The ACLU Foundation of Oregon on July 23 obtained an order from the U.S. District Court in Portland barring attacks on journalists and observers covering the demonstrations. The ACLU said that videos, photographs and witness accounts showed that federal officers shot three people clearly identified as legal observers in the head, neck and chest with non-lethal rounds such as beanbags or rubber bullets.

ACLU, you're diverting valuable time from your primary mission: hassling a Coloradan baker for not baking a particular cake ALL THE WAY UP TO THE FUCKING SUPREME COURT. Present-day ACLU = poisonously aligned w/ the new-fascist-Left, & deeply anti-individual liberties. F.U.

You mean fake journalists who participate in the rioting.

aclu is a joke. Rioters were arsonist who stabbed people, beat people, blinded people. msm hypocrisy

They must be staying at hotels across the city they're patrolling. Like a private investigator they should be followed until their identities are known.

Seeing how the journalists refuse to not mingle in the crowd , means they are intentionally trying to shield rioters with their 'protection' and as a result are getting collateralized

How about the rioters who have media or journalists on their clothing,? I’s nothing but a cover to riot with impunity.

lmfao 'journalists'

You mean the rioters impersonating journalists?

Let's defund and stop donations to the ACLU, they have strayed so far from their Core Values and have obviously been bought and payed well recently

The ACLU is a joke.

So basically rioters wearing shirts marked 'PRESS'................

The ones targeting journalists are rioters
