Portland I did what MSM writers tell us Not to do. . .started with a Place, because. . .freedom!
Perhaps MSM should focus on getting the Truth and Real News rather than giving advice!
So many riots in this city!

Here is one covered by CBS News which had occurred at the end of June 2018 which states,

Two opposing protest groups -- Patriot Prayer and antifa -- clashed in downtown Portland Saturday, CBS Portland affiliate KOIN reports. Portland police said failure to leave the area could leave to arrests, calling the demonstration a riot.

More than 100 members of Patriot Prayer group gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza for a "freedom rally," while more than 100 counter protesters with an antifa group gathered across the street at Chapman Square for rallies before a march. Police revoked Patriot Prayer's permit for the rally after the two groups began to clash.

People were lighting firecrackers and smoke bombs in the crowd while police used flash bangs in an effort to disperse the clashing protesters. Police tweeted Saturday night they used "aerial distractions" and not tear gas.

This rally was organized by the Patriot Prayer Rally led by Joey Gibson and this is what was said on the Prayer Rally side,
*Every time we have a rally as conservatives, as Christians, as people who love this country, they show up to try to want to harm us! .

Well I'm here to tell you, that I'm going to stand with each and every one of you!

I'm so excited, I'm so happy to be here with you, I will stand with you till the very end!

Another said, *it was a huge success especially since they got to pray several times throughout the entire city. *

We had a lot of speeches, it was peaceful, police did their job, and we had the mayor actually enforce the law!

*It was cool to get all these conservatives, libertarians, those who believe in free speech to do it in a peaceful way!

When asked about Antifa and the police, his response was,
They gave Antifa several warnings and they didn't, so we sat there and waited and watched. ..!

Antifa is seen in the crowd and in various places with name calling signs and "F" whoever or whatever! How are the peaceful again?

Sadly, even a reporter was injured due to Antifa's violent actions and you can see who is helping him in the crowd because we know Antifa supporter would Not have . Trump shirt on!

The reporter was injured, needed some help, bandaging, care and support which was provided by the Patriots as can be see here and in the video clip that is linked.

Another said,
*Today a bunch of *brave Americans came up, stood together without fear, to show us there are still people that believe in this country that still believe in the rights that were given to us by our forefathers!

We're not going anywhere! We're going to keep showing up every single time!

The more violent, the more harsh they get, more of a resistance they're going to build!

Others took note, the police were not chasing and flash-banging the Patriots!

Antifa even shouted that the Mexican and Black Patriots were White Supremacists and Nazis! Clearly some of their favorite terms they use to elicit more drama and hate from Anyone who chooses to listen to them rather than hear out the other side. We are to search a matter out, not just be toldwhat to think, say or do!

Even at the end, you hear Antifa heckling and harassing this group of prayer warriors, who were minding their own business simply practicing their freedoms and free speech.

Antifa was so hateful a reporter was injured. He was bleeding and needed care, which you can see in the video clip came from the Patriot side who helped him and stayed with him after he was attacked by the violence coming from Antifa!

What I have seen in watching various video clips taken from different people, Antifa consistently demonstrates hate!

They mock, goad, heckle, attempt to initiate trouble while consistently demonstrating violence.
Who has led and instructed them to believe all the laws that the rest of the citizens abide by don't apply to them?

Who does this remind you of? Is it reminiscent of the Deep State players, the vast corruption found throughout the elitist with large sums of money and so much power they try to control both the narrative while enslaving the population?

See one such clip here titled Patriot Prayer Rallies for Joey Gibson in Portland, Antifa Fights Back

Now if you read news coverage, you will find a completely different narrative where they have flipped it around to the patriot group. . .claiming they were orchestrating the violence and hate as Antifa was.

Never forget. . .this is one of their most used Rules for Radicals which states, whatever you are doing, blame the other side! Written by Saul Alinsky, who was a hero to both Hillary (wrote her thesis on him) and Obama!
MSM and left leaning groups employ his communist tactics consistently! They did the same with Russian Collusion. It was Hillary, Obama and their cohorts who were colluding to sell Uranium to the Russians and got huge kickbacks for their foundations and coffers!

Some of the latest of these rally's where the Patriot group was simply practicing free speech in a peaceful manner and Antifa came to disrupt, make noise, cause chaos and violence occurred recently (just this month). This caused me to go back in time and see what the Police Chief, Andrew Greenwood had to say about the violence and criminal behavior of these extremists who call themselves Antifa! There has been a great deal compiled by police departments on this known hate group whom the left and MSM attempt to make people believe are peaceful. The evidence shows otherwise!

This is what was said concerning a similar riot taking place at Berkley last year!
According to Chief Greenwood, this violence has been seen in his community and across the nation.

