It’s been over a week since CBS News reported that things had returned to “mostly peaceful” status in Portland, Oregon as federal agents left the city. However, the Democrat attempts to blame federal involvement in Portland for any unrest in the city were undercut by reports from the police early this morning:
Officers are having rocks and chunks of concrete thrown at them. Individuals in the crowd are shining lasers trying to blind officers. The sound truck is issuing warnings and directions to those participating in the unlawful assembly to disperse. (continued)

We apologize to the neighbors who are disturbed by the loudspeaker on the sound truck. We know it’s late. We have to keep our distance to avoid the items being used as weapons against us.

It seems as if we were told something else would happen:
Remember when we were told this would stop when the Feds left. https://t.co/MhDc2EkSsG

I thought the “protests” magically ended when the feds left? https://t.co/IiDmRo1fu2

Didn’t leftists say that the only reason those violent rioters rioting & threatening to burn down federal buildings were because Trump sent the federal law enforcement??? https://t.co/bZgRS9k0c7

What gives, Mayor Wheeler?
Portland sounds like a dystopian hellscape, @tedwheeler
Good luck blaming Trump for this https://t.co/fAdfLX1ubP

All while politicians like Rep. Nadler and Sen. Hirono plug their ears and cover their eyes.
More peaceful protesting going down, I see.

That’s likely how the MSM will report it.
