Federal law enforcement is arresting protestors who they suspect are leading the calamity in a major US City, Portland Oregon. It's interesting to watch as Portland's Mayor who has all but created this issue wet his pants in response.

I understand Nancy Pelosi was on twitter losing her ish - asking what kind of country this is.

The hypocrisy of politicians is truly galling.

15 years ago Portland was filled with homeless and junkie punk rocker street kids who looked like they were taken from a dystopian science fiction film. I can only imagine how much worse it is today.

Someone should tell Nancy 'people will do what they do.' She's priceless. Silent for 51 days, and now she is upset?

The protests are getting worse because the feds are there courtesy of Trump. You send the feds to my city and I will protest as well which I have never done before. This is not what our country is all about. We are not run by dictator who sends the military to control us. It's so sad what Trump is doing to us. He is toxic and dangerous. Yes, Trump supporters will argue and disagree with me but just leave it alone. We will never agree.

Only a total fool would blame it on “the feds.” Riots were happening in Portland for TWO MONTHS before Trump appropriately got involved.

Federal law enforcement = military? Which military branch BORTAC federal agents are member of? Army? USMC? Air Force? Navy?

Also, this is not the first time federal government sends federal agents to a state to enforce federal law or federal court order. In 1960 feds government sent US Marshals to Louisiana to enforce court order school desegregation despite strong opposition from Louisiana state governor, state legislature, and most white Louisianans. I am sure you remember picture of a black girl name Ruby Bridges being escort by US Marshals to go to school?

If Obama did the exact same thing Trump did, the left wing lemmings would be praising him.

I finally watched a little of the video, but it seems like the guy videotaping supports the violence and is against the federal officers so I refuse to watch anymore of that garbage. I hope the violence doesn't worsen over the weekend.
