"A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by Donald Trump’s secret police" Now what? Daily Kos, July 17, '20.

Some have suggested recent actions in Portland are a trial run for martial law, considering how badly run was the attempt at using federal forces in DC. They are DHS and feds, without identification, and refusing to identify themselves.

Apparently graffiti is terrorism in the absence of statues to topple, as Trump attempts to provoke a serious RWNJ incident to match the Trumpian carnage meme contradicted by generally peaceful BLM protests. Portland is now better positioned than Seattle, given the historical pattern of protests...

1. My only answer to this bullshit....

The mayor and chief of police need to deploy about 10 patrol cars and a couple of SWAT teams to surround these unmarked vehicles filled with armed men with no identifying marks on their uniforms, disarm them, put them spread eagle on the ground, and search them. They should then demand authorization for their actions and from whom that authorization was granted. Their tactics are no different from a group of armed anti-government militia running around the city kidnapping and terrorizing its citizens.

If the mayor believes that complaining to the media without any direct action will be effective in solving this problem, I think he will be sorely disappointed.
