"Portland mayor Ted Wheeler has called on federal officers to stay away. Speaking to CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, he said: “The president has a complete misunderstanding of cause and effect."

“We have dozens, if not hundreds of federal troops descending upon our city. And … they are sharply escalating the situation. Their presence is actually leading to more violence and more vandalism. It’s not helping the situation at all. They’re not wanted here. We haven’t asked them here. In fact, we want them to leave.”"
Watching a segment about it on CNN this morning, it was clear Fox news, via Hannity and others, are promoting an exaggerated view of isolated protesting as some sort of mob destruction rampaging throughout the state, in desperate need of rescue by Trump and cloaked federal authorities, as a harbinger of what may be in store for the country should Biden be elected.

"The scam" as he calls it must be right up there with the one on global warming, huh? I mean, he ignores the fact that it's a global pandemic with other countries doing lockdowns/ masking/distancing/shutting down airports and so on. So, it's an international scam, too? Yup, must just be like the flu...

No Greg, I stopped when I read this:

Not to change the subject but Joe Biden was just formally named in the criminal investigation case in Ukraine for bribery and corruption with respect to Burisma. The chickens are potentially coming home to roost on him smile

Want to give a link to that? The only thing I see on google remotely relevant to this are:

and:
https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/499020-ukraine-is-investigating-alleged-biden-phone-call
"The recordings, released by a Ukrainian lawmaker this week, have not yet been verified and reportedly do not contain any references to wrongdoing on Biden's part."

Now the protester thinks he is a hero. 
Mel, If you comprehended the post, the guy is simply standing there. He wasn't doing anything "before the video" and if he was, peaceful protesting is a constitutional right...

Rod, this quote from this fellow tells you all you need to know about how full of s*** he is.

Darian,
He has a constitutional right to peacefully protest in support of what he believes in. You may disagree with it but at the end of the day the guy had to have surgery as a result of his unprovoked beating and there's no justification for that...

FWIW, there are plenty of t*rds who are military veterans. Some of the sorriest people I'm encountered in my life have been military veterans.

This fellow strikes me as a real bozo, with his BLM bull***. What a f**king idiot!
It's obvious from the video he was a peaceful protestor standing there when they came at him and not the other way around. It's also obvious that he didn't resist, either...
