ELECTION 2020

[Rootilda]

If those asshole "federal" cops or mercenaries or whatever they are hadn't come into Portland, the crowds would have lessened and eventually ceased altogether. That was already happening until Trump's Troopers showed up and got everyone riled up again. And I *might* agree with you about tear gas to quell the violence but they were using it on peaceful protesters as well. You saw the video of the Navy vet that just stood there as he was beaten with a baton and then heavily pepper sprayed in the face. There was no need to do either of those to him. One young man that was merely standing there, quite a distance from the federal building under "protection" was shot in the face by a non-lethal round and suffered a skull fracture. People have lost eyes from these fools shooting off rubber bullets indiscriminately into crowds of protesters... not rioters. Another was shot in the eye THROUGH a gas mask and he sure as hell wasn't a rioter, he's a journalist from BBC.

""I had a helmet on. I had a flak jacket on. As soon as I exposed something that was vulnerable, which was my face, they shot me," Jennings said."
