An unofficial Twitter page attributed to a group of anti-capitalist, anti-fascist teens who call themselves the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front said protesters want to establish the Chinook Land Autonomous Territory, or CLAT, in downtown Portland. The Chinook people include several indigenous groups native to the Pacific Northwest.
Portland protesters early Wednesday began to set up tents in the park near the federal courthouse and have barricaded streets to create their own autonomous zone, likened to the since disbanded Capitol Hill Occupied Protest in Seattle.
Demonstrators began erecting tents in downtown Portland’s Lownsdale Square, across the street from the federal Pioneer Courthouse, one of the federal properties Homeland Security sought to protect by bringing federal officers into the city two weeks ago.
They used stolen things to create the walls around their so-called autonomous zone.

Around 1 a.m., demonstrators “in an organized effort” left the barricades and walked to the Central Precinct “in an attempt to disrupt officers as they walked in from the end of their shift,” the police statement said. At that time, officers removed some of the barricades at Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest Salmon Street. But demonstrators then began returning to the area and “officers disengaged.”
Things escalated even more last night as rioters threatened to attack a federal officer who lowered his less-lethal weapon and drew a real gun on the mob!

Do you think that the federal officer did the right decision by pulling out his gun?
Scroll down to leave a comment below.
Portland mayor told feds to get out of his city...not needed
Not his call
Trump has hinted of major Fed move to restore order in the next week or so
I would much rather they be equipped with and display crew-served weapons.
If he did not fire for effect, he made a poor decision.
At LEAST 20 million of these Commie bastards need to be exterminated.
This is what they (Bill Ayers) said about Conservatives. It’s about time we said this about them.
CLAP
Better
lol
First thing I learned in C & C class was never pull your gun unless you intend on using it.
I don’t agree with pulling out a pistol in this situation. Grenade’s would have been a much better option.
When will the Department of Justice investigate and indict the Democrat/marxist elected officials who order police, sworn to uphold the law, to stand down when they observe rioters and thugs repeatly violate the most basic civil rights guarenteed in the Constitution?
Local citizens, business owners, workers, etc. need to get off their a*&es and ‘petition’ their community leaders and the WH, both. USE THE SYSTEM damn it!
Trump doesn’t need to walk into a gratuitous, avoidable, Liberal, ‘made to-order’ trap!!
The President can’t be conned into a black eye that will NOT resolve anything, and will ONLY harm his administration!
Kids today.
They’re pressing these officers looking for a confrontation.
The kids are the puppets of the Marxists.
We need men who WILL engage.
I don’t know but, If the local authorities said they didn’t want or need police, then the police ought to stand down.
Why should officers invite litigation or worse?
Autonomous zone. I remember when as kids we would build a fort. Is that what this is? Children building a fort?
They shoulda named it “Chinook Land Ignoramus Territory”.
These rioters/protesters/cultural Marxist aggitators... have NO rights in occupying land that they DO NOT OWN!
Police are hired to protect the welfare of the general public from mobs like this.
This will not end in a good way.
Just an aside... from living through the idiot protests of the 60s/70s and the marxist/hippie/socialist (nutcase) movement back then... these herds of bovine uselessness are being driven by “agent provocateurs” hrired by the likes of Soros.
Just my humble opinion.
Easy for you to say. When you have pulled the trigger and taken someones life, get back to us. If pulling his gun ultimately de-escalated the situation, then it was a good decision.
The only way these enemies of America is going to be stopped is by putting some real hurt on them. Nothing short of inflicting physical pain on these scumbags is going to work. They need to be defeated now.
