Moms Showed Up To Protect Portland Protesters. The Feds Teargassed Them.

These are Donald Trump’s federal agents, he thinks they are doing a great job. Last week, Trump said, “It was out of control. The locals couldn’t handle it,” speaking to the acting head of Homeland Security Chad Wolf. “And you people are handling it very nicely.”

The Democratic Party politicians in Portland want to wash their hands of this brutality. But Portland police have been known to collude with white supremacists, as well as tear gas protesters under the orders of the Democratic Party.

This event makes clear the brutality of federal agents, as well as the police force: they will tear gas peaceful moms, standing arm in arm. They aren’t there for protection, they are in Portland to deter protests, to intimidate protesters, and to try to make everyone go home. However, the Black Lives Matter movement isn’t going anywhere. Rather, it’s going to get bigger: we’re going to fight against evictions, against layoffs and against every expression of police violence and brutality.

So it seems reasonable to me to wonder what do Portlandians say for themselves.

They do? Because I searched pretty thoroughly for polls of local Portlandians to find out what they were thinking. And I'm sure they've been done, but they haven't made it onto the internet. And that's why I ended up having to point to the upcoming elections as a measure of what Portlandians think.


At least one quote and link is needed.

Also, I found a lot on local news, which usually terms the events as "riots" and which runs counter to the national media. Since this is local news speaking to a local audience it is probably closer to the local POV.

I can't be certain, but I imagine if ** I ** were a Portlandian I'd be be tired of outside groups fighting their proxy wars in my city. BLM, Antifa, Boogaloo, Proudboyz, and so on. And if there was a way to get them out without troops, even the federales - since the federales have very limited authority but sure are the focus of a lot of clashes.

The problem with being the battleground for a proxy war is that the proxy warriors eventually leave, but the people who live there are stuck with ruination.

Now HERE's a way to stop the fighting!

Protester dubbed 'Naked Athena' strips off and dares police to shoot her with tear gas during tense stand-off in the 50-day 'Battle of Portland'


A protester dubbed 'Naked Athena' confronted Portland police wearing only a face mask and beanie.

The unidentified woman struck a series of ballet and yoga poses in front of anti-riot officers at around 1.45 am on Saturday morning.

Surreal video footage from the scene shows the woman striding towards the officers, who were in heavy protective gear including gas masks and helmets, almost completely naked.

Oregon state law is pretty lenient on public nudity, and in Portland it is only illegal to be naked in public with the intent to arouse.

The standoff comes after the city of Portland marked its 50th consecutive night of unrest following the death of George Floyd, with crowds taking to the streets to denounce racial injustice.

Officers proceed to fire pepper balls at the woman's feet and another protester is filmed rushing to protect her with a makeshift shield.

However she side-steps him to perform a series of yoga poses in front of the officers and even reclines onto the street at one point.

Her graceful poses stand in stark contrast to the heavily-armed guards.

According to Dave Killen, a photographer for The Oregonian, the officers left around 10 minutes after the naked woman showed up.

'She was incredibly vulnerable,' he told the news outlet.

'It would have been incredibly painful to be shot with any of those munitions with no clothes on.'







n Portland, courts have recognized nudity as a form of political protest which overrides public decency laws.

It comes as the city of Portland has seen daily Black Lives Matter protests decrying police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death.

Portland police early Monday detailed another night of conflict between protesters and federal forces outside the US courthouse, including a small fire outside the building and tear gas deployed to disperse the crowd.

A department statement said police officers did not engage with the crowd, and that federal authorities periodically came of out of the courthouse to keep demonstrators at bay.

Video posted online also showed protesters taking down fencing that had surrounded the courthouse.

'Dozens of people with shields, helmets, gas masks, umbrellas, bats, and hockey sticks approached the doors before federal law enforcement came out and dispersed the crowd,' police said.

'At 1.34am people lit a fire within the portico in front of the federal courthouse. Others gathered around the fire adding wood and other debris to make it larger
'At 1.42am federal law enforcement came out of the courthouse, dispersed the crowd and extinguished the fire,' the statement said.

Gas was used at least twice to remove protesters, the statement said, but Portland officers 'were not present during any of the activity' or deploy any 'CS gas'.

Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler said federal officers 'are not wanted here'.

'We haven't asked
