Trump Threatens Cities With Feds After Violence Against Portland Protesters | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Considering that Baltimore has actually been less violent during these protests than it is most of the time, claiming the the city is out of control borders on comical.
And dangerous for the citizens!
Say it everyone and know it. TRUMP IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. USING DISINFORMATION, NO ACTION OR STALL TACTICS, COMPROMISE ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS AND RACIST DIVISION. POLICE BRUTALITY ALL AGAINST THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY.
Without markings, those officers could technically be interpreted as an invading military, which would justify the use of the national guard by states to protect the citizens. If they don’t want to be interpreted as a hostile military invasion, then they should be clearly marked.
From the pacific northwest here. To everyone watching and thinks these protesters just showed up organically that is incorrect. This same group has been ripping up Portland for years. Long before the George Floyd tragedy. The Feds surveil the rioters from about 30 floors up from the federal building across the street. They most likely have some great Hi-def video of what they did before picking them up. From what I can tell the governor, the AG, and most certainly the mayor have to support the destruction of their own city because it might look like they approve of Trump, it’s a catch 22. Integrity is out the window in Portland, it’s sad because normal people have to live there.
@Oceania 23 – Liar.
Steven Farmer no border patrol officer should obey such ridiculous orders as to go around violating the constitution six ways from Sunday in Portland.
@GusCraft460 STFU
You are out of your mind.
trump: “All run by liberal Democrats”
Absolutely no regard that this mess the country is in is His Fault!!!!! Thanks for provoking violence, provoking division and exciting people to Defend Themselves!!! From their own government!
It’s 100% his fault for the havoc happening in America.
@Ice 247 lol oh so Donald Trump kneeled on george Floyd’s neck killing him… causing criminals to riot…. great logic
@Ice 247 antifa was around long before trump
@Daniel Porter now you just making things up. Barr, not trump wanted to go to Lafayette park? You’re delusional. Watch the video, see how “violent” these protesters were. The criminals there the previous night were despicable felons, but not these people.

