People are worked up about the feds because whatever the PPB does, they still live in Portland, are paid for by Portland taxes, are bound by Portland municipal law, are subject to Portland legislation and have to live among the fine people of Portland. BORTAC shock troops are accountable to no one, will never face any repercussions for anything they do and are effectively extralegal.

This doesn't make the cops the good guys, it exposes that there's no real mechanism in place to deal with stormtroopers.
