President Donald Trump deploying federal officers in Portland and beyond decried

Donald Trump sending TSA and Coast Guard officers among other types of federal troops to counter protesters in Portland and other cities is discussed by Tiffany Cross and a panel of experts, who see these tactics as designed to make a statement as people exercise their First Amendment rights.




One person was stabbed in downtown Portland early Saturday morning, police said, after another night of protests saw tear gas used on the crowd.
The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) said a crowd emerged outside the federal courthouse, at first peacefully listening to speakers.
About 11 p.m. Friday local time, people began shaking a fence while other people shot fireworks over it. Police then "attempted to disperse the crowd using various munitions," the statement reads.
    Federal agents also began a more forceful response to push the protesters back. Bright flashes and smoke filled the air along with the sounds of loud explosions.
    Live video feeds showed federal agents dispersing tear gas and flash bangs from behind the heavy metal fence set up as a barricade between the justice center and protesters.
    Before the tear gas was released, a MSNBC team saw a large crowd of peaceful protesters chanting "Black lives matter" and waving the flashlights on their cell phones in the air while listening to speeches.
    It was unclear if police or a federal agency released the gas.
    Hundreds of people remained along the fence attempting to pull or push it over while some attempted to cut the fence with power tools, the PPB said. People in the crowd were armed with gas masks, shields, leaf blowers, power tools, fireworks and lasers, the PPB statement said.
    Portland has had protests for more than 50 days since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
    President Donald Trump said federal officers were sent to the city to protect federal property, but protesters and local leaders have strongly opposed their presence.

    Liberal activists on Saturday have taken the next inevitable step in their descent into total lawless madness. They don’t just want to Defund the Police. They want public retribution exacted against federal and local law enforcement (and their families) involved in responding to the vicious and murderous riots against America in Democrat hellholes across the country.
    Amy Siskind, a famous writer and author who is published at places like the Daily Beast and makes appearances on TV and does other rich white privilege stuff, made this declaration on Saturday.
    “Maybe a wife and family,” writes the loathsome Siskind. “They should be publicly named – and of course held accountable when this reign of terror is over.”
    That’s as clear a threat as there can possibly be. Not the fake unsafe that liberals fret about, like having to write at a website with a fellow liberal who isn’t quite woke enough, but actual solicitation of harm.
    When Trump says the press is the enemy of the people, the press and people like Siskind have puppies over it and whimper in the streets about how he’s going to get CNN blown up. But Siskind spells out an actual and credible threat against LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THEIR FAMILIES and that’s totally okay with these psychos?

"I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
