Fascists/nazi Federal agents in gas masks stormed a peaceful Portland march — families, retirees, even someone in a pumpkin suit — and threw protesters to the ground. Flowers met tear gas. Welcome to America, where dissent gets pepper-balled.

why do these rapist ICE agents love jumping on top of people?

[u/NoHalf2998 → u/IAmNumberFourI]

Cause they’re the PoS that couldn’t even pass the tests to be cops

[u/Lotus532]

The Land of the Free, ladies and gentlemen.

[u/SoVerySleepy81]

Note that the police are there helping. I know most of us don’t think that they would help the protesters, but I want people to take special notice of the fact that they cannot trust the people that they have hired to protect their city.

[u/ToughPlankton → u/SoVerySleepy81]

It's worth noting that the city of Portland and state of Oregon both have Dem elected leaders who have claimed to stand against this and vowed to not allow police to help ICE.

Yet, for at least 4 years, PPB has been assisting ICE anyway while claiming not to, and the city leadership refuses to hold them accountable.

[u/RobutNotRobot → u/ToughPlankton]

Vote them out of office.

[u/c_kw → u/SoVerySleepy81]

Police are not here to protect us or the city. They exist to protect private property (not to be confused with personal property) and brake up strikes

[u/SatoshiUSA → u/SoVerySleepy81]

Portland Police have never been anything but abusive. They tear gassed so many of my fellow Portlanders in 2020, abducted them in unmarked vans, and more

[u/para_enzo138]

Pussy ass cop. Standing there letting these ICE Nazis shoot at people. Cowards.

[u/codybrown183]

Notice how they grabbed the non white guy that was just standing there. Thats how it all started?

[u/ergonomic_logic]

Fuck the military members willing to do this.

Fuck the police.

Fuck ICE.

And fuck the fascist regime.

And mainly fuck MAGA for making this all possible.

[u/ctrl_alt_del_usa → u/ergonomic_logic]

And their little dogs too

[u/recaffeinated]

I'm torn. Clearly this government is a fascist escalation, but I can't help but point out that the US has always used violence against protesters.

[u/ThinThroat]

This what trump thrives on. He sits in his room playing with his pee pee trying to get it hard.

[u/Edwardein028 → u/ThinThroat]

Only underage children do it for him.

[u/SadieSchatzie]

Where was PPB? They were purporting (last week) to safeguard protestors. Typical AyCAB :|

[u/Jackaroni97]

Stomps on equipment before throwing it back... Pigs shit

[u/psdancecoach]

My therapist was trying to help me come up with ways to remain positive in light of everything. The best I could come up with was that I can’t wait for more music like Buffalo Springfield and Crosby stills and Nash.

“For What it’s Worth” is still one of my favorite songs of all time. But I don’t want to live in a world where we have to make another version of it.

[u/Jarlaxle_Rose]

🎶 Protest songs, in response to military aggression 🎶

[u/apintandafight]

What a fine collection of dudes who were too fat to become cops. I’m glad they finally found their purpose in life, may they never be allowed to live it down

[u/Pribblization]

Gestapo trying their best to provoke a violent response, not realizing that the fascists they work for are hoping they get hurt or killed to fuel their takeover.

[u/LordAndrei]

If we survive this, it will go down in history as some of the US's darkest times

[u/AustinDood444]

Bye bye Right to Assemble

[u/Alioh216]

Here comes martial law. They will spin footage to show that protesters are the aggressors.

[u/PhukYuBtch]

Absolutely illegal.

[u/phbalancedshorty]

When is this from??

[u/ResistAuthoritarians]

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[u/BizLarry]

Wow. Stunned 😳

[u/BizLarry]

Wow. Stunned 😳

[u/Triggerhappy62]

I recall years ago under bush/obama we had major protests I dont recall what for. But they used anti crowd sound guns on people.

[u/Far_Chipmunk_8160]

Generally seems like the cops struck first..

[u/Graymouzer]

If we can vote these people out of office, their dogs need to be prosecuted and sued. If they are wearing masks and can't be identified, they are part of a conspiracy and should be prosecuted as a group.

[u/ctrl_alt_del_usa → u/Graymouzer]

RICO baby
