City councilors met with PPB Cheif Day today to discuss policies to keep police from cooperating w/feds, if they’re sent to PDX protests in the future. Councilor Avalos: “We are operating under a fascist regime. It’s my responsibility to propose new laws and policies to protect our constituents.”

"At the time, then-mayor Ted Wheeler spoke out against the federal officers’ tactics, calling them “heavy-handed.”" I know the article isn't about him, but really. That's what you're going to say, @opb.org ?
Reina de Los Angeles county has a population of 9.8 million people. The amount of soldiers they’re sending gives a population to soldier ratio of about 3800 to 1. The best thing that people can do is to ignore them. Eventually, they’ll get bored and go home.
ignoring this is not, in fact, the best thing to do
What would you recommend?
From somewhere in Los Angeles. Skateboarders resist!
Meaningless words from Wilson and Kotek. Offering protection with conditions that they know as well as we do will occur, and then they can just hand wave awag accountablity.
The Constitution has a clear provision on providing for means to fight a tyrannical government. The Supreme Court has confirmed it. May it not come to that.
They are smart and realize the Trump regime isn't looking out for their best interests.
Fuck PPB! They’re all MAGA!
We were watching these get torched on live TV. It really is the selfi generation. The number of folk who jumped on for a quick photo. The sheer number of photos of this one incident will make it look far angrier and bigger than this really is. Certainly doesn't warrant calling in the marines.
Given the very recent video and photo evidence of them doing traffic control for ICE transport, I should hope they make very swift progress, they should know as well as anyone that people here won't let it go unnoticed
alex’s reporting suggests PPB is feeling the heat on this already
I hope so. The arrests of protestors and press in that area ramping up again is alarming and PPB showed willingness to conceal their identities even when the federal courts said they could not. Their word is weak.
