The federal officers came in response to the repeated attempts to burn down the federal building, and, YEAH, it doesn't take a genius to think that the rioting would only get worse when the feds tried to stop the arson and rioting. Prior to that, the Portland police had pretty much let them have free reign.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        I think PS&T are very much hyper-partisan, Barr is not.
        It is true I have made a few mistakes over the years in terms of who said what - never is it intentional. But this most recent example is not that. You supported the gassing of the protesters under the pretense they were violent, even though you opposed the use of the Bible on the church steps. I was not differentiating between the two in the list you replied to.

          I'm not saying the violence was not there. I am saying it was made significantly worse, and that the overly aggressive actions by the federal forces intensified and enlarged the overall community involvement. And once again, you do not quote my entire comment where I made that clear. Perhaps you could be less deceptive in your replies?

          I also provided yet another example of the sort of overly aggressive response to black people that has fostered all of this:

            Hold it right there --- this "gassing of protesters" is the kind of crap language you use that is incredibly deceptive.

            under the pretense they were violent,
            Absolutely false. I do not oppose use of lawfully permitted chemical agents against rioters.

            WOW!!!! He got something RIGHT!!!

            The very language you use is so bitterly biased - you can't refer to the actual events without weaponizing the language. Nobody was "gassed".

              Actually, she said he was "special" which he took to mean he was her favorite.

              The rest of us knew that she meant special as in "special needs."

                Not just violence. Rioting, arson, looting...

                I am saying it was made significantly worse,
                Well, gee, let's see... a bunch of anarchists trying to burn down a federal building, and local police holding off...... then the feds show up and these anarchists are gonna do, what, "OH, we're so sorry officers, we'll behave now"?

                and that the overly aggressive actions by the federal forces
                A couple of instances were cited, and I clearly condemned them. "If it bleeds, it leads".

                intensified and enlarged the overall community involvement.
                "the overall community involvement"? What you're NOT seeing is the videos of local shop owners and residents who HATE this stuff, but don't want to be seen complaining because they are in fear of their lives from your "peaceful protester" buddies?

                Did you watch the video Rogue posted where the "peaceful protester" was whining about the mean "federal troops" who shot him with bean bags? He SWORE he was just standing there peacefully, and the cops shot him 6 times --- then they show the video of this same dude on the OTHER side of the protective trying to burn down the federal building just prior to that.

                And once again, you do not quote my entire comment where I made that clear. Perhaps you could be less deceptive in your replies?
                AH, here we go again.....

                    Not all that frequent, and they are mistakes, never intentional.

                    OTOH, never (except perhaps as an intentional and obvious joke) do I purposefully distort your posts or leave out critical content when which you do routinely.


                    Hold it right there --- this "gassing of protesters" is the kind of crap language you use that is incredibly deceptive.
                    It isn't deceptive at all. They used gas against them to disperse them. By some reports, both tear gas and pepper balls. Either way that they were gassed is simply a matter of public record.


                    Absolutely false. I do not oppose use of lawfully permitted chemical agents against rioters.
                    Really? Rioting -> violence. I said you used the PRETENSE they were violent to justify the use of the gas. Nothing inaccurate there.

                    rioting
                    /ˈrīədiNG/
                    noun
                    the violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.


                    WOW!!!! He got something RIGHT!!!
                    I in fact, get most things right CP. But to a fellow that thinks 2+2=5, most math looks 'wrong'.


                    The very language you use is so bitterly biased - you can't refer to the actual events without weaponizing the language. Nobody was "gassed".
                    Yes they were. Gas was used to disperse the crowd to make a way for trump over to the church so he could pretend his presidency and actions are somehow tied to the Bible. They were gassed to facilitate the photo op. There is nothing nice or non-violent or 'harmless' about tear gas and pepper gas. They just don't happen to be lethal. They were gassed.

                      Not sure if it's pathological. I'm pretty sure he knows when he's lying, it just doesn't matter to him.

                            So you support police pointing guns at innocent civilians out taking their children to play in a fountain? You support the police being able to at gunpoint detain anyone, anywhere, without cause or reason?

                            The were handcuffed, therefore - at least according to this website:

                            https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/police-questioning-miranda-warnings-29930.html#:~:text=It%20doesn't%20matter%20whether ,ask%20questions%20and%20use%20the

                            When the Miranda Warning Is Required
                            It doesn't matter whether an interrogation occurs in a jail, at the scene of a crime, on a busy downtown street, or the middle of an open field: If a person is in custody (deprived of his or her freedom of action in any significant way), the police must read the Miranda rights if they want to ask questions and use the answers as evidence at trial.

                            There were handcuffed and held at the scene.

                            Now, if the police have no intention of asking any question because they know the people the are searching and detaining have done nothing wrong ...

                            but that would be UNLAWFUL search and seizure.
