The US military is protecting the Portland federal courthouse under attack tonight by antifa black bloc militants. They rushed out and made an arrest here. Antifa have been trying to set the building on fire for hours.

Cops and the Military are two different things. Maybe the original poster should ask the admins to change the header of the post.
Rushed out but made no arrests. I guess our Mattel soldiers dont have any bullets.
SHOOT THE MFERS
Yea, but you said this;
Totally fake video.
What's fake about the video?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Produce yours.
Watch the video.
The headline was taken directly from the Twitter post.
Yes, their shields do say “police,” but some are dressed in camo. I found that confusing, too, but I can’t find more info.
That is not extraordinary proof.
That is a cop-out. If you want to talk ‘fake’, it is your post and your cop-out. You are behaving completely lame. Are you a Democrat Underground plant?
If it’s Portland, I say let them burn it to the ground. Build a wall around the entire city. No one gets in or out. /spit.
Summer of love baby!
yea it is time for the military to surround say san diego and go house to house and remove all illegals, tell the country those that leave now will not be put on a work gang building the wall as a sentence..watch the exodus//
this country will need marshall law for regular folks to be able to continue to work, no blocked streets etc,,,
Mr President save this country declare marshall law and restore the rule of law
Does the headline match the video. Us at FR should be better then that.
Fair enough.
it seems a lot of people are confused as to exactly who the uniformed officers are. from some of the replies at Andy Ngo’s twitter feed:
The Federal Protective Service, US Marshals, SWAT
Andy, not the military. Probably USMS SOG along with FPS.
Might be a Marshals SOG group... part of their (USMS) mission statement is to protect courts.
There were larger demonstrations in other parts of the city - I do not think it’s the National Guard. This has been going on for 35 nights straight, sometimes till dawn. The mayor is the police commissioner and he is a Leftist fool.
whoever, it is unbelievable that any City officials would be supporting such behaviour by rioters.
the Oregonian article posted mentions:
“Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty also called on Wheeler and Police Chief Chuck Lovell to implement several changes, including banning tear gas for any reason and advocating for charges to be dropped against journalists arrested while covering demonstrations.
“On Thursday, a judge issued a 14-day order to exempt journalists from Portland police orders requiring protesters to disperse during declared unlawful assemblies or riots.”
makes it sound like the “journalists” are part of the protests.
Andy Ngo excepted, of course.
Notice the lasers and blinding strobe flashlights.
Just one arrest? They’re not trying very hard.
Dont think its the military
Folks please, it is martial, not marshall. It just really irks me to see that.
SHOOT THE MFERS
LOL! I say bring our the Water Cannons loaded with SOAPY PEPPER SPRAY. Hose the dirty things down good.
The police are there to protect the criminals from us.
Martial law is not the solution you’re looking for.
