He didn't have to say "violent rioter". That's so insensitive. He could have just said "Democrat operative".

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said federal agents in Portland “will not retreat” as law enforcement grapples with demonstrations and violent protests in Oregon’s biggest city.
At a press conference Tuesday, Wolf staunchly defended the Department of Homeland Security’s mission in Portland amid criticism over reports of officers in unmarked vehicles arresting demonstrators without identifying themselves.
“What is occurring in Portland in the early hours of every morning is not peaceful protesting,” Wolf said. “We have been forced, because of local law enforcement presence, to take measures such as arrests to protect our officials.”
“While I look forward to the day that our officers are redeployed back to their regular day-to-day mission, we will not shrink from our duty because of this violence,” he added. “If you are a violent rioter looking to inflict damage to federal property or law enforcement officers, you need to find another line of work.”
The remarks come as local officials request that the Department of Homeland Security withdraw after videos of protesters being snatched off the street by officers in unmarked cars sparked outrage.

Fort Sumter trying for an encore.
The so-called “news” media needs to ask the Democrat why they won’t use local leos to support the Fet defense of its courthouses.
“If you are a violent rioter looking to inflict damage to federal property or law enforcement officers, you need to find another line of work.”

Wonder if mace and pepper spray have any effect on covid 19?
Law Enforcement can manage peaceful protests. So these punks at “The Shill” can shove it. We are dealing with criminal rioters here.

I doubt Lincoln waited for an invitation from the Mayor of Atlanta before sending in Gen Grant.

The presence of federal agents on the streets of Portland gives protests new momentum, renewed focus
“I mean, that he can pick on our city mostly because of the way we vote and make an example of it for his base is very frightening,” she said.
I appreciated what Secretary Wolf had to say. First time I’ve seen him pissed.
Rioters? More like domestic terrorists.
I think we all know who is going to be “retreating” from Portland, even if they used to live in momma’s basement there.
Voting has nothing to do with the choice, genius! What about the people who are trying to live there? Commies/democrats are such congenital liars.
The statement was OK, but still not ready for prime time.
Here is what was not said, but should have been:
“Damage to federal property or attacking federal law enforcement officers is a federal crime, that will make you subject to arrest and confinement in a Federal Penitentiary and trial in a Federal court.”
(Then I would list the federal statutes that are violated, and the prison terms listed in those statutes.)

I always knew why they were made out of hard wood, but I think we might be finding out soon why they are a foot long and cylindrical.
But that might be an improvement for Portland.
