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 It’s a new Chief so maybe it will go better. I’m not super optimistic because of the evidence the police planted and their joining in with the feds over the weekend.

Wall of Moms has gone down in flames. It's unfolding very publicly on FB. What’s going on? I saw they filed a lawsuit They did file a suit, I have no idea where the suit stands as the other groups involved in the suit have dropped their ties with WOM. The quick version of the story is it went from BLM to All Lives because the leader wants fame. The founder who I know IRL came under fire for not having enough black moms as admins. She claimed to turn the group over to the other local moms while at the same time turned it into a 501c3 without informing the black leaders and then blocked and removed the black admins. All local groups including Don't Shoot PDX came out with statements today after WOM left a black leader behind during the protest and then blocked her and removed her as admin when called out on it.

Ayfkm. These people are the reasons we can't have nice things. And by "these people" I mean white women. Ffs.

I have so many friends who joined in from day 1 believing they were there to amplify black voices while the leader was doing interviews and making plans behind the backs of the people she claimed to be there to help.

I should have mentioned, the leader is a woman of color which is why she thought she could keep up the narrative that the group was BIPOC run and no new members would notice she kicked out all of the black leaders who have been doing this work for years while keeping herself and a couple of white women who just stepped into the movement as leaders.

I'm sorry, that was my assumption. How enraging that she kicked out the black leaders though. My wtf reaction to that still stands.

I loved the idea and the sentiment but from the get go it seemed like it could go the way of the original womens march. Annnnnd then it did. Things were great for them and they were about to transfer all funds to reputable portland groups to keep them fed and in medical supplies. As the leader Made this statement and said they didn't need more $ they would be turning all money not currently spent to serveral local established groups that benefit the protests and BLM. One employee of RR sexually harassed several members and stole from the tip jarw which made the founder cut ties with that partner. The thief was armed at some point and drove off tore groups and started his own riot ribs with cash app and new twitter feed. The actual leaders said x is how much we raised. We paid x on these sprinter vans and we will send x to these groups. They probably would have had a good run in PDX if they hadn't met this bad guy. So many people benefited from free meals. bad guy.

The Oregon State Police did not gas anyone last night. Huge difference in how they handled the several thousand protestors.

Jesslfar have you heard anything more about the man (I believe it's a man) who was shot last night? Or the possible shooter? I heard it is being investigated as a homicide but it's also been so quiet that it makes me think it was not one of the anti racism/BLM protestors.

I heard it is being investigated as a homicide but it's also been so quiet that it makes me think it was not one of the anti racism/BLM protestors. All I know at this point is the man has been confirmed to be white and wearing a Patriot Prayer hat. Photos seem to show him with multiple weapons (I can’t tell if these are knives or guns) strapped to his legs. I did watch some of last night’s footage and both sides did not appear to be full of the usual people.

blurnette989, the victim has been confirmed by Patriot Prayer organizers to be one their own, his name has been released by them but not the police or press yet. The shooter has not been confirmed by police, internet detectives who have not been entirely wrong on identifying others in protests have identified the shooter by name and as well known Antifa, again not confirmed by police or the press. One thing that is interesting you might not know is this shooting happened just before 9 which is very early and during a normal night of protests would be when regular people are out. Most violence happens much later in the night.
