Acting like the feds were the problem is ignorant. Portland police have been instigating for months prior to the feds coming in.

If the agents are gone and the police don't give a fuck anymore then why are people still protesting?

I mean people can now go and do whatever they want.

The people and systems responsible for the unnecessary deaths of unarmed minorities have still not been held responsible and brought to justice.

They'll probably drop from thousands to hundreds (edit: at least on the week days, maybe still thousands on weekends), but there are still people that want to protest.

Demanding 30% of police funding go to the community is one specific reason why they're protesting.

Not going to happen.

People can protest until the stars burn out.

People now are just protesting just for the sake of it.

Exactly.

Using the National Guard sounds conflicting.

This topic did not age well at all

Left-wing activists rioted in Portland on Friday night where they burned Bibles, set fires in the street, and tore protective boarding off of buildings.
The riots had cooled off on Thursday night as federal and state officers located inside the courthouse were not forced to leave the building during the course of the night, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.
On Friday night, rioters burned American flags and bibles in the streets outside the federal Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse in Portland.
