Portland Streets Are Quiet Again, Thanks To Trump-Barr Backing Down

[DeluxAuto]

The Feds Lost the Battle of Portland; the Secret Police Left Town and Nothing Bad Happened

Magically, as soon as federal agents withdrew from Portland, the rioting disappeared.

As restrained Oregon state police took the place of federal agents around the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse downtown, the protests were peaceful and people went home rather than engage.

Hmmm.

Let’s just roll back the clock here: Donald Trump, Attorney General William P. Barr and Homeland Security had insisted they needed to send in more than 100 federal marshals and immigration police to protect the courthouse from rioting protesters. The protesters widened a focus on social justice to object to the presence of anonymous federal agents in an abuse of presidential power. A small number were throwing bottles and starting fires in response.

Gov. Kate Brown uses state police instead, and suddenly, no rioting, no tear-gassing or pepper balls aimed at moms, no snatching of citizens from city streets into unmarked vans.​

Even from afar, it all felt like a stage set for campaign ads for Trump to argue he is the Law & Order candidate protecting our cities from Them, rioting by organized leftists.

Then came a deal this week with Oregon Gov. Kate Brown to use state police instead. Suddenly, there was no rioting, no tear-gassing or pepper balls aimed at moms, no snatching of citizens from city streets into unmarked vans.

Indeed, there were no reported sightings of the state police, and plenty of reports of a congenial atmosphere on the two downtown blocks near the courthouse. From the reporting there, both police and protesters seemed surprised there were no issues at all.

Maybe Trump should give up more often.

ReichGuide and FascistFan will not approve of this development. They were way into the Fed asskicking from Liberal Trump.

The article says Trump & Barr are moving their undercover thugs to Chicago next.

They want to provoke a shooting on the Southside.

What real Americans think about the police in their neighborhoods:

Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence
by Lydia Saad


Story Highlights

Black Americans a bit more likely than most other groups to see police locally
Still, most (81%) want police to spend same amount of or more time in their area
Big racial gaps seen in views of police fairness, perceived bias



WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When asked whether they want the police to spend more time, the same amount of time or less time than they currently do in their area, most Black Americans -- 61% -- want the police presence to remain the same. This is similar to the 67% of all U.S. adults preferring the status quo, including 71% of White Americans.

Meanwhile, nearly equal proportions of Black Americans say they would like the police to spend more time in their area (20%) as say they'd like them to spend less time there (19%).

I think most people still want police presence in their cities. What they don't want is a militarized police force that uses a heavy hand without discretion. You can't beat people up and push them around forever, the people will and are pushing back.

Portland is a failed, Leftist utopia. It is everything it wasn't supposed to be.

[Adre]

I know people who love it. You don’t? Who gives a shit, don’t move there.

Generally speaking people should stay in their own fucking lanes.

 

[Bad_Egg]

Typical Lefist bullshit & hypocrisy.

I know people who love it. You don’t? Who gives a shit, don’t move there. (I know people who hate it, but you're just cheering from the sidelines.)

Generally speaking people should stay in their own fucking lanes. (When their opinion differs from yours, right? The Left has a DUTY to swerve.)

You can use force when people are doing the above to the police.

After a short break,
they are back to rioting and burning...



Did Trump come back?
Were they not rioting before he was there?
They were rioting when he was there and
now that he is gone, they are rioting...



You might want to reexamine your premises without any thought of Trump
unless you are of the mind that they are still protesting 2016, in which case...

What took them so long to get organized?


:shrug:

That's the BBs trying to redeem their feckful leader's reputation.

They felt peace made him look bad, so they started stirrin' it up again.

 

[Curmudgeonly]

Alternatively, State and local police being allowed to disburse crowds is a more likely explanation.

If the Federales, who arrived weeks after the riots were in full swing were the cause, why did not the peaceful protesters simply refuse to rise to the bait?

Disburse definition, to pay out (money), especially for expenses.


Maybe they should do that, rather than ...


Disperse definition, to drive or send off in various directions; scatter

Well it's about time.

It only took the (D)'s what..3 1/2 months to start doing their fucking jobs??

Oh wait, it's Trumps fault that state/municipal/county level Democrats have proven totally incompetent right??? LOL

The article says Trump & Barr are moving their undercover thugs to Chicago next.

Awwwww leftist hate rule of law.....so sad for them

DHS/USMS =/= undercover thugs just like trying to destroy a courthouse and physically attacking federal LEO's isn't "peaceful protesting".

I know people who love it. You don’t? Who gives a shit, don’t move there.

Generally speaking people should stay in their own fucking lanes.

LOL....says the leftist who wants a totalitarian state telling people how to think, feel, raise their kids and run their businesses.

Nothing more liberal that state control over ALL the things right Adre???

They don't seem to understand that destruction of federal property and assaulting/murdering federal officers is NOT "peaceful protesting".

More of that failed Pub-Lick education the left is so in love with.

Nope.

Their team was peacefully protesting.

Violence is the work of right-wing infiltrators who are trying to tarnish them...

LOL that shit was funny....it's WHITE SUPREMACIST!!!


NOT ALL!!! They just cover for them and facilitated the violence....they didn't actually do it.

Right up there with "I just drove the get-away car, I didn't actually Rob the bank! White supremacy did!".

I legit hope Trump wins and the west coast seceds, we need to let them....and build that wall.

We know the Left is rainbow, skittles, unicorns, hippies, peace, love, free drugs...

Portland police chief says riots not helping cause of racial justice: ‘Enough is enough’
“Spectacle is drowning out the voices that need to be heard to make positive change" Chief Chuck Lovell says
By Brie Stimson | Fox News

Portland, Ore., police Chief Chuck Lovell on Wednesday morning decried violent instigators who he said are marring the message of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters.

"Portlanders need to send a strong message that enough is enough," Lovell told reporters at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, according to KGW-TV in Portland. "This is not forwarding the goals that are going to lead to better outcomes for people of color. This movement is really powerful, but the violence has taken away from it. ... This is not what Portland is about. This is not what we need in our city."

The protests, which have sometimes turned into late-night riots focused on the Multnomah County Justice Center and the federal courthouse, have continued unabated for more than two months since the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

Lovell said there have been many large peaceful protests that required no police presence but the smaller offshoot actions -- setting fires, breaking windows and throwing objects at police -- are taking away from the larger message.
