by Trump's secret police to stir up trouble, Portland is not "burning to the ground."

Neither the mayor or the governor want federal forces there and have told them to leave.

Your law enforcement friends feel it's a good idea to have unidentified men in military camo with rental vans snatching up citizens off the street? Really?

That's the point. Trump had to stir the pot.

It worked. Just saw a tweet that said the crowd of protestors doubled tonight.

Given that the alt-right Proud Boys have been stirring up trouble in Portland for some time, it is reasonable to suspect that they are involved in at least some, if not all, of the vandalism.

When you declare war on America.....

You get what you ask for.

So we should go back to the days of Kent State when the federal troops shot dead a bunch of protesters?
