Portland’s police (some of whom have been identified as 3%-ers yet managed to keep their jobs) respond to any protest like robocop. See stories like when they pepper sprayed a baby during Dubya’s years. By the time Trump’s goon squad arrived, protests were basically 40 people arranged around a federal building. The numbers rose to the thousands because of the goon squad. No one mentions the kid who suffered permanent brain damage for taking a tear gas canister to the head for holding a radio. The wall of moms that was brutalized and tear gas trying to protect young people from being brutalized and tear gassed. Or the time portland cops basically flossed their teeth while antifa and Proud Boys brawled in the street. Or the time Proud Boys terrorized a northeast Portland neighborhood, while Portland cops (ALL of whom were listed as “on duty” that weekend, raking in the overtime) were nowhere to be found. Or the kid who was hit and killed by a car leaving a bar by fascists, and the cops that took over two years to make an arrest (and only did so due to media pressure). One fascist was killed related to Portland protests, and a squad of Trump’s goons literally rolled up to the property that man occupied and executed him in the street. What happened to Portland in 2020 was utterly insane.

The Portland Police Union is one of the worst organizations in the country. Their entire history is just repeated instances of fuckery. Founded by a literal goddamn Nazi.
