"Portland Police encourage people to stay off MAX tracks for their own safety and to put back all of the rocks they are picking up from the MAX tracks. People in this crowd have repeatedly thrown rocks at vehicles and police throughout the night."

"Portland Police are giving repeated announcements for people who are continuing to block SE Stark near Ventura Park to disperse and get out of the street."

"Fire bombs were thrown at officers, injuring at least one community member. Police are trying to restore peace and order for the safety of this neighborhood."

"Police are making repeated announcements. This remains a riot. Members of the group have thrown Molotov cocktails injuring at least one community member. Failure to disperse may result in arrest citation crowd control agents including tear gas and/or impact weapons."

Fire bombs should begat live rounds.

“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’.

"Over 50 arrested at the Portland #antifa riot on 5–6 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?
