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?

I have a big problem with officers pulling their sidearms under these circumstances.
I would much rather they radio in a Daisy Cutter.
All of these hippies have unkempt and filthy hair. Time for the police to help them out with a good dose of Maple Brand Shampoo. I hear the Oak and Ash brands are also good.
Riot perforation.
A bunch of youngsters who cannot figure out whether they are anarchists or communists now have the Chinook Land Autonomous Precinct (CLAP).
Absolutely.
When confronted by a hostile mob, yes, always pull your weapon.
They are essentially cannon fodder and don't even know it.
Those instigating them don't care if some of them die.
” rioters threatened to attack a federal officer”
Don’t assume anything about me.
