Lived in PDX for 34 years. It is my hometown. I have watched these protests for years. It doesn't take a genius to see that they taunt and harass the local police to insight the confrontations. They routinely disregard the direction of the police, vandalize property, and block traffic. ...and bring shame to their cause and my hometown. The local news is seldom critical of the idiot's antics.

..and EVERY single action that I have attended has ended in police-initiated riot so I have to assume that you and I have opposite luck or that something else lurks here.

God bless you, its nice to see someone post something positive. I bet 34 years ago the hippies got ruffed up by axe handles not pepper spray, kid gloves these days!!!

[smileycoyote]

..and that is what you and many take for granted: that dissent be punished..you reveal your biases nicely

This is why COPS ARE BEING KILLED IN RECORD NUMBERS THESE DAYS. ALREADY IN 2010 50+ Have been killed in just three months. And you know what I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY FUCKIN COPS CRYING LIKE BITCHES SAYING WHY ARE THEY KILLING US. BECAUSE YOUR A FUCKIN TARGET THAT'S WHY!!!!!!

IT IS SO FUCKIN FUNNY TO SEE COPS CRYING AT FUNERALS. WE DONT GIVE A FUCK LIKE YOU COPS DONT. EXCEPT WE DONT WALK AROUND LIKE TARGETS. DUMBASSES.

I'm sure you too can apply to be a policeman or woman and be a great one if you like.

[AmericanBornWest]

They just don't understand. Many kids who are incarcerated did not do well in school - have lower IQ's.

[AmericanBornWest]

Still hate Bush?

Are you saying there were demonstrations in the Dark Ages?

You have the opportunity to apply and be a good cop.  A perfect cop.

Ever heard of illegal immigration? Do you know that for each batch of the illegals they have to give jobs to a bilingual at higher levels in order to "service" them? This is in all state agencies. So, all Americans lose.

[aewester]

That argument is garbage. I'm sure there were millions of people in europe during the dark ages saying the same thing-- that they should shut up because some other people have it even worse.

[AmericanBornWest]

You must not have traveled much. There's a big country called China - the citizens can't post to the interent and can't leave.

[AmericanBornWest]

They are only "human" and don't make that much money considering what they do.
