Claim: Portland Police Shield Antifa Rioters as They Shine Spotlights in DHS Agents’ Eyes
Breitbart ^

Posted on 10/22/2025 10:20:21 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The president can send the National Guard into downtown Portland, Oregon, because the city police have protected Antifa attacks on a federal facility, says Harmeet Dhillon, the top civil rights chief in the Department of Justice.

Dhillon made her comment in response to a video showing Antifa rioters hiding behind city police as the rioters aimed strong flashlights at the federal officers guarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. The police cover protected the Antifa members from the pepper balls normally fired by security officers at the federal building.

Its a claim. Make sure it is on video if that truly the case. That seems a bit insurrectiony. More than people lingering around inside the Capitol.

Portland police can be arrested on federal charges just as easily as anyone else.

Dumb questions (tangentially related)

Do the Feds have the authority to ground the Portland PD helicopters?

In order for law enforcement to have exclusive use of air assets?

did you not watch the twitter video that Nick Sortor shot of the event?

The feds are shooting pepper balls at 2 antifa protestors, who are also shining high powered flashlights back at dhs.

They then run behind the portland pd who are on bikes, several of whom were watching what happened and antifa run behind then.. The portland pd then do nothing to antifa, while they continued to shine flashlights at DHS...

Then when questioned, the portland pd basically claimed they didn’t know what was going on and that anything was wrong....

The mayor and that Godless lesbian freak of nature governor are also protecting Antifa, regardless of any harm that they do. They arrest anyone who defends themselves against Antifa attacks.

Trump should call in the National Guard, to put a stop to this BS.

This is the modern version of Bull Connor, also a Democrat by no coincidence. When the Dems don’t get their way, their private military wing uses violence and the Dem-controlled state supports the violence.

At what point was obstruction declared not to be a crime? I don’t recall congress taking it off the books.

As always, the police (local, State, Federal) are loyal only to their paychecks, and obey the orders of those who sign said paychecks.

Ice should treat the Portland police just like Antifa when they act to shield criminals like this.

Portland needs to change its name to Antifaville.

Portland PD, useless to begin with, are completely castrated by the police chief, the mayor, the governor, and the DA.

It’s time for El Trumpo to go scorched earth.

anarcho-tyranny - When “the law is powerless to help you, but it can still harm you.”
When the state stops upholding its end of the social contract to use its monopoly on violence for its own ends.

The police cover protected the Antifa members from the pepper balls normally fired by security officers at the federal building.

Then fire 30 or 50 caliber armor piercing rounds.

Arrest, prosecute and imprison survivors.

My first thought is the TV ads about the fabulous strength of the lights you can buy have worked on the impressionable wokesters.

Training lights in agents’ eyes? As seen on TV.
