Militarized federal agents wearing camouflaged outfits took to the streets of Portland, Oregon on Friday in unmarked vans, grabbing and detaining protesters while unleashing tear gas in what state Governor Kate Brown described as a blatant abuse of power.
The Democratic governor of Oregon said President Donald Trump was seeking confrontation as a way of winning political points while also trying to distract citizens from his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Oregon has seen a surge in COVID-19 cases recently, while a number of other states across the US have also reported significant rises in infections.
Browns spokesman, Charles Boyle, said that detaining people in this manner is extraordinarily concerning and a violation of their civil liberties and constitutional rights.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) echoed the sentiments of Browns office. Usually when we see people in unmarked cars forcibly grab someone off the street we call it kidnapping, said Jann Carson, interim executive director of the ACLU. The actions of the militarized federal officers are flat-out unconstitutional and will not go unanswered.
Oregon Mayor Ted Wheeler joined the chorus of disapproval, demanding Trump recall the federal agents he deployed.

Rumor on twitter is that this was a rendition of a government informant back into safety.
Lot more people cheering than slamming.
As far as I’m concerned, this is war. Follow the rioters, looters, arsonists, vandals, murderers. Nab em. Interrogate them. Break them. They earned it all.
Yeah, because Crazy Kate is doing such a great job of encouraging the rioters. Portland is a ghost town and these two clowns are the reason.
In response to some comments here, I did some poking around. I thought I remembered something about it...
Apparently, FBI and DHS officially declared ANTIFA to be a terrorist organization in 2017. I spent about a half hour searching, only found 2 specific articles. (imagine that, can’t find info on something that makes the Trump admin look good...)

Don’t know what has happened since then, all the recent articles are about Trump announcing he would do this. Seems odd to me, if it’s already done...
Excellent.
Homeland Security did not stage a coup to try to remove the duly elected President of the United States in the person of President Trump.
The FBI did.
“May be a false flag operation...”
Or it may be a false flag operation to make people believe it’s a false flag operation. Keep everyone guessing.
Ahhh... the old false false flag trick.

From other threads. Sorry if my careless posting drove you to search for it in the OP. :D
No prob. The Barr transcript was a good read.
I’ll never forgive him for taking that 2nd scoop of ice creme!

True or not, a variation on this tactic needs to be used frequently:
Johnny Smith was arrested for setting fire to the Portland Federal Building. But thanks to the information he has provided us, we are now poised to indict thirty-five senior ANTIFA leaders over the next few weeks. Johnny is a hero, and we here at the DHS thank him for his service to the nation.
Then let him go on the streets of Portland. ANTIFA will soon find itself very short on loyalists. :)
Never tug on superman’s cape.
Made for TV. Rioters are cockroaches. They run and hide. This one stood still and surrender to whom? Notice the officers have no weapons drawn. Why not? They are not armed with weapons or batons. strange? Also lead officer gives hand/face signal to the filmers. It’s a set up. Why wasn’t rioter cuffed? Rioter enters van like a little kid not a manly rioter. As an officer you do not put a rioter in your van without cuffing so they can not destroy the van or attack the officers. Made for TV. HECTOR LIVES.
Lmfao.
Need some tin foil?
There was another video of the two “soldiers” getting into the mini-van. (Mom’s no doubt). The one “soldier” makes a sudden turn and step towards and leans into the photographer and then turns back to the car.
Reminded me of some teenage boy trying to scare his kid sister that no - she can’t some with them to the store.
