I’m not saying the Portland Police haven’t done their share of violent things,
but what is happening now in Portland is frightening.
The President has send the federal forces in to take over our city,
so he can teach people how to do this right.
Violence has escalated, not from the peaceful protesters, but from outside agitators
and now the feds are stepping into the streets to go after citizens.
Tear gas nightly, abductions, and I am afraid of where this will take us.
All state representatives are asking the President to remove his army.

I am so late in answering (gads crazy busy, thankful to b able to schedule posts) that they technically have packed up. They have a right to be inside their building… and they decided to come out and teach the blue states a lesson. Extremely violent police force. I cannot believe it expect that we know too many people….

Five miles from the studio… if we work late we can hear them. Fortunately we are not in an area that they are interested in at all…

I hope you stay safe. The incursion of these unaccountable anonymous uniformed feds seems very frightening for you and your whole country.

They really cranked this up many levels — and shot at press and medics. Trump trying to teach a blue state a lesson.

Yes. The feds have caused many problems and the Portland Police have also. For the most part, the protesters are non-violent.

We are. It is about five miles from our studio… and we are not in an interesting neighborhood for them. Still, if we work late, the noise can be heard!