Extremists who target First Amendment activities, the events that Berkley police department is committed to protecting.

*The events that Berkley Police Department is committed to protecting are using new tactics, new weapons and a higher level of coordination than we've seen in the past. *

He tells how, * on Feb. 1st of last year, a large group of 100 masked extremists,*
stormed the UC campus,
attacked police with fireworks explosives,
violently assaulted people in the area,
vandalized and destroyed property in South Campus and downtown,
set multiple fires and through a lit flare into a downtown bank in an apparent arson attempt.

On April 15th dozens of masked extremists entered Civic Center Park.

During an otherwise peaceful event, and ultimately attacked others in the park as well as police officers.
Using a variety of weapons including chemical irritant sprays.
Explosive sticks of dynamite known as m-80's,

Many police officers while trying to protect the people faced the brunt of an m-80 explosion let off right in front of them!

This antifa group also used sticks, bats, bike locks and wooden shields.
Police officers were covered in an improvised smoke bomb in the park.

On August 27, yet another masked group arrived on the scene of an otherwise peaceful event, which had many more peaceful demonstrators. This event was across from Civic Center Park.

These extremists were accompanied by a flatbed truck loaded with weapons and shields.

Then these weapons were offloaded to mass extremists.

![Screen Shot 2018-08-07 at 10.21.46 PM.png()

This is one of the shields from the batch that came off of the truck.

Screen Shot 2018-08-07 at 10.23.22 PM.png

On the front is a sign, back has rope and foam handles so functions as a shield.

The speaker on the truck warned about violent confrontation by stating, "anyone who was concerning about violence should move away!"

This masked group formed a line of people with shields and without surrounding a person, set off smoke bombs and ultimately entered the park.

Screen Shot 2018-08-07 at 10.28.25 PM.png

They violently moved this person off their line before coming into the park.

Screen Shot 2018-08-07 at 10.29.54 PM.png

Members of the masked group, with these shields, attacked individuals in the park.

They are using these shields offensively!

It is important to note that extremists use other irritants and chemical weapons as well.

This was right across the street of Berkley High on August 27, 2017

Pepper spray being used again on April 15th in front of Berkley High School!

We've now seen over and over that extremists are willing to bring weapons and shields to the fray, and use them against those with whom they disagree!

We are police are charged with ultimately preserving space. So that the expression of First Amendment speech, peaceful and quiet, or boisterous and loud, and above all nonviolent can occur.

With each event we've refined our approach to crowd control with an eye towards public safety and our efforts
focused to arresting violent specific individuals in a crowd.

This challenge brings us here. These items on the floor were gathered after the August 27th and one item from April 15th.

Screen Shot 2018-08-07 at 5.25.49 PM.png

wanted them to appreciate what the police offices are dealing with and to see how severely limited they are.
Police only have battons, projective, smoke and tear gas to confront these large groups with coordinated efforts of these extremists who have launched violent and brutal attacks against officers and people, whom they have determined should not be allowed to speak or to publicly assemble.

Across the region and country, the use of pepper spray in large hand held aerosol spray cans is an industry standard tool for the effective intervention in violent crowd control situations involving direct, coordinated attacks on police lines.

Today's reality is unfortunately, we're facing the prospect of meeting a large, armed, coordinated group who are willing to use many things against police and those with whom they disagree.

As it stands now, our officers do not have the tools they need to address this threat. The gap in their tools has been brought into sharp relief, over this year's demonstration. The projectiles are ineffective against the shield, even small ones.

They were asking to be able to use a specific tool, with direct force upon specific people., so as not to cause cross contamination and irritants to innocent bystanders.

They were seeking to use pepper spray as an alternative to broad cross contamination and an alternative to the blunt force of a baton strike.

His point was that pepper spray is markedly more affective against shields.

What ensues when public comments are allowed, is a barrage of made up accusations attacking people's character by calling names and accusing of racism on no grounds of evidence.

Many defended Antifa's antics.

One even admitted they would do anything and the pepper spray would not stop them!

They say whatever they wish in anger with no proof, like white supremacy being sanctioned in the White House. Doesn't matter to them whether it's made up or not, they seem to know others love drama and will believe them.

They talk about the rights of women and LGBT rights, yet have no problem defending some of those in a culture that abuses both women and children and kills those in the LGBT community!

You can see this clip here titled
Police Chief Stands Up to Antifa at Berkeley City Council Meeting - Episode 2

On June 30, 2017 there was a Patriot Prayer Demonstration in Portland, Oregon.
Apparently Antifa didn't like this groups right to gather and have free speech.
In this video titled, Portland Antifa Burn US Flag at Patriot Prayer & Proud Boys Event - Brawl Erupts

Notice the difference in how the Patriot group addresses the police and interacts as opposed to the confrontational Antifa group.
