have zero issues with federal agencies protecting federal property. However, I have a SERIOUS problem with citizens being taken into custody by an unidentifiable entity and taken away and others being told if they follow them they will be shot. Anyone OK with this needs to have a deep thought regarding the situation.


Precisely my thoughts.

This should not be a partisan issue.

The fact that you used the word “protest” to describe where the feds are involved tells me one of two things:

1) You are not really a conservative but coming in with a concern troll

Or

2) You’re ignorant and not paying attention to what is going on.

With all that said, I don’t like the involvement of federal law enforcement when not requested by the states.


They are there protecting federal property and arresting those who damaged federal property.

I’m still not convinced that this wasn’t a red flag setup. Those dudes rode up in their moms minivan wearing tactic-cool camouflage, didn’t cuff the perp, and there wasn’t much of a struggle. All this happening as soon as the msm start pushing the secret police/stormtrooper narrative.

Nah it happened DHS already said it happened and it was them. Although they denied the claims by some that the officers didn't identify themselves or that the suspects were not marandized. Neither of which was required to be done on the street for the idiots filming.

Completely irrelevant. Personal vs professional feelings must be removed from evaluating any politician’s decisions.

Anyone who thinks that allowing “protesters” to continue this criminal behavior in the name of “justice” are themselves a threat to American justice.

Beating on this guy

Seems pretty unnecessary too. The video is too short to know exactly why they would've done that though.

Most of this board would be freaking out if Obama did the same thing. I was a lib during Bush/Cheney and would have been whining about this. If the feds have really good evidence on these guys before they are doing the sweeps, I hope that comes out in the wash. I understand the local forces aren't doing anything, but I hope there are real ties to federal property or laws that justify this.

That's the problem its a video with no context before the strikes happen. My guess is he was told to move back several times and refused. He continued to be defiant through the strikes until he was sprayed. Maybe he was peaceful leading up to this, maybe he wasn't no one knows. But he is in the middle of a violent riot facing off with LE. Don't really care that he got a couple whacks with the baton and some OC. He'll live he was able to walk away and give the double salute so less than lethal worked.

Once they start damaging public or private property they are no longer protesters they are criminals.

Once they start sieving private or public property and or denying the lawful use by citizens they are criminals.


Once the start declaring anarchy, they are insurrectionists.


The federal government not only has a right but more importantly has an obligation to enforce federal laws and protect the civil rights of citizens not doing the above mentioned.


I am disappointed in took this long.

Holy shite. So, you really are just delusional as they come, right?

Are you really insinuating that ANTIFA is a right wing conspiracy made up to rouse the base? And they haven't been beating innocent people in the streets of Portland for years?

Kork, the world is full of people unable to distinguish “analysis” from “defense.” You seem to have found several of them.

That's the problem. The fricking politicians are pandering too much and won't, so the big boys have to do it.
