The mayors of Portland, Seattle and Chicago are screaming bloody murder over President Trump’s sending of federal agents to protect federal buildings from out of control mobs.
In Portland, the feds used flash bangs, teargas and pepper balls against the mobs that were trying to attack the federal courthouse because local cops failed to restrain the unpeaceful protesters.
The mobs were almost all-white, most of them being college students and graduates.
What really pissed off Portland’s mayor and the BLM-loving media was that the feds had the audacity to chase the hooligans down the street in order to arrest some of those who threw objects at them before trying to flee the scene.
Critics of the feds claim that their mere presence escalated the violence.
The feds were right in teargassing, pepper balling and chasing down the unpeaceful protesters. If some actual peaceful protesters got hurt in the process, that’s just tough shit. They should have headed straight home the moment the mob tried to storm the courthouse.
Trump is reportedly sending an additional 100 deputy US marshals to Portland.
At the request of congressional Democrats, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz has opened an investigation into the the use of force taken by the feds in Portland and in the nation’s capital to clear the way for Trump to make his bible-waving photo-op in front of St. John’s Church.
President Trump was absolutely right in sending 114 federal law enforcement officers to Portland. And under the circumstances, the amount of force used by the feds in Portland seemed to be appropriate.
I have to agree fully with Howie on this one. The locals are ignoring attempts by rioters to destroy federal property. The feds are protecting the federal property. While it is unfortunate that tear gas is somewhat indiscriminate if you don’t want to get teargassed you should stay the fuck away. These people are not peaceful protesters, they are RIOTERS, a fact even the Portland P D has acknowledged and the main stream media has ignored. IMHO the feds are in fact showing great restraint. If I were in charge, those bastards who blinded three feds with laser pointers would be in federal lockup in South Dakota awaiting a lawyer to find them.
Peaceful protest. I think not. President Trump made the right call to bring in federal agents to protect federal property.
Maybe it’s time to reintroduce the Draft. Bootcamp and deployment can make people view America in a different way. Discipline, Honor and Respect are what these spoiled brats need.
