Riot 4: Rocky Vs. Ivan

tbf tho ~ if protesters are preparing shields, gasoline and molotov cocktails they're looking for a fight not a protest. Unless you think that's normal armament for a protest that's suppose to be peaceful

A good protest should be organized.

I have been in way too many that weren't and quite a few that were.

They stopped being peaceful when Trump sent the feds in.

Sending in untrained federal officers to quell a riot simply served to once again pour gasoline on the fire.

. thanks

Thanks for accepting the fact that not only Antifa exists, they are highly organized.

Unlike your hero Nadler.

There are protestors and rioters.

There IS a distinction.

doj bortac dhs don't care about the distinction. They accuse everyone of being a rioter.

And because of that, now more protesters are rioting. They have worsened the problem.

If you said that Trump sending the Feds in may have escalated it, I may agree with you but I also believe that the Govt should be able to enforce current law and be able to protect gov. property

So all protesters are antifa?

To some people, law only should be enforced depending on the letter next to the President's name.

Washington state officials confirmed Tuesday that a federal law enforcement unit is leaving Seattle after being sent to the city to quell ongoing demonstrations there.

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) and Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said in a statement that the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Border Patrol Tactical Unit has left Seattle after being deployed there “without the consultation or consent of state and local officials.”

“The president’s actions to target and ‘dominate’ Democratic cities through the use of federal forces is chilling. It has increased violence in Portland, Seattle and other cities across the country, which was what the president intended. Policing decisions in Seattle should be made by Chief Best – not Donald Trump, and we can rest assured that they will be,” Durkan said.


The officers were first sent to Seattle last week amid a wave of national protests against systemic racism and police brutality that was sparked by the killing of George Floyd in May.

The Trump administration has claimed the deployments were intended to restore “law and order” against “anarchist” demonstrators, but local officials panned the move as a provocation.

“This demobilization means Washingtonians no longer have to worry about the White House's aim to provoke confrontation and undermine peaceful protests,” said Inslee. “Those peacefully protesting have raised the public's consciousness of the urgent need for racial justice, and I have no doubt they will continue to use their voices to call for action. We must continue making progress toward a better and more just Washington for everyone.”

No, just the rioters.

Some are boogaloos and 3%s it seems.

It seems the federal troops have pulled out of Seattle.

Veni, vidi, vamose.

Actually.... when they burn the city down it's the Senate's fault.

Ask why are they burning it down.

Can’t help those who don’t want to be helped. If they burn the city to the ground, that’s on them.

Up North, the feds are leaving Seattle: They withdrew today after criticism from pretty much everyone—citizens, the mayor, the governor. Or maybe they saw SPD's brute force on Saturday and figured SPD could handle the terror themselves.
