Police and protesters engage with one another in downtown Portland this afternoon.A group of protestors marched through downtown Portland this evening, expressing anger at Portland police in connection with a pair of police shootings over the last couple of months.
The group first gathered in the South Park Blocks, near Southwest Salmon Street and Park Avenue, and then began marching toward the Willamette River.
About 150 people took part, many of them wearing masks, calling out chants and carrying signs.
One of the most common chants was "Cops, pigs, murderers" while another was "When cops attack, stand up, fight back."
Police accompanied the group, using pressure to keep marchers on sidewalks as they walked through the city, past the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and then turned south on Third Avenue.
The protest was just the lastest of several that have happened in Portland recently in connection with two police shootings. One happened Jan. 29, when police shot and killed Aaron Campbell in Northeast Portland in a situation that started out as a welfare check.
The second took place earlier this month when an officer shot a homeless man in Hoyt Arboretum when the man advanced toward him with a knife.
Oh god, I’m never going to think of it the same way again!
“How come these people aren’t treated as a threat? They threaten to kill policemen - isn’t that the same charge leveled at those militia members?”
The Chinese have gunned down people for less.
Remember to use a silencer.

One day, just one day, the police will just all quit and let the idiots fend for themselves.

Bubye America.
Can do easy to make.
If you hate cops, next time you’re in trouble call the anarchists.
I wish I could find it, but Mad magazine had a satire about anarchists and hippies complaining about “the system”, and on the next panel it had them lining up for their welfare checks.
Fabulous!
Let's start with traffic, move on to the war on some drugs, and finish with the EPA and Obamacare.
The IRS will get wrapped up and go away in the process.
Yep. And then when they BEG, people will refuse saying “you wanted it so badly, now you have it!” The old fashioned “you made your bed so lay in it!” saying comes to mind.
Longview, WA used to be a picturesque, peaceful little town. Same with a lot of small cities in the PNW these days. The meth epidemic has wreaked havoc up here.
What does the tea party have to do with this?
This COMMUNIST SON OF A WHORE has a cousin named FIDEL CASTRO ODINGA and went to Kenya in 2006 to campaign for his commie cousin Rail Odinga (FIDELS DADDY)who lost the election but set his supporters to murder the winners to the point that they agreed to share power.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS PARTY ARE COMMUNIST MONSTERS.
Prepare accordingly.
A supporter of the presidential challenger Raila Odinga (OBAMAS FIRST COUSIN WHO HE CAMPAIGNED FOR) in Kibera, a sprawling slum near the capital, Nairobi.
In other news that is being ‘downplayed’ in the region:
‘Portland police say pipe bomb caused big boom’
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/03/portland_police_discover_pipe.html
That’s all folks...move along..nothing but a ‘big boom’ heard from miles away:
‘The explosion was so loud, it was heard as far north as Vancouver and as far east as Boring’. And this is the second time this month that this has happened.
But move along folks....it was only a ‘loud boom’.
According to the fire bureau spokesman:
“They probably think they know what they’re doing,” Oswalt said. “But we could end up with a fatality or some very serious injuries if they keep it up.”
Oh..ok...We should feel better now that we are told they probably know what they are doing.
Move along...there are some right winged ‘teabaggers’ running around protesting high taxation and a growing socialist government...(eye roll)
*sigh*

YO — Eric Holder. Please send your minions over to Portland to squelch this “seditious conspiracy”! Get to it, Mr. Holder — dispense your fair-handed, color-blind Justice like only YOU know how. We'll make it easy for you — you can find them RIGHT here on the map:
We expect indictments for the whole lot — all 150 terrorists — by week's end! < /sarc>
