Federal authorities again used tear gas and other crowd-control munitions against protesters gathered outside of the federal courthouse in Portland on Saturday night.
Portland Police Bureau confirmed that federal authorities used CS gas twice and made arrests as people gathered outside of the federal courthouse near the Multnomah County Justice Center in downtown Portland, which has seen nightly demonstrations in support of Black Lives Matter for six consecutive weeks.
The climax of Saturday night’s confrontation stuck around 2 a.m. (Sunday) when an Antifa rioter tried to throw a gas canister at the Feds.
They responded immediately and fired a less-lethal round that hit him in the face and he fell down to the ground. The angry mob drawback and took the wounded person with them.

Before this incident the Portland downtown looked like a scene from a war movie: Antifa rioters and people with shields try to move in closer to the entrance of the federal courthouse. They’re repelled by flashbangs and more. Rioters respond by throwing projectiles and glass bottles at police.

PPB said officers responded to a call for help from federal officers overwhelmed by crowd members “resisting arrest” and “throwing bottles” at them near SW Main Street and SW 3rd Avenue. As this was going on, police made announcements for people to leave the area.
PPB said officers monitored the crowd for an additional hour as they witnessed trash cans and dumpsters being lit on fire. No structures were threatened during the altercation, police confirmed.

For those wondering why Portland has gone over 40 days of rioting and lawlessness just read this tweet. The Mayor has given up to the mob.

This is terrorism and it gotta stop!
Trying to blind them, those are very powerful lasers. Keep this in mind, they will use same tactics on us. Two six man squads firing from cover on their flank could have taken them all down in few minutes, but our hands are tied... until when is the question. It looks like authorities will never give US permission to resist this violent insurrection with force.
The Federal Protective Police which is part of DHS.
I am sure there were a lot of them inside the building if the antifa thugs managed to get past the guard.
Are Antifa Medics ranked on healthgrades.com?
A cop buddy of mine had a less than lethal weapon at a recent riot.
He said it was kind of fun to use. He was aiming at legs. The weapon shot pepper pellets of some sort and was accurate to a couple hundred feet.
Nice and soothing bed time story for the kids
I don’t feel one bit sorry for Portland or its citizens. They voted for their Moron Mayor and now they need to live with him and these ANTIFA & BLM thugs. Good luck, because you’re going to need it.
No.
It is time for the police to bring on the street sweepers (a modified 12 gauge shotgun that has a 30 round drum magazine that is loaded, if I remember correctly, with 00 buckshot.)
A row of cops using street sweepers would clear the streets quickly — and send the message: we’re not playing around.
I have always referred to the foot soldiers of these smart, evil organizers as the “good hearted gullible”. Every mass movement needs them to give the impression of broad support.
LMAO. One ‘badass’ snowflake down.
The rioters are doing this because it’s fun when there is little and/or no resistance. It will end when it isn’t fun anymore.
Local govts are making sure it’s fun for now.
The destruction of Portland is just sickening.
That Oregonians and Portlanders tolerate that is far more sickening.
This marxist / communist rebellion and insurrection needs to be put down. That it wasn’t put down 20 years ago and that led us to where we are today. It has so much more traction today and it is going to be a lot harder to put down. It’s not unlike the world standing by and watching Hitler gobble up Europe before September 1939. We could have stopped him at far lower cost of blood and treasure before he launched WW II.
What they SHOULD DO is lock up some of the rioters, and then say “Sorry, no bail hearings as it’s too dangerous for court to be in session. We’ll get to you when the rioting ends.”
Agreed, Parents should be held responsible financially. Teens should be charged with community service, say clean up all the graffiti for one block with a tooth brush.
8 hours a day, half an hour lunch break. Random Drug test and one year in Prison hard labor if parole is violated.
Let them work for a life under the same circumstances they have hobbled them us under for years.
I would take that as an attempt to cause ‘grievous bodily harm’ by blinding, and respond accordingly.
And the on site leaders place the girls in the front rank. They are hoping for injuries or worse as they feel Americans won’t respond well to seeing girls injured or maced. A nd it you view all vids like this you can see there is a female uniform. Black Tank tops or racing back tops, black shorts or leggings or denim shorts, black Cons or Doc Maartens, hair tied back in a bun.
Trump keeps saying he will do something. Let him get Barr to at least OUT those backers, political and financial. Let these street SJWs at least see who they are getting injured for.
Did a five year old write this?
Major retailers such as Apple who had their large store gutted have stated they will never do brick and mortar retail in Portland again. There are a lot more merchants who feel that way or who have been financially destroyed by the mobs.
