Please pay attention to Portland right now. Proud boys and other far-right people are macing, swinging pipes, shooting paint balls, and generally attacking Black Lives Matter protesters. And police, who declare a riot when BLM protests every night, are letting it happen.

Portland police are essentially saying that, because people have been protesting the police for months, officers will no longer intervene in assaults on the public in broad daylight?

So, no stormtroopers for the proud boys?

Cops stood down, BLM protesters stood their ground & ran off the fascists, so THEN the cops rolled in & started doing something. Doesn't matter what side someone is on with the issue, kind of shows bias.

White BLM counter protestors threw urine at a Black conservative speaker. She supports law enforcement. She was humiliated & in tears. An elderly Black Pastor tried to love on both sides. He was maced when he broke up a fight. BLM didn’t show any concern for his wellbeing.

Antifa was throwing rocks, fireworks including smoke bombs, urine, water bottles, eggs and other stuff. I spent 15 minutes listening to an intelligent young Black man today. He was full of wisdom. He said the white Antifa/BLM folks ignore him.

I didn’t think I could be more disgusted with the PPB and then today happened. We can’t stand up for our 1st amendment rights without a riot being declared. White supremacy can attack citizens with Brit force and PPB does NOTHING. This is America. This is why we protest!
