Portland police under fire for harsh treatment of Antifa (Awwwww!)

There was another Patriot Prayer rally in Portland this weekend and Portland police are being criticized this morning by the ACLU for their rough treatment of Antifa. From KATU:

The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon said Portland Police Bureau’s response to Saturday’s protest was “completely unacceptable” in a statement it issued Sunday.

The Police Bureau is under scrutiny after some protesters reported they were injured when officers used “less lethal” force to control the crowd.

Now, police say they’re conducting an internal investigation to see if officers followed bureau policies.

Even Kathy Griffin is upset:

Weird huh? Usually the cops target the conservative "hoodlums" or just stand by while things unravel. And to even upset kath-ee griffin. Well, until bet middler weighs in I'll hold my final thoughts in reserve. Oh. No I won't. Awwwwwwwww.

Paintballs filled with blue leather dye and itching powder comes to mind.

It should be open season on anybody wearing a mask while engaging in violent crime.

No daily or possession limit.

There is (I’ve mentioned in past) a underground Antifa movement in Ardsley NY that has already infiltrated the local high school. According to a source on the NYPD this group of sub-humans has set up shop in a small suburban town to stay out of the reach of the NYPD. They are able to operate freely in Ardsley due to a subservient village who have been fooled by these scum.

Like the “media”, the DNC’s Gestapo can dish it out but whine when it’s their turn to get some of what they dish out.

"Portland police under fire for harsh treatment of Antifa..."

If it didn't involve some pepper spray body wash administered liberally with a mahogany sponge I call BS!

If it was anything less than crew served automatic weapons then it wasn’t enough.

Call the Feds. Unleash the lawlessness of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on their ass. They would love to infiltrate the group and lead them by the hand into federal crimes that they will be arrested for.

When antifas throw rocks, fireworks, bottles, etc at the cops, it tends to irritate them to the point where they stop caring what their political overlords ordered.

They’re also allowed to be sued for not protecting people from Antifa’s violence.

ANTIFA, the domestic terrorists, ANTIFA, conspired to violently disrupt a group of legally, permitted, peaceful, demonstrates. They conspired and planned to accomplish this with violence. The terroristic organization of ANTIFA has a history of utilizing deadly violence against other individuals and groups of legally peacefully protesting persons for the single reason that they, ANTIFA, do not agree with their words or political point of view.

The domestic terrorist ANTIFA cowards want to impose their political beliefs on others by use of force against legally gathered peaceful citizens.

How in the hell can anyone object to Law Enforcement stopping the illegal and violent terrorist acts of ANTIFA?

If ANTIFA is allowed to continually and violently silence all political voices except those they agree with then there is a problem, the original problem.

When our original fight for free speech occurred we were fighting the British, and we won. As now, it was not the city folks who fought and defeated the anti free speech bastards, it was the men, young and old, who came from the rural areas where raising livestock and crops was their way of life.

We will again fight for our freedom of speech, and we will again win.

ANTEFA, if you are not total sissy mommies boy cowards bring your $hit out of the cities where you are politically protected. Have the balls and honor to stand behind what you preach out where there is some risk of doing so.

When you do, if you can find the courage to do so, have your clean up crew bring lots of body bags. We will waste none of ours on your sorry communist asses.

Sure, tough talk, but in reality the entire USG is on their side including the DOJ and FBI.
Remember Charlottesville?? The entire media complex including Sessions, and many republicans came down on POTUS for calling out the ANTIFA agitators.

Sounds like it could be war between the Portland police department and their Antifa-enabling mayor.
