Protesters asked to leave or risk arrest after Portland Police Association office is set ablaze

Authorities asked protesters near the Portland Police Association office to leave Saturday night or risk arrest.

"This event has been declared a riot. Move to the east now. If you do not move to the east you will be subject to arrest or use of force to include crowd control munitions. Leave the area now," the Portland Police Bureau tweeted. It said protesters broke into the Portland Police Association office and set it on fire. In a separate protest near the federal building downtown, protesters could be seen dismantling a heavy metal fence set up around the building earlier as a barricade. Just hours earlier, police said the Federal Protective Service will not work in the Portland Police Bureau's incident command center after masked, camouflaged federal officers without identification badges arrested people protesting racial inequality in the city.

The Federal Protective Service will not use its command center starting Saturday night, according to Portland police.

During protests on Friday night, Portland officers and other law enforcement officers, including those from federal agencies, worked together to respond to disperse crowds, Portland police said in a statement. The federal officers worked under their own supervision and direction, according to the statement.

Seven people were arrested after protesters took a fence and barricaded the federal justice center, blocked streets, refused to disperse and threw projectiles at officers, police said.

The US Attorney for the Oregon District has asked for an investigation into the incident involving the federal authorities.

The request is aimed specifically at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel who have been captured on various videos arresting protesters and putting them in unmarked SUVs.

This event has been declared a riot

The word riot will be the next word to be tossed down the Orwellian memory hole. It clearly has racist connotations.

This US attorney thinks he’s a liberal mayor.

Stop asking. This is part of the problem. Children need to understand consequences.

So the lesson here is if you commit arson you will be asked to leave. Absolutely hilarious!

Back in the day the response after being asked to leave (for doing such things) would usually be given out of a reddened, teary-eyed, nose-dripping-blood pie hole.

...people protesting racial inequality in the city.

Nice try CNN, but everyone knows that's not what they are doing.

The civil war has started

Yes, it has.

Arm up, Americans.

PREPARE to be UNCIVILIZED to the UNCIVIL. Your LIFE and this CIVILIZATION depend on it. Do not put yourself unnecessarily in a tough situation. THINK. - PGalt

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away...

CIVILIZATION

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Ayn Rand

Think of the UNCIVILITY of the lie. The LIE is the WEAPON used most often by the CRIMINAL.

One way to start asymmetric warfare...WHO participated in the lie?

Tawana Brawley? - white boys

Chrystal Mangum? - Duke Lacrosse team

Michael Brown? - Cops - hands up don’t shoot

Jussie Smollet? - Trump supporters

Bubba Wallace? - Nascar - f’n rednecks

Barack Obama? - Bitter Clingers

and on, and on, and on...

Amplify the lie.

Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?

Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying.

Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength.

You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Weapons of mass destruction?

Covid-19?

Arm up, citizens.

Ready - Aim - Vote

YOU’RE FIRED

MAGA

The ‘rat/rino party and their surrogates are MAX EVIL. You know WHO they are by the LIES that they tell. Face - Words - Deeds.

MAX EVIL. Pit family against family, neighbor against neighbor, business against customer, friend against friend, city against suburb, black against white, FReeper against FReeper, etc., etc. It’s working. Pay people to turn in their brother...$oro$-like.

They were “asked to leave?”

How sweetly polite. How about smashing their skulls until they do??

Why is it called “civil” war, when there’s nothing civil about it? Maybe that word needs to be scrubbed.
