“Fire bombs were thrown at officers, injuring at least one community member...”
Can’t bring themselves to refer to him as a fire-bomber, or rioter, or even ‘mostly peaceful’ protester, no he’s a ‘community member’.

Reuters labels them ‘protestors’.
So, Reuters would label Charles Manson, the Unabomber and BinLaden ‘protestors’, too.

The most used “tear gas” is O-CHLOROBENZYLIDENEMALONONITRILE, 96%. Or “CS.”
Let’s see...CS and fire? Interesting mixture.
According to the MSDS at this site, CS emits toxic fumes under fire conditions and firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

I’m not seeing a lot of gray matter in this.

"Over 50 arrested at the Portland #antifa riot on 56 Sept. The riot was organized & promoted by antifa ahead of time to celebrate over 100 days of riotious violence. They used firebombs & explosives in a residential area, causing one to be hospitalized."

At what point do police stop trying to just disperse rioters?
For the fist couple of weeks, I could see the strategy being that if the police just get them to disband, they will go home and not come back. Society has reached the point that they need to be locked up for a significant amount of time to understand that throwing rocks at the police and molotov cocktails is not going to be every allowed.
So, why don't the police or national guard push and move the crowd into a confined area where they can be handcuffed and transported away to a large federal facility for legal processing so they are fingerprinted, mugshots, and other information on them. At that point maybe a restraining order against going into downtown Portland between the hours of 5 PM and 9AM can be issued, so if they are ever caught again, or photographed being there again during another riot that they can be jailed on an easy charge?
