PORTLAND (Reuters) - As a U.S. Navy veteran, Chris David said he thought he would be able to talk plainly with federal agents in Portland and ask them why they were using unmarked cars to snatch people off the street during recent protests in the Oregon city.

If AntiFa had beat him, he would be dead now.

Former sailor turns against oath he swore to uphold. Yeah, my dad swore me in 53 years ago. My oath still holds. No doubt he was being all peaceful and stuff. Cause we know the PDJT SS troops will drop you in a heartbeat if you look at them wrong.

He would not have had this problem if he’d kept his ass at home where he should’ve been....

Nobody goes to those protests in order to conduct a dialog.
The police probably saw him as not following orders to disperse.

Those agents weren’t there to talk. It was a riot they were picking up suspects for questioning.

I’m sure his ‘agenda’ was totally innocuous and his demeanor unimposing and ‘demure’. /S

If you’re going to step out on the court with the big boys, you’d better be ready for a few elbows to be thrown.

Perhaps he could have asked Antifa and the Democratic City leaders why they are burning the city down?
