Thousands of peaceful protesters marched in the streets of downtown Portland this week, much as they have for the last 60 days, chanting familiar slogans like"Black lives matter" and"defend Black lives."
Conspicuously missing from the demonstrations Thursday and Friday nights were dozens of federal officers who have usedTensions have largely calmed since from policing the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse — a deal that Oregon officials hoped would ease friction between law enforcement officers and protesters who vowed to continue demonstrating until the agents left.after the Trump administration sent officers from the Department of Homeland Security to protect federal property. Prior to the agents' arrival, protests focused on police brutality, systemic racism and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Protests outside the U.S. courthouse escalated each night for much of July, beginning with peaceful marching, chanting and singing and ending with tear gas after some demonstrators began throwing fireworks at the courthouse or attempting to breach a steel fence. On Wednesday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced that federal agents would reduce their presence in downtown Portland and hand over crowd control to state and local police. Homeland Security officers were not seen Thursday and Friday nights.
What a load of bullshit.
Will you interview this woman?
No- opposite is true. Watch MrAndyNgo.
You just have to remove the white supremacy plants out of their. They cause the damage and the looting and violence! It was proven here in Las Vegas, it was proven in Minneapolis!! They join only to begin violence and disruption!
The Federal Officers are there to protect federal property and to keep the peace, not to oppress protesters. They are seen on video arresting people violently and people are justifying the videos saying that they are abusing power. Fact is, people can film and cut the truth!
It's like they don't know how to de-escalate situations that can put everyone, including themselves at risk.
Anyone who isn’t a blinded ideologue knew this would be the conclusion. The Dumbass-In-Chief sent provocateurs and then used the reaction as justification for needing more provocateurs.
ALRIGHT! Once Everything's Back to Normal, POLITICAL SANCTIONS Can Be Lifted! The Government Are Our Parents when we as adults leave the nest! As Adults, you gotta know when to Hold 'em! Know when to Fold 'em! Know when to walk away! KNOW WHEN TO RUN! You NEVER count your money..
What a BS headline heyNBC Stop being a democratic party mouthpiece and tell the truth then again your news is stop being a democratic party mouthpiece and tell the truth then again your news isNothing but crap
Still not showing how these rioters are STILL attempting to burn the courthouse down? The media operates on old-school video game principles. If it's not on the screen, then it doesn't exist.
Why have the protesters not gone to city hall for changes in Portland after 60 days
Peaceful because they now know the alternative.
So KAW & ORDR are efficient’? Tell that to the idiot democrat leaders
So... It isn't the evil leftists eh? Shocking
They were not peaceful BEFORE the feds were there.
Does 'peaceful' have the same meaning as it once did?
Peaceful? Haha 😂 anarchy has reigned.
Protestors or pussy gangsters?
Nonsense.
Hitler controlled his chaos too. Thats how he got elected
Peaceful 😂
In NBC, protestors are always peaceful, so weird not what we saw on videos.
Well what ya know... feds being sent in DID have a good effect if the protests have gone peaceful... how long before they’re back to violence? That’s what they stand for isn’t it? Violence without punishment...
Whatever NBC
Call BullSchiff nbc
They destroyed Portland for 38 days prior Fools
LeslieMarshall sure, burning Bibles and crosses is very 'peaceful'.
naomirwolf Portland won; Trump lost.
Why are you lying NBC. So sad thats why people call you fake news.... Peaceful my butt
Interesting...
Well um yeah- nothing like propaganda from the nutjob left.
Two people got shot today excellent job LOL
150 rounds shot at the apartments Saturday night, NBC. Report that.
So funny I just saw 2 articles that stated the opposite
Gee what a surprise The federals back off and the problem eases You stop resorting to violence and the problem desapears There is a solution to every problem, the the solution is not escelation
Considering what has called peaceful in the past couple of months... MediaBias
Wait awhile and see how they flip once again. Peace now to fool the authorities. Why haven't the so called peaceful protesters driven all the agitators out of their cities? It's because those peaceful protesters turn into the mob after dark.
Who would’ve know !!
It sounds like the Feds arrested the leaders of the violent protestors in Portland. truth
LiberalNavySeal Gee .. imagine that .. someone is peaceful when no one is trying to crack their skull open or shove into an unmarked van
They didn’t scale back they are just inside. Attack that building again, and they will come back out to handle it.
That is too bad I was hoping we could call in puff.
Riots caused federal officers presence. interns should learn how to write.
No they’re not! 😂
While coronavirus is having a field day. Covid19
Gee....imagine that......so what was the cause of the violence?....
The thugs will just move elsewhere.
Peaceful? 🤔🤥 From Portland PD’s Twitter page last night: People in this unlawful assembly have thrown glass bottles at Portland Police and directed lasers at them.
TrumpsGestapo was the problem
Yeah peacefully burning bibles and flags and peacefully beating people. Peacefully stabbing people. Peacefully throwing bombs. Peacefully burning down the courthouse. So peaceful.
BS. No such thing during a pandemic.
The media is trying to hard 😢😢😢
Were they peaceful before federal officers showed up?
If you'd like to see what's really happening nightly with the Portland riots that have been raging for 2 months now follow Drew Hernandez and Andy Ngo on Twitter. Nightly videos of the 'peaceful protests'.
