They shot rubber bullets at the Wall of Moms in Portland

https://news.yahoo.com/wall-moms-portland-protests-getting-173742870.html

"After nearly two months of protests in downtown Portland, a group of mothers formed a "Wall of Moms," putting themselves between protesters and federal agents in an effort to keep all sides of the protests peaceful.

But within hours of forming, the group was met with force from police and federal agents, with viral videos capturing the peaceful group being tear gassed, hit with flash-bangs, and targeted by rubber bullets."

"This is America with a government run by republicans".

My guess is that the Senators and other republicans up for reelection are going to reel Bill Barr in if there is enough of an association to the republican government, or the "government under republicans" meme.

Media gets their act together,which is what the White House is counting on,and broadcasts in live time,these attacks on innocent mothers,nothing changes. Ignorance of these attacks is salvation for Trump and his Brown shirts.
