Whenever there are reports of arrests like these, I wonder if the charges are later dropped or minor fines are assessed. The media never follows up so we are left to our suspicions.
“officers fired non-lethal weapons back”
There is the problem right there. The authorities need get control of these things before they spin out of control.
So what are the fascist Nazi snowflakes marching for today? More colorful diplomas?
Interesting how prominently Pepsi figured into the story...
Rallies began at noon and a march started at about 3 p.m. Portland police reported members of an anarchist group threw rocks, smoke bombs, a full Pepsi can and other objects at police officers at about 4:10 p.m.
The Pepsi can struck a Portland Fire and Rescue paramedic, police said.
May not have been reported but those rioters learned an important, fundamental lesson about effective policing. When the cops know the courts or politicians won’t act definitively, they are sure that the rioters come to know there is an immediate painful price they pay for their crimes.
These were not snowflakes. These were the anarchists.