Hm. No federal stormtroopers, no more violence. And the courthouse still stands. What does THAT tell you?
As Federal officers withdraw, rioters burn the severed head of a pig on a flag as a grisly death threat against local police. The Portland riots aren't about George Floyd. They're an attack on courts, police and the U.S.--the rule of law--by anarchists using Floyd as a shield.
PPB bull rushed and beat protesters on Portland’s east side last night 🤷♂️
except for the 150 rounds shot off huh
This is literally a lie. Last night's riots in Portland were the worst for two days, with Antifa Twitter accounts claiming local police are 'as bad as the feds'
Not from what I heard from a colleague who lives there ... but this is headline is coming from a network which called it a mostly peaceful protest
Lies
HoneybadgerLA Protests for social justice are usually peaceful until the cops and/or outside agitators show up. Cops and outside agitators are motivated to have these protests be seen as violent, when the people protesting have no intention of being so.
LeslieMarshall You left out the Bible burning parties those protesters started having
The protests were peaceful before DonaldTrump ordered federal officers to flame the violence
All NBC lies. The whole world has seen the violence and destruction in these Dem cities. We won't forget what we know.
They were trying to burn in down weeks before Feds cane in to stop them
No they aren’t 😂😂😂😂
What do you call all the vandalism, arson, and damage that was done to the building? Your journalism standards are questionable.
Jesus Christ is the answer to these&all of life's problems. The Marxists prey upon the Godless&the'fatherless'inciting the race hustlers&'white guilt'peddlers.MLK Jr. carried the cross of Christ,he set the bar for such protest&change?Past time to deal with ones own sinfulness?
YES EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT UNTIL LAW ENFORCEMENT CAME IN TO PROTECT AND YOU KNOW...ENFORCE LAWS. Derp....
This is a lie. Last night Antifa moved into residential neighborhoods and started trashing homes with families inside.
NBC is gaslighting the American ppl
wow
Not according to real media.
NBC I think you need to rethink this post.....it is funny how people who were there did not see it that way
Not as of last night. We'll see how long it goes before more violence hits.
📌
Not true but ok. It is NBC. The nothing but crap network.
more spin...
The Trump campaign agitators have gone home as Trumps poll numbers plummet.
In related news, my scab healed really well after I stopped picking at it.
DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
Ha ha ha ha ha! Had an interview with NBC once. They went with the fake news story because it was more dramatic. Fake again NBC.
Another night of burning American flags and calling our law enforcement racists and murderers, even though no basis.
Does anyone work in Portland?
Where is these outrage when two young black men are killing each others in the streets of Chicago.
That’s a lie. When it comes to Portland, MrAndyNgo is the only valid source.
How come these people stay silent when it comes to gang related shootings.
Not according to FoxNews after James Murdoch resigned.
Media is behind BLM, probably the biggest scam of our time funneling $$$ to the DNC and creating their mayhem
Bull
portland before the feds arrived, harmonic bliss....
Liars..... tell the whole TRUTH !!!! NBC=FAKE NEWS !!!!!! Portland sees 150-round shooting at apartment building, as crowds continue violent clashes with police
Now we know who was provoking the mayhem.
NBC news is more fake than fake news CNN..
I guess burning the Bible’s was peaceful!!
is the absolute fakest news. CNN is fake news. FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS
So wait the local PD came in and kept the “peaceful protesters” from attacking the courthouse so the Feds didn’t have to and this led to a scaled back presence of the Feds..... no way why didn’t the local PD do this in the beginning?
Looks like the fake news media got their narrative this morning. 😂😂😂 Such BS. So fake and so pathetic
Keep this tweet for when they torch the Federal courthouse. FakeNewsNBC
Wow 🤔 who would of thought let’s just get rid of the 25th amendment since no one had used it
Bunch of fake news liars!!
Of course they are. The goons are not rabble rousing.
Well no shit. I wonder why things got more peaceful when the thugs were taken away 🤔
The truly scary thing is that the left-wing trolls posting in these threads know this isn't true but are so delighted that the media is doing propaganda for them.
🙄 political hacks at NBC. Are you going to cover BillClintonIsAPedo ever or are you only going to do that if it's politically convenient?
More lies 😂
Hahaha the gaslighting is insane
Who cares at this point? It’s performance art. Politics is so much tougher than throwing rocks at things, yelling marching orders and walking around. Go worl on yourselves. The first revolution is the inner one.
People will push back against anarchy. Doesn’t the WhiteHouse get that, clearly, Trump has no sense of history. Americans will not allow a dictatorship, unfortunate the republicans don’t see it this way Biden Biden2020 Biden2020ToSaveAmerica
Portland last night
There was always peaceful protestors. It's the rent-a-demo misfits that cause the problems. Mainly AnarchistFed types and their 'leadership'. Leadership...LMAO
Federal agitators
And the say Trump is trying to destroy the media!!!
Clearly shows where the violence came from .. Trump/Barr Gestapo forces.
The story you won't hear on Fox News.
Outright lie....
NBC should have watched the videos of the protesters attacking a federal courthouse and federal agents doing their JOB of protecting it. If those thug protesters hadn't attacked the courthouse, the agents would have done nothing.
Yeah I'm sure they are. One day you'll be held accountable for spreading misinformation. And I hope ever last one of you gets throw in jail where you belong.
What a shock.
