ftr i still don’t know exactly what’s happening in portland, and am learning with the rest of you. there is however no shortage of articles on the chinese government harvesting the organs of the ethnic minority they are holding in camps, which is what i’ve been consumed by.
It's really not clear to me what's going on in Portland. It appears uniformed feds are performing arrests and detaining people in unmarked vehicles. That's either a big deal or a total nothingburger depending on the treatment of those detained & whether the arrests are lawful.
i saw a video, admittedly incomplete, of a guy being “arrested” by unknown agents who didn’t read rights. shoved the guy in an unmarked car. if that’s legit, it’s a kidnapping.
There's reason for alarm here, it's just that nearly every time we see this stuff there's a delay of a few weeks before the full context emerges & the general rule is that the situation either looks completely resolved or much worse. I don't think anyone can pick 'em in advance
It’s bizarre to realize how many people think the foundations of the just use of force are centered around whether the vehicles people are put in have government agency logos on them.
Check out the local journalists on the scene. @MrOlmos @tuckwoodstock @OPB @PDocumentarians @portlandmercury @Oregonian
Best example. Feds and Portland Police waited until @JoAnnPDX left before gassing people. I guess gassing a city commissioner isn't yet an approved tactic.
The mayor tied the hands of local police, so the Feds are arresting people participating in riots related to the Federal courthouse attacks. As someone coming from left of center, the fact that we let an unruly mob go on this long is insane to me.
