Federal agents show stronger force at Portland protests despite order to withdraw

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Re: George Floyd protests
The Mexican-American founder of the Wall of Moms movement in Portland was accused of treason and ‘anti-blackness’ by BLM activists after saying the movement should protect non-black protesters too.
The movement started in Portland earlier this month in an attempt to discourage federal law enforcement from using heavy-handed tactics against ongoing Black Lives Matter protests in the city. It enjoyed a rapid growth, with similar groups popping up in other cities, and has drawn national media attention.

Re: George Floyd protests
The rest of the george floyd arrest tape got leaked. Complained about 'can't breathe' before the cops even touched him. It's clear that the original autopsy was correct, cause of death was heart attack brought on by heart disease, drugs, and stress of being restrained. Cops did nothing wrong. So another round of riots will be on the way.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Like Dylann Roof did not murder nine African Americans. They died of lead poisoning during a Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.Tyrannical wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 8:15 pmThe rest of the george floyd arrest tape got leaked.

Re: George Floyd protests
Indeed. I wonder why anyone would care to pretend that a cop applying pressure to the neck of someone who was not resisting arrest was justifiable homicide because of reasons.

Especially when throttling a handcuffed arrestee for well over two minutes after said arrestee has become non-responsive is standard operational procedure.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 8:43 pmIndeed.

Barr arrests hundreds of antifa, mainly for shooting a 4-year old:
