This sickens me. If this doesn’t wake people up I don’t know what will.

Welcome to FR. And I dig your screen name!

Why would anyone send a report to the Portland police. They are following orders, but their political leadership is on the other side. They would likely track down whoever sent the report while the Mayor gave a gold star to the demonstrators.

Shameful. Shameful. Shameful.

[Sacajaweau]

Absolutely disgusting.

Agreed...great Freep Name!!!

George Washington may have been a slave owner (legal at the time) but he also did many great things he should be celebrated for. Apply their logic that once a man does something they find morally reprehensible it defines their whole life and apply it to George Floyd. Holding a woman at gunpoint is of no consequence because someday in the future he may do a good thing.

Agreed. Let us hope that it wakes up those who have remained silent, while radicals seek to destroy our heritage.

They can turn these filthy democrat big cities into Dresdens as far as I am concerned.

Popular Mechanics has published a how to guide to tear down statues. It even references the Statue of Liberty!! Implying that The Statue of Liberty would be easy to take down.

“The Statue of Liberty’s copper sheeting is only 3/32 of an inch thick, for comparison.”

"Anyone with information about individuals who committed criminal activity at any event is asked to share that information with the Portland Police Bureau."

After all the statues are down do you suppose their fury will be appeased? What next?

Well there are plenty of pictures hanging in museums that show Jesus as white, and those are easier to destroy than statues.
