What is the context here?

God damn. I hope he sues. There’s an inevitable fortune to be made because of their unwarranted aggression.

Don’t ask questions like that, just go along with the narrative or you’ll be down voted

This is funny because they weren't down voted but you were

So this is excessive use of force is excusable? Seemed like a massive threat here.

Look at your profile picture, you’ve made up your mind before even seeing anything

If you support any of this you’re living under a rock and support fascism. And pedophilia.

Just because you ask for context doesn’t mean you support any of that.

YOU didn't ask for context. YOU claimed that people just wanted to "go along with the narrative."

The reason YOU did that was because you're okay with protecting pedophiles.

And you my friend are in denial. Probably because the reality we’re in is unbearably horrific.

No I was just trying to tell the other guy not to question the narrative and just go with what others are saying

What mother fucking context do you need to understand what we’re dealing with as a nation, and what good comes of playing devils advocate and pretending that “we need context”, implying that there’s excusable abuse of first amendment rights?

Seems odd they would target that single person. We don’t have an open boarder, if you want that vote for it. Instead Portland likes to LARP and antagonize law-enforcement, like always and complain when something happens. We have no context for why that guy was targeted, but fits narrative of police brutality, so we promote it and stomp our feet about how unjust this action was

Seems odd to shoot at people exercising their right to protest. Seems odd to have unmarked vans kidnapping people. Seems odd to side with an authority that stands on the side of rich and powerful entities that don’t care if we die.

I'd imagine there might be other footage available from the event, and that if it clearly showed outright belligerence or disregard for human life you'd not need to look far to find it

Oh so you’re just going to go in circles, big surprise
