Cops murdering Black people is never a stain on law enforcement as a whole.
White mass murderers are never a stain on white people as a whole.

One incident does not create a stain on an entire movement. One incident is one incident and while that single incident should be condemned it does not create a stain on entire movement.

typo somewhere, title doesn't match text; regardless, not unlikely that provacateurs are involved, antifa makes it easy for others to impersonate them for less altruistic motives, for reference, look up the Minneapolis 'umbrella man'.

So they create them, then disavow them? Well if they know their names and want them held accountable, let's see some actual action by calling the cops and giving them up. Useless platitudes don't fix a cracked skull, or contribute to holding violent thugs accountable.
By the way, I'm holding onto a screen shot of the "TonyVang" comment above as an example for people of the kind of individuals burning Portland down because they have opinions about stuff. Keep it classy Tony.

"Volunteer medics"? Those idiots were rolling the victim's limp body in the street, ignoring his possible spine injury, and dousing his head with water while screaming "racist." Medical science has sure taken a strange turn.

If you watch the live stream Demetria Hester, the BLM Wall of moms Organizer, was there with them.

Poor fact reporting here - “Elisha Warren, another organizer with Moms United.....It wasn't a baseless concern: Two weeks prior, another truck driver accelerated toward a crowd of protesters during a rally in North Portland, barely missing the group.” There is an extended video of the one referenced and it clearly shows a pickup trying to be stopped and cut off by a motorcycle which was thrown in front. When protesters converged and hit the car, the driver speed off with the motorcycle underneath. Judging by what happened to the latest driver he did the correct thing to save his life.

"If you're dumb enough to run your mouth at the protesters you're going to get what's coming to you."

Hmm, that sounds familiar...

From "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson
"DODD HAD BEEN HOME little more than twenty-four hours when another attack occurred against an American. The victim this time was a thirty-year-old surgeon named Daniel Mulvihill, who lived in Manhattan but practiced at a hospital on Long Island and was in Berlin to study the techniques of a famed German surgeon. Messersmith, in a dispatch on the incident, said Mulvihill was “an American citizen of a fine type and is not a Jew.”

The attack followed a pattern that would become all too familiar: On the evening of Tuesday, August 15, Mulvihill was walking along Unter den Linden on his way to a drugstore when he stopped to watch the approach of a parade of uniformed SA members. The Storm Troopers were reenacting for a propaganda film the great march through the Brandenburg Gate that took place on the night of Hitler’s appointment as chancellor. Mulvihill looked on, unaware that one SA man had left the parade and was headed his way. The trooper, without preamble, struck Mulvihill hard on the left side of his head, then calmly rejoined the parade. Bystanders told the stunned surgeon that the assault likely had occurred because of Mulvihill’s failure to offer the Hitler salute as the parade passed."

OTOH, protesters were potentially legit threatened by dude in truck, in that case he may have got what he had coming? if u weren't there u prob shouldn't infer too much from what u read on teh interwebs (or the PPB spin on it). Motorists can get crazy dangerous with their vehicles if they are delayed or otherwise object to your presence, I've seen it myself right here in PDX on group bike rides and at the 2003 protests against the 2nd Iraq war.

Comment #9 offers a 180 pivot which implies protesters are the 'nazis', LOL!
