The tough, professional, federal agents: “ oh my God, it’s a bunch of unarmed people with signs!! Fire fire fire!!! (gosh aren’t we some real alpha males)”

Just like during BLM Protests!! Come in and stir shit up, wear masks, no name tags!

We aren’t afraid!

“Armoured cars an tanks and guns came to take away our sons”

Tenacity of the protesters… priceless.

Media is showing this as a full breach! The only explosions were from their ordinance! ACAB!

Used to be Teargas incapacitated whole crowds Flash bangs made people run away in shear panic When Authoritarians abuse the people too often they not only grow Immune to the tactics, they remain Focused, become more Dedicated and efforts Redouble... That's how it works.

What the 'arse' (my grandfather's spellibg to make a point) is wrong with law enforcement?

Trump wanted a war and this is how it starts.

Why are they firing on them!

Intimidation and a show of power.

Flash bangs during the day are just "bangs."

Destruction and violence led up to this day. Officers are justified to exercise extreme precaution.

So no violence just discouraging protest and free speech.

Portland about to fuck ICE up. Portlanders do not play.

One can only hope!!!

People commenting who aren't from PDX really need to shut the fuck up about peaceful protests. That ain't how we roll here when shit heats up, this should be common knowledge at this point.

#ICE is nothing more than a tool for white supremacy. It literally does NOTHING to secure the country. 9/11 Islamophobia created it and it doesn't need to exist! #AbolishICE

Should have returned with guns!

Form testudo

Portland thugs sure are nervous.

This is Portland Oregon? I thought that was a very progressive city. Why such a harsh response to so few people.

Portland police have been thugs for decades. It’s in the “high intensity trafficking corridor” between LA and Vancouver. Americans have provided decades of military equipment and lax civil rights protections as a result. It’s turned the cops into fascist cunts. That’s what prohibition always does.

thanks I had no idea

Yes, Antifa is attack federal buildings again. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Antifa is an abbreviation of antifascism. Are you pro fascism or against fascism? It's one or the other.

They are unironically fascists themselves. It's not complicated. They physically attack people who simply disagree with them. So yes, I'm antifascist. Antifa needs to be disbanded.

How do you disband something that's not centralized? You can't be fascist and antifascist simultaneously.

Centralization has nothing to do with fascist behavior and views.

Wow! Try reading again. There is no Antifa organization. That's the point. There are many movements and organizations that are antifascist.

Antifa exists. It's real. They are organized. i don't know what to tell you.

The shields they bring will be called "weapons" and they'll be charged with armed insurrection against Govt agents and possibly terrorism

The musicians are great heroes of this movement. They help transform the spirit of fear into something else

Not surprising.

Looks like they were on public property so why the show of force. I wish ICE could be overwhelmed with class action suits to bankrupt them

Resistance is here in Portland!!!

I saw someone get killed with a flashbang in Oakland, during the Occupy Wall Street protests. They really need to stop using those.

Yeah, pretty outrageous to use those things as a crowd control device.

Hella dangerous. They really are.

Police need to lock up these domestic terrorists

Maybe lethal rounds would be more useful in clearing the streets of these rabid herd animals?

Only violence is from the 'law'

And only the “law” is permitted to commit violence!!

There are very frightened "Bad-Asses" in there.

For a second there I thought you meant Maine's South Portland but I didn't recognize where they were.

Fighting the fight.

Portland has always been a no fucks to give kind of city, these people have danced this dance before.

I love the guy on the scooter with his sack lunch just trying to get the hell outta there

Leaf blowers are effective against tear gas.

Sadly, Portland has a full time gang of anarchists just looking for an opportunity to destroy shit. Same with Seattle. It's hard to have a peaceful protest when shithead's are hellbent to destroy property and be assholes.

escalation. ice are morons in this instance

Trump want to call martial law, don’t give him an excuse

Remember the leaf blowers? Ingenious

Le Monde (French News Outlet - from EUWatch): Emmanuel Macron in Nuuk to support Greenland and Copenhagen against the United States. & I'm siding w them, our Free World Alliance 🌐🇺🇳🇨🇦🇪🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇮🇹🇮🇪🇵🇱🇩🇪🇦🇺🇷🇴🇳🇱🇸🇪🇫🇮🇳🇴🇮🇸🇺🇦 bsky.app/profile/jose...

This is what Lil pussyweikle coward proud sissy boys fascists do when they get scared.

To keep momentum, we must crowdsource tech, show up in numbers randomly, relentlessly. Disrupt commerce, draw cameras, seize headlines. They’ll follow the dollar, not the man. Hit where it hurts: profits. Movements fade, but disruption forces response.

Why are they so threatened by signs ??????

And guys on scooters.

It seems to me that Portland and L.A have people on their police forces that should not be employed by them.

this is bullshit and Portland will fight it as they've always done too.

They are standing peacefully and holding signs! Yet the tRump US Gestapo found it necessary to escalate to violence! People have a constitutional right to protest peacefully!

On Fox News and website, there is near zero mention of millions of people peacefully protesting with no police conflicts. This is a few anarchists who want violence, possibly working with the local and fed police who’ve want the same. Fox says mob and riot to describe any protest. #nokings

In other words, the normal MAGAt propaganda machine.

Impeach the FELON! Vote every single MAGA rep out!

www.latimes.com/california/s...

SMDH, at a certain point, we're going to have to go after command and control, they have meetings, and meal team 6 affairs (food); it's the people deploying them and writing paychecks, that's the problem, to the top

While the head felon of the US spent millions of tax payers money (they’re the ones he approved using force against) on a pathetic birthday for himself, Americans all over the US marched peacefully against him. This is not the America I know or will give into.

I have to wonder if some of those people aren't MAGAt agitators.

The cops? Hell yeah they are.

Let’s spread the feds thin, America. Let’s push them to overly deploy and show their authoritarian hand.
