Two years after an attacker shot five volunteers before a Black Lives Matter march in Portland, Oregon, killing a 60-year-old woman and leaving one of her young friends paralyzed, a new visual investigation of the attack reveals that the assailant tried to provoke a stand-your-ground situation, daring three women to fight him, before suddenly opening fire when they refused.

    It speaks volumes to their attitude.

    They wouldnt let the ambulances in before they showed up acting hostile. Spun it to the national media as if they were asking for it, etc.

    And these protest were about the police racist gross misuse of their power and authority. Murder is not an acceptable form of justice.

    Sure, many people have become anti police, but largely only because of the police own horrific actions. So they’re whining, and playing the victim card. You know, more behavior that justifies people being sick of the police

      Absolutely. My point was that it shouldn’t matter to the police whether or not they were anti-police because they should be doing their job regardless.

      Of course, they don’t because they’re pigs, but anti-police protesters should not be treated any worse by police because of that.
