Black Portlander Changes His Mind About the Nightly Protests After He Attends One
Yupppp. What have I been saying regarding police impounds lately?
Best part, tow companies have a sorta pact going where they don't accept anything but in-person credit cards/funds... which means these fuckos don't get to use the celebrity support bail funds and shit, since they can't provide funds in person. Nothing over the phone, sorry!

Chief Best's letter to the City Council Regarding the tying of her hands in regards to crowd control: Letter to City Council Regarding Council Ordinance 119805 – Crowd Control Tools
This probably also goes in the defunding police thread but it needs to go in here too.
Chief Best is sending a letter to Residents and Business stating that under the new ordinance she cannot protect their homes or businesses.
I thought this was cute, in a sadistic way. Bending the knee to the mob just means you get walked on.
Radio host mocked Trump by claiming Seattle is peaceful, then rioters torched his apartment building

The Seattle City Council aims to cut SPD's budget by 25%. A specific council woman targeted the Patrol branch of SPD in her listed out items and would effectively eliminate Patrol.

I'm pretty sure the city council is adding fuel to the fire. Those commie fucks are doing everything they can to aid the rioters. When I find it again I'll post it, but in Portland the transportation authority wants to get rid of the barricades protecting the fed courthouse.
Commies are starting their insurrection and it's pretty obvious to see where their spheres of influence are.

It's spreading
Crowds launch fireworks at brewery, draw guns on drivers as riots spread from Portland to smaller Oregon city
One notable incident is when a driver and a bad actor pulled guns on each other

Does Patrol include Traffic Enforcement?
Madison police union issues vote of no confidence in Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway
Took them long enough. This was over-do from the Officers I know and have talked to in person.
There is also an active attempt to recall the Mayor, but I worry who we would get next.

Traffic is usually it's own unit, separate from Patrol...even in medium size cities.

Basing this off the Website, Patrol seems to be a separate division from Traffice.
Department Fact Sheet - Police | seattle.gov
SPD has 1440 Sworn officers, 755 of them are assigned to Patrol, Councilmember Sawant wants cuts that equals a cut of 681 officers specifically from Patrol. Effectively halving the size of the department.

Because having a productive conversation during a riot is an expectation for federal law enforcement in riot gear... I'm guessing he was expecting a "thank you for your service" with all the vet swag

You mean the same "wall of vets" that turned into a wall of vet bomb throwers? Hard Pass. They may be vets, they may be moms, they may be dads, but those protests every night have led to fire bombs being thrown at Federal property and others.
From last night for your viewing pleasure:
It appears Joe Scarborough has finally woken up:

Standing peacefully in front of federal officers with your hands down in a public space and speaking to them does not merit the disproportionately 'stupid prize' of being swung at full force repeatedly with a baton.

No, but when given a lawful order to disperse, particularly in the midst of a riot, and you instead choose to stand your ground, you can and should expect to be forcefully motivated to reconsider. Case in point. He knew what he was doing. Now, he reaps the consequences.

Unless your idea of a wall is a scrawny lone fence-climber who by a stroke of luck turns out to be a vet, not a single one of your links supports your claim that the 'wall of vets' 'became' 'the bomb throwers'.
Your envisioned scene would still make for a interesting movie trailer, though.

It's pretty simple, the rioters in Portland have been the aggressors. The footage is out there. The narrative that the left wing media that is pushing that they're peaceful is completely untrue. If you want to know what's going on, you need to follow Andy Ngo, he's sharing stuff in real time. Every day the fences are repaired around the court house. The officers don't sally forth from the court house unless the barriers are yanked down, which of course happens every night.
Their intent is clear, they want Federal Law Enforcement to mow them down, although under direct threat, the task force has not once employed lethal force.
If you don't care, then cool.

Consequences that do not justify a lack of nuance in interpreting the results and certainly did not merit responding with the degree of disproportionality exhibited by the recklessly full-forced multiple swings of the baton-wielding officer - and doubly so when in possession of far more effective non-lethal substances like the pepper spray that was finally used.
They, too, reap their own consequences in the court of public opinion.
Are you purposely trying to piss folks off?
