The Portland Police have been irreversibly brain washed with militarized training. Fire the entire force, and replace them with 200 peace officers who have been well trained in Japan. The City of Portland must forthwith withdraw from the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Take the money saved and give it to the poor.

Amandamania likes the Federal funding and military weapons for the excessively large brutish, police force, same as Chuckiepoo.

I think we need more protection from 'protesters'.

The protesters may be idiotic and annoying, but you don't rid house flies with a shotgun.

^ no, you rid them with chemical spray. Kinda like what the cops do.

People have the Right to Freedom of movement. Permits are an infringement. The time to use force, is AFTER somebody assaults another, NOT before. This is the United States of America. The PatRIOT Act is fraudulent veneer under colorable law. The City of Portland needs to withdraw from the Joint Terrorism Task Force, forthwith. This militarization of civilian police is an escalation of war by Fascists against the People, and it's coming to a head.

Let's make this real simple. Don't be telling people what the fuck to do, and then be whacking the shit out of them when they ignore the abusive bastards. People have had enough of this crap, and aren't putting up with it any longer. There are only one thousand Portland police officers, in this city with a population of more than half a million, and in the United States, there are ten guns for every man, woman and child. We don't need militarized police. The people are perfectly prepared to protect themselves.

^The police wouldn't do more than direct traffic if you wouldn't show up to every peaceful protest and start a campaign of chaos and property damage. Can't you ever just fuck with the cops without first breaking other people's shit?

Who broke anything? There have been incidences where vandals have run wild in the streets, and that's another matter, but property damage is a far cry from physical assault on other people. You still don't shoot someone for superficial destruction of property. The problem is that the police are incompetent to apprehend suspects, with empty hand techniques. The cops are more scared of themselves getting hurt, than in citizens safety. The police have no genuine self confidence. The are cowardly bullies who over react and with relish.

I'm just getting really tired of 'professional activists', who seem to jump on any well-meaning cause to disrupt traffic and also often look for confrontation with the cops as a badge of honor.

It might be mean to tease the chained up junk yard dog, but the Police need to be better than to over react. Besides, the Police harass way more people than there are professional activists who bait police. Turnabout's fair play.

^ "Turnabout's fair play."

Yeah, that sounds real clever. Too bad your super-effective "turnabout" gives the police a reason to further beat the crap out of someone. Tell that turnabout shit to Liz Nichols.

Professional activists ought to know the risks, as well as the potential multi million dollar rewards. Sue the City into oblivion.

"I'm going to bet that 100% of you naysayers have never done shit in your life when it comes to political advocacy. None of you have stood in the street as horse cops charge you, or bike cops beat your friends.

I don't go to protests like this anymore, because the violence by the police is legitimately out of control, and the next time a cop tries to use unnecessary violence on me or one of my friends, is the last time they're going to use violence on anyone. Seriously: I don't go to protests like this anymore because I will kill someone. Who did the cops decide to pepper spray first? The 5’ tall girl? Personally, I never shot at women, I’ve shot at people who are legitimately threatening me. Why pepper spray the young small girl? Because they’re dicks. That’s why.

That's how legitimately out of control the violence is at these events. I've been punched, hit, threatened, and beaten by the cops for doing perfectly legal activities, numerous times. You assclown posers are just pretending everything is fine in our world, and mocking the people trying to change it. Thankfully I’m quite sure that this same violence will be used against you someday, too.

Best of luck lady. Hopefully you get millions out of these fucking animals."

As the economy continues to tank and banks resume foreclosures, there will be a great many irate former homeowners out on their asses, with no place to store their guns but in holsters. Just go ahead and fuck with them, too. Not everybody's on Prozac, Bull Run's not fluoridated, and Cannabis is over priced.
