Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off.

Good. Snatch and grab these domestic terrorists... drop them off later at a hospital.

“I am basically tossed into the van,” Pettibone said. “And I had my beanie pulled over my face so I couldn’t see and they held my hands over my head.”

Awwwww. Isn't that just such a shame? For a “tough” Antifa thug, he is such a crybaby. You are lucky you didn't get shot buddy.
What kind of name is Pettibone anyways?
He has small bones?

Are you representing Antifa by any chance?

It isn’t just police. Any federal, state or municipal employee, from a mail carrier, to a fire fighter or a building inspector who observes a crime in progress or a criminal situation developing or having taken place is obligated to report the action or to intercede.

Exactly... could be annoyed patriots for all anyone can tell, but they could also be employed by the same billionaires that fund the protesters. This is more like a color revolution psyop.

But I suspect if they’re not actors those getting arrested would at least not behave like gentle lambs- they certainly never act so docile towards real cops [or patriots.] There’s always spitting, cursing, bottle throwing and/or feces flinging in real arrests and other rioters hurling any convenient object at law enforcement.

I’ll save the outrage for when these communist agitators get one way helicopter rides.

I think Antifa gets represented by the NLG.

The point of Gitmo was to handle unlawful foreign combatants...that is, ununiformed foreign fighters with no discernable responsible chain of command for which a state would be accountable.

It’s not a detention facility for US citizens even if they’re communists, jihadists, or other terrorists.

Demonstrators like O’Shea and Pettibone said they think they were targeted by federal officers for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.

Were these f*kers involved in the rioting and the looting and sheer destruction? You bet.

Tell me about it. Years ago I used to work in the home construction business. I was working in condo unit under construction and a couple of guys sparked up a joint. I said to them ‘’You’d better be careful, the building inspector is around. If he sees you, you’re busted’’

They laughed it off. I left the unit and went to another location on the site. Sure enough about fifteen minutes later I saw a cop car pull in. The two guys were busted. The building contractor I was working for threw their boss off the job.

I heard rumors this stuff was done in Vietnam. It was called half a helicopter ride.

Because they know who they are by monitoring their communications and where they are by cellphone location.

This aint rocket surgery.

ANTIFA aint the brightest bunch.

They are bypassing the mayor and DA and charging them federally.

They just arent advertising it.

Known for weeks now.

Remember those “when is Barr gonna do something” concern troll threads?

*grin*

Something is not right about that video.

Gun freely swinging on hip, not strapped to leg

No words appear to be spoken

Supposed perp just puts his hands behind his back without prompt

They do not cuff or search before placing in vehicle

Etc
