I just love that it's like his first protest and he just went big.

Who is surprised? Anyone? That explains why they don't have any idea about the Constitutional requirements pertaining to arrest. Also, fuck their unlawful posse.

One of my friends drove to the protest with this woman and was standing next to her minutes before this happened. More and more people are now posting about being hit in the face this past week. I haven't seen any articles about it yet, but local journalists are reporting it and are also getting hit in the face.

Is there somewhere to donate money to the protestors in Portland? I feel so fucking helpless signing petitions and posting things to social media when these people are literally getting shot in the face... not that donating money is that helpful but it gives me a little more of an “I’m doing SOMETHING” feeling...
I’m so freaking angry.

Shooting these “less lethal” munitions at people’s faces is a tactic being used across the country. I’ve seen graphics explaining they are meant to be shot at the ground as a dispersal tool. Yet there is report after report of police shooting people point blank in the face. It’s absolutely horrifying.

THE US GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE SHOOTING THEM AT ITS OWN CITIZENS!

I'm beginning to think ICE and Border Control are not well trained in deescalation techniques.

Same model as with us. I can't remember if we've discussed it in this thread, they are targeting trans people, disabled and people of color at a higher rate in Portland.

Governor Kate Brown 40m · After my discussions with VP Pence and others, the federal government has agreed to withdraw federal officers from Portland. They have acted as an occupying force and brought violence. Starting tomorrow, all Customs and Border Protection and ICE officers will leave downtown Portland. Our local Oregon State Police officers will be downtown to protect Oregonians' right to free speech and keep the peace. Let's center the Black Lives Matter movement's demands for racial justice and police accountability. It's time for bold action to reform police practices.

If this actually happens we still have a big problem with our own police who show up in riot gear. It’s an improvement for us, I suspect those same agents just show up in different cities.

Hopefully this step in the right direction will help de escalate the situation and the Mayor can work with the Chief of Police on better de escalation training
