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

Snip

"I’m still here and they’re leaving. I’d say that whatever it was they came to do, they didn’t do it,” said Amy Tulip, wearing a helmet and gas mask, and holding a “Fuck Trump, Fuck the Feds” sign.

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

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.

Was she really, or did someone make a tweet and then somebody else made A News out of the gossip?

It's a real brouhaha. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/07 ... t-pdx.html

Splitters and "enemies within the ranks" have been a problem for the left historically...

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.

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. :tea:

Especially when throttling a handcuffed arrestee for well over two minutes after said arrestee has become non-responsive is standard operational procedure.

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