Divide and conquer he’s doing that trump is acting like a communist
Meanwhile there are mild criticisms and no objections, it’ll get a lot worse!
This is a part of Trump’s agenda to suspend the November elections. If he orders a national lock down dont be surprised. And then the citizenry will have to employ the US military to hold elections for his ouster. By these 2 things he will attempt to gain a dictatorship.
1. A run amuck resurgence of the virus.
2. Incite nationwide violence with his secret police that are really klan members that are in federal positions for a mass racial genocide. LOOK HARD AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING.
Or he will just claim the election was rigged and refuse to step down. He’ll call out his mercenaries and diehard supporters to defend the White House from protest mob.
I guess that’s why so many people are arming themselves. Gun sales are booming and not just handguns.
Trump is becoming a communist but not one is noticing it he reminds me of Kim young un
Notice how silent the GOP has been about this attack on first amendment rights.
its pitch and creams volumes.
John Cran, notice how silent Democrats were when Antifa and Blm were burning, vandalising, stealing and even occupying a certain city block? Notice how silent the media where when a woman was shot just for saying all lives matters? The hypocrisy of liberals are on another level.
Attack on civil rights? Those “protesters” are violent rioters who have been burning down buildings and attacking people! Throwing fireworks and bottles at police officers and assaulting random people is not a civil right! Of course CNN and MSNBC won’t show the footage of it or give you all the details.
Dipshits the only thing that’s protected are PEACEFUL protests, when people start breaking other laws (throwing commercial fireworks at federal buildings for example) it’s no longer considered a protest but a riot / uprising / attack on an elected federal government’s property. What you thought that was legal? The lot of you are crying children and weaklings.
@Imti Jamir yea and their conservative business partners
That vet is amazing. He didn’t even flinch when those thugs started beating him.
@George Schnakenberg That is complete nonsense, he was not helping a riot!
@George Schnakenberg You’re another delusional psychopath like Jeremy Christian. We’ve had enough of you trash coming into our city assaulting little girls and slashing veterans and patriots throats open when they ask you to stop. We exercise our 2nd amendment rights here as well, get fked briar hopper. Go home.
That little Nazi cretin with short man’s disease couldn’t even make him budge. That there is a veteran we can be proud of. Those Nazi terrorists, not so much. Homeland Security was created to STOP terrorists, not become them.
@George Schnakenberg looked to me like he was trying to talk to them
Well stop burning cities and looting. So you guys are ok with them looting doing this stupid crap but get pissy when they treated as they should
“Soldiering and policing, they ain’t the same thing” – Bunny Colvin
Never take advice from a person named Bunny. Obviously they are two different things and two different jurisdictions. Hmmm
Same as protesting and rioting.
@Micah Ferrin true
The Governor told cops to stand down or get fired..
If the Feds were not there these Rioters would have burned the Federal building down… wake up people. You really want these Rioters doing this all over the state.. Completely moronic to think this is Protesting..
This administration has sunk to to a new low. Not one peep from his Republican Party enablers and propagandists.
Frightening, absolutely frightening. You’d think you’re in Russia. It’s an unbelievable experience. One, I pray no one else will have to experience. Stop him now! 💯
I hope he destroys this country, u guys deserve it
@Marco Solis This treasonous statement is no surprise after all the Trump bootlicking you are doing in the other comments. We know where you stand.
@Freight Train STFU
People warned about this when the “Department of Homeland Security”was formed, in the wake of 9/11.
@0110100100F I’m glad they are I hate this country and the people in it especially the liberals
People warned that DHS would protect federal buildings and the block or so around it??? Gee…. You guys do know they’re not anywhere else in the city.
Mike Johnson These are fellow Americans, mostly demonstrating peacefully, protected by the US constitution. And you are most probably a foreign troll.
@Hanny Hawkins
Protesting peacefully? Good joke bro! Actually wheezing right now 💀💀💀
Let’s take a look shall we?
“Peaceful”, remember you said this exact word when watching these.

” Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade.”-Humphrey Bogart, Casablanca.
I love that movie
Emsley Wyatt ? Great movie. Stupid line for 2020
Those jackbooted agents dressed in camo who were clubbing an unarmed Navy veteran should be proud of their actions. What cowards!!!! Donald Trump’s gestapo.Is this the future of America?
They dishonor all our ww2 veterans! Who fought so bravely to end this kinda crap! They’re not real men, just boys!
As these “people” have no identity they must be treated as thugs, thus once they engage in any violence against citizens arrest them, preferably with lethal force.
Imagine the rioters trying to engage the “Unidentified Thugs” and then they pull out M4 Sopmods 💀 💀 💀
@Branden Lee they have no chance
The rioters was trying to burn down and break into a federal court house. They have a badge number on their left shoulder. They should of realized it’s feds when they threatened to break into a federal building.
@CashFlow 101 my AR and chest rig say I do.
“U.S. President threatens to send storm troopers to Chicago.”
A headline I never thought I would see, even in my worst dreams.
@GLADIATOR SHI’AR MVP Man you’re not that bright, Chomsky is a slavic last name, not a Russian word. There are Polish, Yugoslavic, Ukrainian and other slavic countries that have people with the last name Chomsky.

3:16 I’m glad the reporter made a reference to Augusto Pinochet’s Chile – the real 911.
Yea it was surprising.
@Matthew C It’s good reporting when a reporter can make a valid reference to an historic event that happened, and by the looks of it, is repeating itself in Portland
Mico Berta it’s going to start happening nationwide and in American overseas territories here pretty soon.
Alberto Mussolini, Adolf hitler, and Franco! And trump

When you vote for a clown, expect a circus.
When you vote for the Machiavellian Prince, expect a goon squad…
Now, the USA has both.
The circus is the thugs on the street breaking the law and burnin down innocent peoples business and killing kids.
@Randy E You got a point,
