House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) insisted that federal agents' abuse of force had not risen to the level of congressional investigations after a judge barred the Department of Homeland Security from using specific tactics against faith leaders and journalists.
During a press conference on Tuesday, one reporter told Johnson that federal agents had been seen shooting pepper balls at the targets.
I've not seen them cross the line yet," Johnson insisted. "We have committees of jurisdiction who have that responsibility, but it's not risen to that level."
What I've seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists," he continued. "You know, most recently, the most threatening thing I've seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it's getting really ugly."

(15,595 posts)The bicyclists are exposed to greater threat (Pepper spray/balls) than anyone watching them go down the street.
Unless one's manhood is threatened by the sight of other men's luggage. Though as cold, windy, and rainy it is on the West Coast this time of year, there is shrinkage, so...could that still be a threat?

(131,231 posts)God didn't intend for people to be naked! Why didn't he make it so we'd be born with clothes? And some naked people might be more, shall we say, impressive than some others, and that would be threatening indeed.
Also, naked people probably won't be carrying concealed weapons, so what's the problem?
