People are all worked up about the feds but with the exception of taking and holding people for twenty minutes and letting them go they aren't all that different from the Portland Police Bureau. Portland will have to live with the PPB until there is meaningful police reform.

I hope people care about what's happening here after the feds go home because if it's a problem now, Portland had the same problems two weeks ago. Two weeks ago there wasn't a tenth of the coverage there is now and the coverage was much less positive towards protesters.

This is the kind of problem Portland has to live with. There is no real oversight or supervision of the Portland police force. It may have been 14 years ago that the police beat James Chasse to death but not much has changed.
