www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/07/portland-protests-continue-for-62nd-day-tuesday.htmlPart of the long link.... By Joe Freeman | The Oregonian/OregonLive and Ryan Nguyen | The Oregonian/OregonLive Portlanders assembled downtown Tuesday for the 62nd consecutive night to protest police violence against Black people — and increasingly, the use of force by federal officers stationed downtown. President Donald Trump’s administration dispatched dozens of federal officers to police at-times chaotic protests near the federal courthouse. Their nightly use of tear gas and impact munitions have reenergized protests and sparked nationwide criticism. After hours of relative calm, a series of fireworks prompted federal officers to once more use tear gas on crowds early Wednesday morning. Within the crowd, many people called for calm to keep the focus on the Black Lives Matter movement. The protests started in late May after the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. The calls not to agitate police overnight Tuesday were met with flashes of tension outside the federal courthouse, where a couple of people climbed a fence surrounding it. Federal officers mostly stayed inside the building but ultimately emerged and released a cloud of tear gas. The crowd’s first interaction with federal officers Tuesday came around 9 p.m. Federal officers briefly emerged from the courthouse, attracting immediate attention and shouts from some protesters. The officers used a large hose to water down portions of the sidewalk in front of the building. The water stirred up irritants, such as gas and pepper spray, released during the previous night’s protests. ================================================================== The problem with the so call peaceful protesters is it leads to riots, looting, destruction of private and public property. After two months of this in Portland its time to stop the protesters from protesting after 7 PM.

After two months of this in Portland its time to stop the protesters The protests were very small and could have ended. UNTIL tramp put his Goon in!
If he told them he was going to take the Goon out and add in some more real police.
It is highly likely the protests would calm down. But the evil man in the white house wants a win. very sad
oldmontana, do you want the protests to end or do you want to dominate them and win?

"The protests were very small and could have ended. UNTIL tramp put his Goon in" Wrong. You need to get up to speed and if you do you would know that the protests that turned into to riots, looting, destruction of private and public property started weeks before the feds were sent in. The rest of your post is typical of a person that shows dislike (gate) for Trump. Again...After two months of this in Portland its time to stop the protesters from protesting after 7 PM.

**off topic** Trump has made numerous references to IQ, boasting that his is high, while denigrating those that he loathes as being low in IQ. Truly NOT the sign of a real intelligent man, or even a "real man"...quite the opposite.

"The protests were very small and could have ended. UNTIL tramp put his Goon in"
That appeared to be the trend, can you give me an example of after a big protest, the small lingering protests got big again.
The rest of your post is typical of a person that shows dislike tramp, It is not just tramp I have trouble with.
It authoritarians that need to control, not help and fix, Control is temporary, you need for people to work together and fix, the under lying problems or it will just comes back.
Authoritarians pretended they care about the people, but what they care about is that they Control the people.
Control becomes more important then solving the problem.
I have not see tramp send anyone to talk to the protestors, to see how to end this, Just try to Control and win.

Portland protests draw large response from federal officers Wednesday
Updated Jul 30, 2020; Posted Jul 29, 2020
Part of the long link...
Hours after Oregon’s governor announced the phased withdrawal of federal officers from Portland, several dozen officers filled city streets late Wednesday in the largest visible response by the federal government to downtown demonstrations.
Officers wearing Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection uniforms advanced on protesters gathered near the federal courthouse and remained on the streets for an hour. Officers faced off with protesters at multiple locations near the courthouse, all at once. The oft-chaotic confrontations brought tear gas, impact munitions and arrests.
The standoffs unfolded after a night that saw thousands of people downtown for anti-police violence demonstrations, which have happened every night since late May. Recent protests have drawn thousands, particularly since the use of force by federal officers drew a nationwide spotlight and sent multiple protesters to hospitals.
Andre Miller addressed the crowd gathered Wednesday at a rally before federal officers engaged with protesters.
Miller was hospitalized after he was hit in the head with an impact munition shot by federal officers during overnight demonstrations July 21. He encouraged protesters to keep showing up for the original purpose, even if federal officers do ultimately leave.
“I want y’all to make sure that Black Lives Matter is your number one priority,” said Miller, who wore a tactical vest and a bandage over his head wound. “This is just the beginning.”
Crowds started to gather for the demonstrations around 9 p.m. Several dozen people wearing blue medical scrubs marched around the area near the federal courthouse and chanted, “Black lives matter!”

Another night of crazies taking over the streets of Portland.

"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." You can intercept that a different way. One is the good men are trying to keep our cities safe and to stay silent would lead to more destruction, looting and bodily harm and death.

The feds say they won't leave Portland until the violence stops. Privately, they concede they're fueling that violence.

Does everybody realize there is a pandemic out there? Nkat Bingo! That's what this is all about. Trump orchestrated this fiasco to distract people from how he bungled the pandemic matter at every step of the way!
He (mis)used fed troops like parts in a chess game, to suit his own selfish personal agenda. The ensuing chaos, rights violations, and uptick in violence were of no concern to him. He is a monster, and has no conscience to prevent him from doing these kinds of things.

Like he had that police man in Minnesota kill a person so there would be riots and looting for months....no, that does not pass the smell test.
