Portland is Trump’s test case. If there is not enough public outcry, he will roll this out in other cities run by Democrats. It’s his law-and-order claim to show that Democrats allow their cities to run amuck and they can’t control protesters. The excuse is that federal officers are there to protect federal buildings, but they’re arresting people who aren’t doing anything to federal buildings. They’re protesting. They’re also using non-lethal bullets on protesters, shooting them in the head for maximum damage. Those bullets can blind people or break facial bones so that facial reconstruction is needed. This has to stop.
