Just a beautiful summer day in a beautiful city.
Why do you seemingly go out of your way to appear uninformed? Andy Ngo reported they started fire outside the Portland police union hall and then broke in and started fire inside.

Too many words for you to understand? Try this:

Ngo reported fires.

In addition, fires were reported in Seattle.

So, it seems Trump has a new "no gathering" policy.

He sure knows how to make a bad situation worse.

Having said that there is nothing to back up your story, so its probably propaganda straight from Moscow.

By sending the feds, Trump will be labeled as a gestapo.
They may be able to help speed up the process

Seattle local government officials need to be ousted, taken in handcuffs to Federal prison for cooperating with criminals in terrorizing the citizens.

Is "kidnapper" now something that criminals refer to arresting officers as?

That's adorable. We'll add that to the criminal underclass lexicon.
It's part of Newspeak.

One part of me say good, it's time to take out the trash. The other part says F the people of Seattle. They voted for the scumbag mayor and city council that allowed their city to devolve into savagery and barbarism, I really don't feel a lot of sympathy for them.

Remember 2016 when polls showed Hillary winning? People don't always tell pollsters who they're really going to vote for.

I could be wrong, but haven’t Federal troops usually come at the behest of the local governments? An exception would be natural disaster, riots (1960-70s style), civil rights era “federalizing” of national Guard. These episodes don’t seem to be anything like those.

The Feds should occupy every leftist city and throw them all in prison for treason.

The whole Seattle area has an unsafe feeling these days, not just the rioting and looting, but an increase in shootings, arson fires etc.
The hatred towards the police turns my stomach. Anytime I have interacted with SPD officers they have been friendly and professional. Maybe that is because I did not spit on them and scream "Die!" Funny how that works out, I am guessing the police haters have not tried the friendly approach yet. Those "Love trumps Hate" signs must have some fine print.
Seattle is a liberal city but there are a lot of residents here who don't even bother voting , the choice is usually left vs. far left. Centrists, independents and conservatives feel disenfranchised, silent and possibly even a majority if you include the suburbs.
I welcome the Federal Police to Seattle and so do many others here, especially the businesses that have been hit over and over again by the Pigs (and I do not mean the police).
