Anarchy In Portland

Can you imagine being a police officer in Portland right now?

80 plus days straight of being called a pig and getting rocks thrown at you while trying to protect and not cross the line.

PTSD is real.

Eventually their psyches will break down and at that point this could get really really bloody.

There are a lot of things I don't like about law enforcement and how it's done these days, but I can't really think of anything more maligned - and I come from a nuclear power background. When both lethal and non-lethal force is condemned and people decide not to comply, do we really want a cop to say "OK", turn around, and walk away? If it is a matter of law and what we think is appropriate and not appropriate, then look to the people who make law, not those who enforce it.

I cannot imagine trying to enforce law and keep the streets safe in an environment where the very people causing the disturbance are protesting how the police work - particularly when those are the people "protesting" violently and criminally in the first place. Certainly there's stuff to clean up in law enforcement, and they have their bad apples just as much as any other line of work, but people not of the criminal element (particularly the "news" media) need to figure out where their loyalties lie. Personally if I were a cop right now, I'd be on leave looking for a better line of work. "Playing piano in a ..." somehow comes to mind.

One thought I keep having about force and arrests is handcuffs or other restraints on both the hands and ankles. Somebody in that position walks away - shoot him with something more lethal than a 9mm or .45. As for the "press", I'd haul a bunch of them in for inciting riots - tell the whole story honestly, without selective examples, and a lot of this goes away. Freedom of the press like all other freedoms comes with a responsibility.

The words are just words. I feel bad for the people yelling them. It takes a mentality of possibly a 12 year old to think you're actually having an effect on another adult by yelling insults. A lot of it is homophobic too which I find interesting given how inclusive this is supposed to be. Speaks to who's in the crowd really.
I don’t feel bad for the people yelling at them and I really hope Karma rears it’s ugly ass head very soon.

I agree but imagine 8 hours straight of people yelling and screaming at you and degrading you.

At some point this has to get to you.
If you think about how pathetic the people are doing the yelling it makes it much more tolerable.

Like think about when you go to Athens and some Jim Jack that never set foot inside a classroom at UGA is calling you names. He spent his life savings on one ticket and his wife's at home praying the dawgz win or the daily beating will be worse than usual. I just laugh.
 
I love the dual, nearly simultaneous narratives that ANTIFA is the most dangerous threat in America and a bunch of "beta cucks." I feel like the old guy in the bank in Raising Arizona

Oh FFS it’s the women like you we fear the most! Duh! The “men” are not considered a threat.

That was rude of me. I shouldn’t have been presumptive and said “men” so how about “genetic males” instead.

The “men” are not considered a threat.

An accurate statement
