Police, protesters clash as US cities endure violent weekend

Protests took a violent turn in several U.S. cities overnight, with demonstrators squaring off against agents outside a federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, forcing police in Seattle to retreat into a station house and setting fire to vehicles during unrest in California and Virginia.

A protester in Austin, Texas, who was apparently armed with a rifle was shot and killed after witnesses say he approached a car that had driven through a march against police violence. And someone was shot and wounded in Aurora, Colorado, after a car drove through a protest there, authorities said.

The corporations and individuals funding this violence should be held liable for every life lost, every livelihood destroyed, every penny required to recover from property damage and lost productivity. Make them pay.

Oh my. The police retreated then set fire to vehicles? What kind of police are these?

Setting fire to vehicles and assaulting police is not protesting. It's vandalism, assault, destruction.

More and more our "journalists" show their true colors.

Are the drivers involved in these shootings during protests “driving through the protest” accidentally or are they purposefully trying to be in the middle of the protest. It must be very frightening to turn a corner and unexpectedly find a big protest.

Every demonstration/protest that I have been involved in required permits and specific locations. The March for Life in DC has more than 100,000 people every year. Participants are all peacefully marching in the streets which were were closed in advance. The very few policeman involved at all were only for allowing traffic to cross periodically.

Today’s protests are not peaceful demonstrations. They are unlawful assemblies.

“Protestors” Please, the real protestors stopped protesting 2 months ago. These are domestic enemies of the USA trying to topple the country.

"Police, protesters clash as only Democrat-run US cities endure violent weekend"

There, fixed it.

Bank of America is the worst. They have pledged $2 billion to Black Lives Matter Inc. Let them know what you think.

“Know the Enemy
This is part one of a three-part series briefing paper on the radical left group, Antifa, looking to overthrow President Trump and our Constitution.”

Pretty pathetic when the only place you can get truth like this is from a website called Ammoland. We absolutely do not have a press in this country anymore. What we have is a propaganda network for enemies of this country. While they attack us they have their own public relations firm called the US media, it’s outrageous. Since the cops in these democrat run cities are being ordered to stand down, maybe it’s time patriots all over the country organize, get armed, and move into this cities to take them back. Wouldn’t that be something, a couple million patriots armed and ready. Let’s see how eager the Antifags are to fight

Agreed—notice that even the “respectable” conservative journals haven’t published this type of detailed analysis—naming names, identifying tactics, explaining weaknesses.

We are on our own.

Protests took a violent turn

Took a violent turn? What a pant load. These rioters have always been violent. They are just amplifying the frequency because not enough news coverage has demanded that their calls for capitulation be acknowledged.

The rioters see that they have to start taking or making casualties to forward the revolution.

Trump needs to exercise control over this situation. I hope he gives a serious speech outlining the case against these rioters and have law enforcement experts to back him up. He also needs to do something like declaring a national emergency or at least designating Antifa and BLM terrorist organizations.
