Attempted murder ?
And, all charges will be dropped immediately on all those arrested.
The cop who was hit seemed to run away.
The cop standing next to him seemed to have no reaction.
You know what...if the cops cannot defend themselves then they shouldn’t be out there. The Rules of Engagement with rioters needs to change ASAP.
Why doesn’t the black community object to this violence against cops?
“The officer was attempting to wrest his bicycle back from a person in the crowd.”
Police on bicycles is just nuts. Where are the horses? BIG horses intimidate crowds while bicycles make the cops look weak, ineffective and effeminate.
You never heard of a rioter taking a horse from a cop.
“Seattle Police declared the ongoing protest an unlawful assembly...”
This seems to be the latest policing fad — they have to use a PA system to “declare an unlawful assembly.” Why not just skip that silly formality and start cracking heads open?
I imagine that requirement comes from the namby-pamby ultra-leftist city councils.
In Portland, they will make that declaration ten to fifteen times before doing anything. It’s like the parent making the hollow threat to the unruly kid — “If you do that just one more time, I’ll...I’ll...paddle your bottom so hard you won’t sit down for a week.”
Shoot them.
where is the FBI ? chris Wray ? find out who is doing this who funds them
Without using proper riot control equipment, the liberal powers are allowing the cops to be “defunded” by attrition
Unreal.... I do believe that we are witnessing the Tribulation... .
I am suprised that a metal bat swung with that amount of force and hitting the back of the head didn’t at least knock the officer to the ground and leave him stunned or unconscious. Do they have flubber in those helmets?
Meanwhile, in Louisville and LA, police are being shot.
Bats are so last week...
now isn’t that strange, the day after a twitter post on hashtag portland protests that police leave their flanks open and to think of new ‘tactics’, that a cop is ambushed from the back?
It’s not a protest.
It’s not a riot.
It’s an ‘effing terrorist insurrection with molotov cocktails, explosives, cudgels, knives and guns, cutting comm wires, CCTV....this shit is straight from the Viet Cong manual....
Siege of Portland has lasted over 100 days, longer than the 1968 Viet Cong Tet Offensive.
The longer this is allowed to go unchallenged the greater the amount of force and violence becomes necessary to subdue and eliminate the threat.
The Dem mullah mayors and Governors are setting the stage for multiple Fallujahs.
F*** the optics! Think they’re bad now, wait until the necessary happens.
MSM is openly complicit as Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and all the rest of social media, they are NEVER going to relent in their efforts.
At least we know they batter is left-handed.
Systemic rioting.
Why the hell is that man still alive????
Rioters, looters and arsonists should be shot on sight.
