Federal forces sent into Portland [split topic]

Military cunts have also been taking protestors off the streets and into unmarked vehicles in Portland. Proper evil gestapo shit. No communication or ID.

Good point well made:

What people are forgetting is this is also a signal to the violent right wing Portland groups that they can buy this equipment & snatch people they want to target. This will lead to people assuming it's "secret police" behaving badly, when it may actually not be police at all.

City of Springfield pays $4.55 million to family of woman killed by police, in record settlement

The family of a 33-year-old woman killed by Springfield police in March 2019 will receive a $4.55 million wrongful death settlement from the Lane County city.

The family's lawyers say it is largest payout ever granted in an Oregon police use of force case.

Stacy Kenny's family sued the city after Springfield Police Sgt. R.A. Lewis shot Kenny, following several officers beating and using a stun gun on her. Kenny was sitting in her car and talking to 911 operators on the phone when Lewis climbed into her car.

Lawyers for Kenny's family say officers never told Kenny she was under arrest, ordered her to roll down the window or open the door or warned her they would be breaking out the windows.

Kenny, who had schizophrenia, was wearing a seatbelt and was not armed, her family's lawyers said.

Desiree LaBella, Donavan's mother, said he suffered facial and skull fractures. He came out of surgery early Sunday morning and was responding to doctors. He was moving his arms and legs, Desiree LaBella said.

"He was awake enough to give the OK to talk to me," she said. "He's had some facial reconstruction surgery. They're just watching him right now."

Desiree LaBella said she planned to contact an attorney Monday for a possible lawsuit on behalf of her son. She spoke to her son via computer late Sunday morning and said that while he was awake, doctors were monitoring his neurological condition and continuing work to drain blood from his brain.

Get to fuck. I would have fucking smashed that cop to bits, fuck the consequences. What a criminal cunt.

[BlodwynPig]

They've lost their collective minds. These, of course, are the uneducated drones in the police force, they act as automatons of justice. A justice corrupted to the core that allows brutality for lawful acts. Gangs of cops roaming the streets hunting their prey.

[Buelligan]

I find it incredible that no one out of all these violent anarchists has simply shot the fuck out of these cunts. 

Odd, isn't it?  They're violent anarchists bent on destroying whatevs at any cost, they have assault weapons available and yet these pigs are free to stand in the open, in serried ranks, without fear.  It's almost as if someone isn't telling the whole truth.

I can't think of a word that adequately describes my disgust.

After an hour in a holding cell, the handcuffs still on, somebody again put leg irons around my ankles, and connected the two with a piece of chain pulled tight around my stomach. Were we heading to Guantanamo Bay? A woman also under arrest kept saying she did not speak English and requested a Navajo translator. "I think you speak English just fine," mocked one officer.

In the van, the woman insisted on lying lengthways in the compartment she was in. I was squeezed into a tiny, claustrophobic section, perched on a narrow bench, trying not to slip off as the van sped through the city's boarded-up downtown, towards the jail. By this point, the so-called "belly chain" had become so tight I could not fully exhale. It felt obscene and preposterous to have to inform the officers I could not properly breathe, that phrase having become weighted with such power and resonance during the Black Lives Matter movement, echoing the gut-wrenching final words of George Floyd. But that was the situation. I could not properly breathe.

One of the officers responded: "If you can speak, you can breathe."

VIOLENCE DESTRUCTION HORROR ON THESE INSTITUTIONS

[Buelligan]

Or just take away all their money and make them face the consequences of their illegal and antisocial activities.

I bet the Stasi and the Reichssicherheitshauptamt would express a desire to pull their fucking necks in a bit if they could play that whole level again.  Justice is waiting.

Guarantee you that this is Trump's plan with the increasingly outrageous response (now random unidentified paramilitary guys in unmarked vans). He wants a ARE BRAVE BOY fatality shortly before the election, and then anyone who expressed the mildest support for Black Live Matters will be blamed.

I had to take a break from all this as it was making me incredibly angry. I decide to peep my head back in this thread and it seems things are just equally bad if not worse. The stuff happening in Portland is fucking sinister creeping fascism.

Further down that thread is amazing, like, IF YOU NEEDED A BIGGER EXAMPLE OF WHY PEOPLE ARE FUCKING ROPEABLE THAT LAWS ARE ONLY MEANT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT THE SYSTEM DOES NOT LIKE AND LEAD TO TRUMP BEING ELECTED, I dunno, you're fucked in the head.

Trump is directing these thugs, according to this:
https://www.thenation.com/article/society/border-patrol-portland-arrest/

Dated July 1, the memo is titled "Public Affairs Guidance: CBP Support to Protect Federal Facilities and Property" and marked "For Official Use Only." It describes a special task force created by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in response to President Trump's Executive Order on Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence. That task force, the Protecting American Communities Task Force (PACT), has been tasked not only to assess civil unrest but also to "surge" resources to protect against it.

The Portland arrest of Mark Pettibone, first reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting, followed several similar arrests involving officers from a Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—CBP's equivalent of a SWAT team—as well as the US Marshals Special Operations Group. A CBP spokesman confirmed to The Nation that CBP agents were responsible for the arrest, pointing to authorities under the Protecting American Communities Task Force.

And they're using......rental cars to help?
https://twitter.com/wweek/status/1284248983016140805

Department of Motor Vehicle records in a national database reviewed by WW show that a van used to whisk away a protester wasn't a law-enforcement vehicle, but a private rental.

Saw some guy saying they should be tasered, have their ankles and wrists tied and then be beaten with iron bars on the wrists, ankles, shins, elbows and knees, front and back, plus the back of the neck and base of the spine, hip bones and temples until they're either cabbages or locked in to fuck.
