Business Insider: From Portland to Atlanta, mayors write letter condemning Trump's unilateral deployment of 'paramilitary-type forces into our cities'
* Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler sent a letter Monday to US Attorney General William Barr and Chad Wolf, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, opposing the deployment of federal forces in his city.
* The letter was cosigned by the mayors of Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, and Washington, DC.
* "Unilaterally deploying these paramilitary-type forces into our cities is wholly inconsistent with our system of democracy and our most basic values," the mayors wrote.
Mayors of some of the biggest cities in the US are condemning President Trump's decision to deploy federal forces in Portland, characterizing it as an 'abuse of power' for political purposes.
Last week, Oregon's two Democratic senators condemned the Trump administration's "authoritarian tactics" amid reports that federal law enforcement agents — in unmarked vehicles, with no discernible chain of command — were snatching people off the streets of the state's biggest city.

WNU Editor: I live in Montreal, and in 2012 we had widespread protests and riots that went on for months (check out the video below). I got tear gassed in one of these riots when I left a business meeting at the end of the day and found myself locked out from the building that I had just left while the mob and police were battling against each other literally a few meters away. It is one of those moments that I will never forget. Needless to say. The reaction of both the city and the province during these times were dismal. Just like what I am seeing today in a number of US cities and state governments who have decided to restrain their police forces and let the mob run amok. In the end, the protests and riots ended when the weather got cold and winter arrived. But for most of us we did not forget. And when all of these politicians and political parties who had been in power for decades ran for re-election. They were all booted out. Will the same history repeat itself in places like Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, etc.? We shall see.

Seems as though no law breaking affects liberals.
.Sen. Ron Wyden's other home: NYC townhouse on the market for $7.5 million
Did Wyden spend much time in his Oregon home?
Liberals have been getting more and more whacked. They might replace the faces, but their replacements will be liberals that talk a good game until they have been in 2 or 3 years and then they will rule as normal.
Short answer is yes they should be. The Federal Gov't has this great nifty police force called the US Marshals. They are specialists at taking miscreants into custody after they do stupid shit.
They get called in when the local government is proven inept at dealing with crimes against Federal property - like 53 straight days of flung Molotov cocktails, gator-aid bottles full of urine, trashcan fires, vandalism and hammer attacks.
And yes, they have the absolute lawful duty to swoop in in vaguely marked camouflage uniforms and unmarked cars and detain Marxist assholes after they've been ID'd doing crimes on Fed property.
Yes, it looks very scary and Delta Forcey. So people are freaking out about it.
"Trump's Secret Police!!" "Investigation!!"
Fear not, proles. You will no meet scary US Marshals unless you were out there doing recreational rioting upon Federal property.
FAFO,
R,
Why are we hearing reports from people inside these zones asking for help here; they exist!! All we get is stupid articles asking stupid questions or repeating insane ideas. How about some perspective here. Yes, defend the cities; how many tax dollars are we costing ourselves which could go to other things....like social programs - LOL!
Now is a good time to terminate the Department of Homeland Security.
Absolute, unaccountable corrupts.
Now, is a good time for DHS to apprehend you 7:49 and hand you over to the Chinese.
