Well I figured it was just a matter of time until this government turned to grabbing people off the street as a terror tactic. Now it looks like it has begun... in Portand.

Federal Officers Use Unmarked Vehicles To Grab Protesters Off Portland Streets

Quote:
Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off.
So much for the Constitution. Looks like I'll have to be extra careful on my walks now.

Yeah, don't wear black in Portland. Disgusting disrespect for the Constitution. But there are too many who would not care if we shredded the whole thing except the 2nd amendment.

“It’s time that we take a stand; it’s time that local leaders here publicly condemn what violent anarchists are doing. Only then, will local police, federal police get this under control,” Wolf said in an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News from Downtown Portland. “Earlier this week, I called the mayor and governor. I offered DHS support to locally address the situation in Portland, their only response was, ‘please pack up and go home.’ That’s just not going to happen on my watch.

Isn't the DHS allowed to protect us from domestic terrorism ? That is what they are doing since the politicians won't allow the police to do their jobs.

Well, they hate it when illegal aliens are grabbed off the streets as well, so this is expected. The left loves the criminal element.

This sort of thing really a precedent you want to set for the next president you don’t support coming into power? Zero respect for states’ rights and flagrant violation of the 10th amendment.

Not sure what you're complaining about, I admire their restraint in not shooting them all

They are shocked that a government agency is going to enforce the law, it's an alien concept to them
