I dunno, an unidentified thug in camos and heavily armed trying to kidnap citizens on the street seems very arrestable. I just don’t think any cops will actually do it.

I wouldn’t count on the PPB doing anything about anything.
Right. I was talking about State forces (not City) targeting a smaller group and swooping in. Let the court(s) determine who has authority to do what.

Someone told me once. He’s dead now. And I do not approve of this. That you get close to someone wearing body armor. And you shoot them in the crotch first. Can’t remember where I heard this. Probably a book long ago.
And then, even though they have flaps of armor down there, the pressure from the shot drops them. Like bang, on the floor, holding their crotch. Silly sci fi story.
That’s when you do two in the head. Just to be sure.
Cute story. Kids. Always full of shit.
My friend, that is.
Better off just shooting for the head to begin with. All these Gestapo wannabe’s have pretty small dicks.
Believe DHS when they say they’re going to take this national. Portland is a trial balloon and from their perspective it’s going swimmingly.
So now the fascist in charge, with no hope of winning the election, has his own private army. And based on what we’ve seen since these protests began, the cops are almost certainly cheering. Democracies fail all the time and ours is mighty close right now.

Hypothetically that would work because even a blocked round is akin to being punched really hard, if not hit by a hammer.
They also tend to be wearing helmets.
yes indeed, the kinetic force can break, or at least severely bruise, ribs even if you are wearing full plates in your body armour.

Also violence has begun as I was typing this.

Not really. It would take a long time for a criminal trial to get any results. And best case scenario is that a few low level chumps go to jail long after the damage is done.
Now you’re thinking like a lawyer!
Holy shit that’s one tough hombre.
Certainly I think they should do this. I just don’t think they will. There are too many reasons why a state might balk at directly opposing federal policy of this nature, with a chief executive who is a vindictive and criminal bully.
Damn. Is he some kind of terminator robot from the future? He didn’t even flinch!
Can he sue for for abuse? He was doing nothing wrong, and they just pummeled him. Also note, someone clubbed him in the back of the head when he turned around to walk away.
WOW, good point, I completely forgot this was also in Oregon.

Trump did not pardon Ammon and Ryan Bundy, who occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Their charges were dismissed after a mistrial.
Trump did pardon Dwight and Steven Hammond, who were convicted of arson in 2012. It was a somewhat controversial case: they served their sentence and went home. But in 2015, their original sentence was replaced with a longer sentence and they were told to go back to prison. Nevertheless, they were not responsible for the armed protest carried out in their name. In fact, they publicly rejected the protestors.
