Veteran Speaks Out After Attack By Federal Agents In Portland | All In | MSNBC
A real veteran, lots of love
Blackwater never went away.
I hope not.
Trump is declaring war against the American people.
@Pete one That’s correct. Law and order will prevail.
@Pete one So why has all of the killing been carried out by the boogaloo boi ?
@john emeigh Absolutely! Meanwhile,we’ll watch Dem’s destroy their own environment and go to prison.
@Chuck Johnson What’s the Igloo boy? A video game you play?
@Pete one They get a lot of news. Most people, Left or Right don’t like it. They hurt themselves.
For every 1 person beaten there will be 20,000 more protesters.. Your move Trump.
@Leo No thanks, no Dementia and no Corn Pop, no socialism! KAG
@Dementia Joe Fingers
Oh grow up. Your irrational attacks are just getting childish.
Jock Young liberalism is a mental disorder.
@Dementia Joe Fingers PLUTOCRACY THEN !
GOT IT.
@D Don’t forget to inject disinfectant to own the libs!!
This man is the antithesis of Bone Spurs. Honorable and brave man! A REAL freedom-loving man! Please give him the medal of honor.
At the end of this he deserves a parade.
Cookie, Did you serve in Vietnam?
Ever wondered what happened to all those ex soldiers that Trump pardoned ?
Here they come !!🇺🇸😠🇷🇺
What a phuck is this country?! Beating navy veteran?!?!
These are not no ordinary run of the mill Federal Agents! No! These are undercover tRump Gestapo Forces un-leashed upon us & our Civil Right to Protest against tyrants & wanna be Kings!
tear gassed a bunch of middle-aged moms…great job trump. a winning strategy, most definitely.
i live in Portland and the protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful for weeks. trump is lying when he says Portland is out of control.
He always lies. He is playing war with american citizens.
Rob Johnson sounds like a huge load of BS, PICTURES AND VIDEOS DONT LIE!
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
80 years later, it’s here baby! Vote Trump & ALL his enablers out and vote for DEMOCRACY.
3LD, ANTIFA IS FASCIST!
When communism comes to America, they will call themselves liberals and be wearing Nikes.
@Dementia Joe Fingers
#MAGA logic: Antifa (anti fascist) = fascist
Perhaps the states should issue orders that anyone “presenting” themselves s law enforcement without visible identification should be arrested for impersonating a police officer. If they say” but we’re feds”, the response should be “then you should be readily and visibly identifiable, and without being identifiable as legitimate law enforcement, we can only assume that you are agitators, (you may have an ID card, but those are easily forged…) Until your “agency” formally identifies (admits to) you and bails you out, then you sit in jail with charges filed.
merle stewart yes, excellent, it’s time for the mayors and governors to stand up to these fascists.
This guy is an American hero, we must ALL take to the streets, before it is too late!
Portland is burning you halfwit
@KD eeZ
Yes, people on both sides have escalated things, which is exactly what they have been trying all along to avoid.
3LD get your head examined .
No hes a liar and told a different story on CNN. He also gave the federal agents the finger on both hands. He’s trouble.
This guy is TOUGH AS NAILS!!! I LOVE HIM!!!! Chris David!!! Medal of HONOR!!!!
Chris David is an American Hero! A Real American!
Notice the shot to the back of the head as he turned to walk away.
Nameless. Badgeless. “Law enforcement ” on your streets to help the mayors and governors from their own constituents without consent from the mayors and governors for assistance. Nameless badgeless “law enforcement ” sent by the “supreme leader “
Those idiot’s who attacked that Veteran. The veteran said that he didn’t know who those gentlemen were” gentleman’s? Nahh” those idiot’s were THUGS not gentleman’s.🤨
We need freedom loving people in Red states to flood the streets with protestors, otherwise these fascists authoritarian tactics will only continue and worsen.
Eventually the identities of these “federal agents” will be revealed, and mass criminal proceedings will begin. By exposure, individual charges can be pursued. Whether the US legal system is willing to stand up for civil rights is only is not certain, but likely to fail civil justice.
