Here's a really great article on this phenomenon if you're interested - they tie in history from other countries with modern day narratives we've seen in US politics: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/07/trumps-collaborators/612250/

Thanks, that was a good read.

This wouldn't have happened the local Portland government had any control over their rioters.

The only way I see someone thinking what the government is doing right now is fine is if they believe themselves to be protected from state violence. Typically, in fascist takeovers, people like that rue their naivety by the time fascism has been fully installed.

Yeah it's the old "the face eating monster won't eat MY face".

uh but he already did

these 3 were putting out fires and you claim they have the right to blind them for doing it ?

who already did? The guy who said no constitutional rights were ever violated?

Also please point out where I said they had a right to blind them. Do you have difficulty tracking conversations? If you have the time to respond to someone make sure you took the time to actually read what was being discussed first.

Im so surprised that you of all people are defending the secret police here. SO surprised

I saw a video of protestors blowing tear gas back at feds with leaf blowers lol

I remember when I got put in purgatory for saying that this specific South American guy who took part in multiple homicides and sadistic mutilations shouldnt be given asylum in the US before the thousands of others more deserving.

But this dumb shit is fine because agendas.

I call out the lunacy on both the right and left. Both spectrums literally are being overrun by extremism anymore. America needs more than 2 political parties because the polarization is getting out of hand.

if not for donald, the polarization would not be getting out of hand. There is a degree of truth in what you're saying but "bOtH SiDeS" doesn't work anymore, if it ever technically did. That's a cop out.

The interesting thing is that high powered lasers are relatively easy to make, and with easily procured materials

Seriously, you can find surplus materials for them all over the place, and they can be far more effective and harmful than conventional weapons in situations like these

I didn't even mention anything about protests, homeslice

These becoming a popular street weapon is a scary thought. Not sure how feasible that would be tho

If you're talking about random street violence I think everyone would prefer lasers to guns. No chance of lasers going through walls and killing unrelated 4 year old children.

It was not intentional. "Protesters" shouldn't be doing this type of ****!

strange how you believe this with no evidence at all yet require extended cuts of videos to exonerate cops tackling someone from behind then beating him up

Uh, there is evidence. Literally no idea what you're talking about, except to spout nonsense.

A federal agents hand was impaled by planted nails, another federal agent was shot with a pellet gun, leaving a wound deep to the bone, and tragically, three federal officers were likely left permanently blinded by the rioters using lasers pointed directly into their eyes, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Friday.The federal agents were hurt during a confrontation late Monday as a crowd of more than 1,000 protesters descended on the federal courthouse, Fox News reported.
In addition to targeting the federal agents, the demonstrators tossed fireworks at the federal courthouse, where one person also threatened to cut off the buildings water supply, according to the report.

i'm going to use your defense of requiring video, both with the protester and the federal police being shown. as well as needing plenty of time before the incident happens to make sure that it wasn't a form of self defense. pictures do nothing, and the administration has shown that they have no qualms about using pictures from other unrelated protests from other countries

Yea its a big conspiracy, even the Mayor is involved *eyeroll*

If you need the video, I can get it, but I would just take the L if I were you.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was caught in the crossfire on Wednesday night, explaining it was hard to breathe when he was tear-gassed after a meeting with protesters outside the courthouse

It will be amazing when you have a coherent thought, ROD

Maybe take a look in the mirror. Who the heck is ROD?

The mayor was caught in a chaotic display of violence and mayhem that began around 11:15 p.m., after protesters threw flaming bags of garbage over a fence protecting the federal courthouse, prompting officers to fire tear gas at the crowd.

Its basic correlation bud. And we already have the evidence. The white house reported it. But I guess in your world, the federal officers blinded themselves. This goes back to the whole conspiracy nonsense I mentioned.

no, I called him an idiot for assuming that when people talked about civil unrest due to constitutional rights being violated he inferred that those rights being referred to were the right to blind an officer.

which is stupid as fuck, like I said. So once again, track the conversation.

I'm still surprised people here are taking the WH and police departments for their word

I'm still surprised people think federal officers blinded themselves, and just made the whole thing up. Ignoring the fact the the protestors were literally there causing problems right beforehand

so now you're lumping together all protesters? and how does "throw flaming bag of garbage" = "lasers blinding secret police" add up?

and just because the white house has said something, doesn't make it true. they've lied previously about a multitude of things. from using images from years old foreign protests, to trump just flat out saying we have the best mortality rate in the world despite being nowhere close

and now you're suddenly having to veer putting words into people's mouths, saying that they blinded themselves when all i'm asking for is actual proof

Why are you guys talking to an alt from Jul 2020.

like, clearly hes just fucking with you.

So sorry that the perpetrators weren't stupid enough to film themselves doing it. We'll simply have to take the word of the VICTIMS WHO WERE ACTUALLY THERE.

Does it make it better or worse that it's probably his main account because all the rest have been shitcanned for chronic shitposting?

victims who haven't come forward so we can verify their injuries

and we've seen that the secret police can kidnap protesters later on when they're in much smaller groups so there's less resistance, so obviously they have some ability to record what's going on

seems weird that when it's a protester getting brutalized by police we need tons of evidence. but if it's a secret police we just need to take hearsay as truth

More official statements-

An official with the Department of Homeland Securitys Federal Protective Service said several officers sustained serious eye injuries after protesters pointed lasers in their eyes.
According to FOX 13, Deputy Director of Operations Richard Cline said officers were putting out fires set by protesters when they were accosted with lasers.

When officers responded to put out these fires, glass bottles were thrown and lasers which can cause permanent blindness were shined in their eyes, Cline told FOX 13. We have three officers who currently have eye injuries and they may not recover sight in those eyes from those laser attacks.

The secret police? The department of homeland security? The ones that have DHS on their shoulders? Who is the secret police?

Uh, they are federal agents. They wont be doing press releases, nor is a news interview a prerequisite to finding the truth. They already have the truth, which is why its been released.

Take the L bro. You've got two different angles that show the protesters side pointing a laser. You've got 3 agents in the hospital due to a laser injury. The math is so simple an orangutan could do it.
