    Random observations:

    Many of the jack-booted thugs are probably ICE folks that aren’t used to dealing with citizens with video cameras.

    This was a strategic error for DHS. They’ll never get the Trump stink off of themselves and they’ll pay for it when the Dems control government again.

    Trump poured gasoline on a dwindling flame. Too stupid to realize that? Or is that an electoral strategy?

      Good, dismantle it. Wasn't it formed in the flurry of histrionic over-reactions to 9/11?

      Education is extremely important.

        In other words they are calling for a massive govt re-org. This is electioneering. Under Biden there will be a multi year study on what to do.

          Remember when the ACLU was supposedly apolitical?

              It’s aim is to keep the protests going. Give a nice simple mantra. Of course only Trump can incite riot.

                Portland Police: 'We Wish There Were Some Kind Of Organized, Armed Force That Could Fight Back Against Antifa'

                alt text

                PORTLAND, OR—In a press release earlier this week, Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw (her actual name), appearing somber and exhausted, said she just wishes there were some kind of group with the firepower and authority to fight back against Antifa.

                In a candid moment, Outlaw (seriously, her actual name) said there was just nothing the police could do, as they'd need to have some kind of organized, armed force specifically created to protect and serve the people.

                "Like, what if we took money from everyone to fund a force that could then defend them in a time of need?" she pondered aloud. "They could have patrol cars, firearms, and attack dogs. Maybe even some tanks. That would be so frickin' rad. They could have a badge to show their authority. Then, when a rogue group like Antifa shows up to take over our city every weekend, they could be repelled using force if necessary."

                "I know it sounds crazy, but a girl can dream, right?" she added wistfully.

                Sadly, there is no such force in Portland, so citizens have been forced to turn to an even crazier idea: taking responsibility for their own safety and well-being, and maybe even buying a gun to protect themselves.

                "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  The goal was good, to coordinate reponses and efforts between law enforcement, CIA and FBI. The reality I do not believe has ever quite lived up to the intent.
