Because that's not equivalent to saying that Portland is completely and utterly free from crime, such that devoting a cop to babysit a small number of protestors is an appropriate use of police resources.

And yet she's trying to convey the classic "Nothing to see here!" message. As I said, gaslighting. What gives it away is that she was nowhere near the ICE building.

Why would she be lying?

Well upthread there were loads of posts about No evidence about rioting and what not, so...

It's also typically a civil violation, not a police matter - something that I actually have a little experience with from years of representing nightclubs on Miami Beach back in the day. Certainly not something to involve federal military forces to fight.

We all agree that no one wants federal troops there. The National Guard has better things to do that than stand there and have Antifa throw things at them.

The only reason this is a thing at all is because Oregon's leadership wants to make a political statement and they're willing to get people hurt to do it. Your problem is with them, not Trump.
