I didn't know they tried looting a bank, no wonder the feds are there.

Bank Robbery. ... In 1934, it became a federal crime to rob any national bank or state member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The law soon expanded to include bank burglary, larceny, and similar crimes, with jurisdiction delegated to the FBI.

Kind of looks like the Feds should have been there back in May, early June.

Federal officers in Portland may have been permanently blinded by lasers, officials say

At least three federal officers in Portland may not recover their vision after earlier this week demonstrators, who have shown up in crowds of over 1,000 for more than 50 consecutive nights, shined lasers in their eyes and threw fireworks at a federal courthouse, officials said.

Federal Protective Service (FPS) Deputy Director of Operations Richard “Kriss” Cline said at a press conference on Tuesday that a crowd of more than 1,000 “rioters” surrounded the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and began removing plywood coverings before attempting to throw objects – some of them incendiary – through the windows at federal officers inside.

“When officers responded to put out these fires, glass bottles were thrown and lasers – which can cause permanent blindness – were shined in their eyes,” Cline said. “We have three officers who currently have eye injuries and they may not recover sight in those eyes from those laser attacks.”

Right, it's the police who are escalating the violence.

When are you all going to stop downplaying this violence and take it seriously? How many more people need to be injured or killed before you realize these goons aren't peaceful protesters who care about police brutality? These people don't give a single shit about BLM, I bet half of them don't even remember George Floyd's name. They are anarchists who just want to harm people and destroy things, and you're all too happy to ignore their violence (oh wait, is blinding someone considered "violent", Bob?). Why is that? Why are you ignoring this violence? Don't tell me you're not, stop with the excuses. Why are you ignoring this violence and pinning the blame on the feds and Trump?

It's time to act like the good people you claim to be.

I am not in support of the violence going on. That being said this is eerily similar to the situation that has been bubbling up for years with minorities and police. You could easily take your quote and remove some words and it would be the same argument that some folks have been pushing at for police reform. As you can see below I only had to change several words and it is one in the same. It is a little jarring. Also I am not saying you TGO are for or against my quote and not trying to misrepresent you in any way I was just noting the similarities in the situations

Right, it's the citizens who are escalating the violence.

Also it should be understood that police brutality is not a Trump specific problem. It has certainly bubbled to its climax while Trump has been president and there could be some cause/effect from him being the president but this is decades of rise and fall of police brutality that has needed reform. I am not a Trump supporter and he has not done himself any favors during all of this IMO but he also is not sole cause of police brutality.

I'm not ignoring police brutality. I think pretty much everyone was on board that what happened to George Floyd was wrong. Changes were already under way at the local, state, and federal level.

But these people in Portland don't care about George Floyd. You don't fight for change by blinding officers and injuring them. Those are the actions of a violent mob, not a group of people seeking change.

I'm on the sides of the crazy liberals when it comes to this... President Trump should just let the local government deal with it since they are the ones that have allowed it to grow to this extent.

Sad thing is Trump will be blamed either way. These lunatic mayors are already pinning the blame on Trump for all of the violence going on in their cities, then when he says "Fine, I'll send in the feds to put it a stop to it" they call him a dictator and refer to the US military and federal law enforcement as Nazis.

I seem to recall 2 years ago these same Democrats were telling us we were traitors if we dared to question a single thing in regards to federal law enforcement investigating the Russian collusion bullshit, and now these Democrats are calling the same law enforcement Nazis.

There is no reasoning with the modern day Democrat party.

Worthless piece of shit mayor of Portland joined the rioters last night. They heckled him most of the night and threw shit at him, when he decided to leave the rioters followed him, screamed in his face, heckled him, threatened him, and threw shit at him and his security detail as he tried to enter a building to leave the lunacy behind.

Oh yeah the mayor also got a front row seat to watch as rioters climbed the fence protecting the federal courthouse and tried to storm the building, tear down the walls, and set it on fire, he then went on to say he saw no reason for feds to use tear gas in response to these violent (is it okay to call setting buildings on fire "violent", Bob?) actions.

But oh yeah, it's the feds who are escalating the violence. Darn those dastardly feds! Sitting inside the courthouse! Doing...nothing.......until those peaceful misunderstood protesters accidentally climbed the fence and started a campfire so some nearby homeless orphans could keep warm.

What a joke.

Still bitter about me saying you weren't very intelligent I see. It's okay, Bob, things will look up tomorrow.

Someone asked the worthless mayor of Portland if he supports reducing the funding for police to zero, he answered no. The crowd then went absolutely crazy, booing him and threatening him.

"But...but 'defund' doesn't REALLY mean 'defund.'"

Why do Democrats engage in so much gaslighting? It's pathetic.
