The federal agents deployed to Portland, Ore., amid nationwide protests did not have riot and mass crowd control training, according to an internal memo that was circulated at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and obtained by The New York Times.

No "riot control" training.... oh, wait, these are "peaceful demonstrations," not riots, so why would they need riot training?

Boo-freaking-hoo, NYT. Suck it.

These law enforcement officers didn’t engage in crowd control. Their tactic was to identify leaders of the revolution and make strategic arrests. They made a decapitation strike.

Exactly, they are there to arrest people, not control riots.

An earlier Sunday thread showed a Youtube video of regular police clearing out protestors to the theme song of Rawhide. What, exactly, is the relationship between the Feds doing their arrest raids and the Portland police finally being allowed to clear these guys out of the street? It can’t be a coincidence that it was the same week.

Training? They throw a rock, you shoot them. Not much different than any other form of combat.

debunked
NYT first mentioned BORTAC units, then mysteriously forgot to include them in their next story. Conveniently forgets that Fed Dept of Corrections are experts at ‘crowd control’ and ‘riot’ techniques, and the Federal Marshalls are also experts at riot control - having been involved in just about every riot anywhere in the USA in the past 50 years.
From the NYT-led hysteria, you’d think the government sent in parking lot attendants.

If it really does show local cops doing thei jobs, it could be the fact that the feds showed the locals that they could actually do their duty. However, when the local judges and police bosses let the thugs go, that is not a good message for the local cops. I am also wondering whether federal judges and prosecutors in that area will do the right thing.

No training in riot control?
And the problem is?
Did the federal troops that have been deployed so many times to quell insurrections throughout out our history have “training in riot control”?
We don't need no steenking training in riot control.
Personally, I am all for shooting these Antifa terrorists when they threaten the lives of other people.
To: blueplum
Did you miss my point that the media is claiming that the mobs are not rioting while also complaining the feds are not trained to handle riots?

I just wanted to show the obvious contradiction in the article’s claims.

Or threaten anything!
I have zero training in "riot control" but could put a sudden end to the careers of many terrorists!😎
