I'm not ignoring them - they just don't support what you're arguing.
Right.
You say the police aren't doing their jobs. But then you post that they've been arresting people when they cross the line from protest to criminal behavior.
They're arresting some of the people. They're not dispersing the crowd and they're not doing anything to deter the crowd from forming in the first place.
But the most reasonable approach to those problems is almost certainly what the PB was doing - arresting people if they did anything that was actually criminal, but otherwise just let them protest and it will fizzle out over time. Which is what was happening; the number of people there had been declining over time, as folks just gradually lost interest.
No. These things do not "fizzle out over time" in Portland. Go look up the number of incidents they had from 2021-2023.
But that's the number of riots that are currently taking place outside the ICE building in Portland - zero.
Sure, if one chooses for forget all the riots in June and July.
This assertion:
You post videos of them shining laser pointers at ICE - but that probably doesn't constitute a criminal offense, so it's not clear what state troopers being on site would do about that. Etc.
...seriously takes the cake. I'll invite you to go look up what view the feds take on shining lasers especially at aircraft; hint: they take a dim view of that.
