It's clear now who the police, across the nation and in Portland, favor when it comes to civil disobedience and demonstrations. Black Lives Matter and those who support them are treated like criminals, even if all they are doing is shouting. Proud Boys and Trump supporters are allowed to bring weapons to demonstrations, fire pepper spray and paint-balls, start brawls and drive into people. They are treated with respect and gratitude by the cops. They get water and gentle treatment. You don't see them being thrown on the ground, while women BLM protesters are brutalized beyond reason. We taxpayers are not paying to have the police, PPB or others, side with one political side. But it sure shows what we can expect if Trumpettes show up to intimidate voters at the polls, doesn't it?
