A little free advice to the Portland Police and protest leader(s):
Keep the two groups separate (even if the anti-free-speech side doesn’t have a permit, they will be there). Use barricades. Distance is not enough of a deterrent.
Armbands for the leaders, and participants must obey the leaders. No provoking the other side. Leaders should instruct their group ahead of time. There is a tendency for people to want their picture in the paper.
Stop the violence at the first sign it is going to start, e.g. if someone approaches the other side aggressively even if he or she had not assaulted anyone yet.
Have enough men to enforce the law. Bring in neighboring police forces if you think you need them.
Portland mayor and police commissioner: Do not instruct your police to stand down. If you do, and there is violence that is not controlled by the cops because of stand down orders, it is on your soul.
NAZI, KKK, IDENTITY europa, or ANY OTHER White Nationalists WILL NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE EVENT TOMORROW. LikeCommentShare
