re: Anyone else really not liking the feds involvement in protest

I think the phrase you are looking for is "arresting criminals".

He keeps throwing around terms and phrases like “innocent protestors”, “being kidnapped” and “no probable cause,” and yet he has no basis for saying that. He has no clue if the feds have previously identified perpetrators of crimes in the riots, and are arresting them when out past curfew. He posted a 10 second video of someone getting beaten by a baton and pepper sprayed without evidencing or seeming to know any context about what happened leading up to that (for example, if the subject was beyond a point he was not supposed to be in proximity to a federal building under protection, and he refused to move).

More dishonesty. They are not innocent.

Clearly - or they would not be getting picked up.

---

If they were not innocent, why were they released without charge?

quote:

I’ve never been detained by federal agents.

If you keep supporting aggressive intimidation tactics by federal agents against American citizens, you might get your chance one day.

quote:

Keep lying; keep getting called on it.

Where's the lie?

Did you buy some merch to help your boy out?

quote:

---

The Sacramento cell of antifa, part of a network of violent militant antifa groups in US, has created merchandise & propaganda in support of Gage Halupowski. The man is one of the few antifa convicted for assault in Portland. He nearly killed Adam Kelly in an unprovoked beating.

Private property is destroyed every single day of the year all around the country. Can we not make it a habit of sending in the feds?

The problem is, local authorities are either incapable or unwilling to protect their citizens. No matter what flowery bullshite peaceful picture you want to paint, innocent people have been beaten, killed, and had their businesses and livelihoods destroyed. On a daily and nightly basis, countless others have to endure the actions of petulant children illegally blocking public roadways, menacing them and their potential customers, and generally sowing terror in neighborhoods. Mayors, almost exclusively Democratic Mayors, who allow that to continue day after day for weeks on end have completely and utterly failed at the job they were elected to do. If they are incapable of doing the job they should do the right thing and step down. If they will not step down or allow their police chief to do the job they were appointed to do, you're God damned right the feds should step in.

And stop acting like Feds are being sent in to every city or town that has truly peaceful protests. That is disingenuous bullshite and you damn well know it.

This is precisely what they were doing. Investigating, finding them and arresting them.

Why were they released without charge?

quote:

This did not happen. an arrest is not a "kidnapping" you idiot. Just because you don't hear the cop identify himself on the one video floating around doesn't mean they didn't. And they don't have to identify themselves to everyone on the street. They also do not have to Mirandise them immediately. They used unmarked cars because the "protesters" have burned and attacked every marked car that has come in the area.

---

So what's going to happen when some Proud Boys start rolling around in camo tossing people into vans? Why are the feds setting up scenarios for bad shite to happen? If some dudes pull up and try to put me in a van, I'm going to fight for my life, and they would probably end it.

This shite is not ok.

Antifa has been free to do as they please there for years now.

More fascist tactics, invent a boogeyman to rally against.

I’m with Roger however the Feds should pull out all government agencies located in Portland and relocate them to eastern Oregon.

quote:

They were intimidated by federal agents.

Like the IRS does to millions every year..

Where's the outrage?

There are TONS of stories about this man. He has done interviews. Search "captain portland". He is a Navy vet and was absolutely not a threat. He had certainly not done anything to deserve what happened to him.


Unbelievable that people are trying to defend these actions. If that video were from another country, what would you think of the government behind those officers?

Honestly feels like people are protesting about protesting at the moment. Outraged about things to be determined at a later date.

Over 20 million Chinese still live in caves.

784 million Africans can’t get clean drinking water.

Are we honestly still protesting because like 20 people got killed for no cause by police out of 10,000,000 arrests? .000002 %

So police killed a total of 1,000 people (most of which are justified) last year. That many people died yesterday of Covid.

Please insert one of the other 1,000 bigger problems in the US.
