1. Someone should tell them that

they are going to detain the wrong person. It will be a little guy that does not look threatening.

And then they are going to find out that those helmets won't stop a kick to the nuts.

2. That last guy with the flag...

Smooth move!!

[Boogiemack]

3. Why are they stopping them and what right do they have to stop people?

Is this a protest or Proud Boys' picnic? WTF?

[Miigwech]

4. "Hey , where is my fucking pizza?"

"Oh, sorry bro ... thought you was the pizza dude."

5. Where are the FUCKING cops?????????????????????

[Shaddox]

23. You do realize that a majority of cops are white supremacists? There is no 911 call on this.

[Codeine]

27. Where? On the same side as the Proud Boys, of course.

America’s law enforcement officers stand foursquare with the white supremacy movement and always have. The only difference is that we pay their salaries.

6. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FUCKING ARREST THEM!

I'm so sick of how they keep coddling these terrorists.

8. Some of them are cut from the same piece of cloth! n/t

13. Could that be considered false imprisonment? nt

[Codeine]

28. One rarely arrests one's allies.

The police and the Proud Boys are one and the same, cut from the same putrid cloth.

[gratuitous]

7. Guess they gotta do something after their impotent little demonstration fizzled

They should learn to keep their grimy little mitts off other people's property.

9. Honestly if somebody did that to me

Some asses would be kicked.

10. Doesn't that constitute assault?

[LuckyCharms]

11. I would say it borders on some form of kidnapping

along with some form of harassment.

I wish I knew the law better, but whatever it is called, it should be and most likely is easily prosecutable.

[tblue37]

15. False imprisonment? Illegal restraint? nt

[LuckyCharms]

18. Probably something like that.

I'm sure a few lawyers will chime in.

[brush]

14. Illegal detainment, it even approaches kidnapping. They're not cops.

[bluestarone]

12. cops do not give a fuck. If this was

BLM protest, the cops would KILL someone for doing this!

[Celerity]

17. +1000

[Codeine]

29. Exactly. nt

[rockfordfile]

16. Arrest those un-American right-wing Nazis

[LuckyCharms]

19. I wish I knew what they were saying.

[Volaris]

30. Papers please.

I'm sorry, are you a cop?
No
Then how bout you fuck right off before you and your three bois here, end up in the emergency room.

[Solly Mack]

20. People should call the police. Document the events. Sue both the perpetrators and the police

if the police refuse to end the unlawful detentions, stops, and assaults by the cowards.

File a report with the police. Get a copy. Have a paper trail. Identify the cowards.

And sue, sue, sue.

21. Portland may have a reputation as a "progressive" city...

...but the Portland Police Bureau is notorious down there for their close ties to the alt-right. (Something to keep in mind when you hear about "violent protests" in front of police precincts there.)

[Crunchy Frog]

26. In other words, they are not under the control of civil authority.

That's one of the indicators of a failed state, which this country is getting uncomfortably close to.

[roamer65]

22. I'd tell them to show me a badge or fuck off.

[Ahpook]

24. Who the fuck do they think they are?

I'd be damned if those pricks stopped me on the bike. Their dick extensions don't scare me for one fucking minute.

Fucking wussies have no fire without them! And, yeah I mean that! Take on people without your goddamn gun, wuss.

[Initech]

25. I'd tell them to fuck off.

[Liberal In Texas]

31. Bunch of yabbos spoiling for a fight.

Jerking a bike stopped like that should be considered assault.
