The events in Portland & the plan to take it nationwide

[Slaughter None]

This is the definition of good advice.

It is extremely dangerous to give advice to people you don't know personally. Sometimes they take your advice with too much gusto, or they may do the exact opposite of what you advised.

That said, the take time off from worrying about the world, and do something you enjoy, part of the advice won't do any harm.

Even if a person doesn't know somebody personally their always is some general advice that can apply to everybody.

I guess. Would you appreciate some advice about use of the word "their" ... though?

No problem. They are already adults. We should believe that they have perfect judgment ability

[Vassenor]

Apparently gas masks and shields are signs of violent intent now.

It's almost like the protesters are equipping themselves in self defence.

This is about the worst possible advice! Thanks for that.

I mean in general not the Op but I can understand why you would think that.

I mean yeah, you know what if the LEO's throw their bottles back at them you need to protect yourself against that.

You're still living in this fantasy world where everything the Feds are doing is self-defence, aren't you?

No ofcourse they are not only acting in self-defense they are also protecting federal property.

The actual LEOs, the ones you're bitching aren't being brutal ENOUGH, deescalated the situation starting with stopping the tear gas. But then the HS Trumpstapo squads showed up and punted the hornet's nest.

Law Enforcement Officers.

Don't you dare object to my capitalization of Of

Could this all be a plan to make protesters and the general public like the real police a little better?

That would be ascribing altruism of any kind to Trump and everyone knows that's bullshit. The local police are actually trying to reduce violence.

No ofcourse they are not only acting in self-defense they are also protecting federal property.

And how does kidnapping people off the street accomplish that?

It keeps Donald's feefees safe from harm.

Let's see the Fedpologists try to rationalize this.

Portland mayor tear-gassed by federal agents, riot declared

[Ifreann]

There's a right and a wrong way to go about that.

Exactly. They need to flood the streets with Feds and local law enforcement and Arrest all the rioters and end it in one fell swoop

People are protesting because of the police. If you send out loads of cops to arrest loads of people, there will be more protests.

You cannot bring charges against people who haven't committed crimes so detaining protestors and passers-by temporarily doesn't really do much to address the social disorder occurring in Portland. Mind you, people caught looting, assaulting people, or trying to set government buildings on fire should be arrested but we haven't really reached the level where we need to call out the national guard, impose a curfew, or declare martial law. It'd just be nice if local governments did their job and Trump stopped overreacting.

You can't address social disorder by throwing people in jail, even if you follow all the rules that are theoretically meant to apply to who gets thrown in jail.

I'd hate to sound like I'm endorsing violence, but meh.

[SD_Film Artists]

Trump, a Republican, cited New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore and Oakland, California, as places to send federal agents, noting the cities’ mayors were “liberal Democrats.”

Yes, us Lib Dems have tentacles all over the world. Doing poorly in the UK election was just a ruse to bring you into a false sense of security

Trump is a Nazi

You are brainwashed, delusional and completely out of touch with reality.

Except the "protesters" are the aggressors. It's kind of like a rapist equipped with pepper spray claiming it's for "self-defense".

Protip: if you stop looting, burning down buildings and assaulting/killing people, you won't need to "defend" yourself against the police. Meanwhile, shooting at the police, beating them up with sticks and baseball bats and throwing bricks, Molotov cocktails and bottles of piss at them, might increase your need for those "defenses".
