So this appears to be real. Restricted airspace order over Portland for “national defense” reasons? I’m no expert on FAA regs but this seems quite odd. https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_1203.html

5. There are too many news helicopters flying in the area.

Any more than "zero", and some news might get out. We can't have that.

Our federal goons need to be able to act without reporters exposing their antics.

6. I'm getting really scared.

This has to stop.

Suggestions on Twitter that the fire at the right wing authoritarian Portland Police Association are false flag and this air restriction is to keep news helicopters and drones out of the area. This is the government turning on its people and yeah, I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

7. Maybe President BEANS is flying in to take personal command of his troops. nt

8. I am tempted to use the F bomb word.

Wow! Just...freaking unbelievable. This seems like a naked power grab.
