  1.  @kesh4171  If they don't like being restrained. Go work at walmart. We don't need you. Im for crushing the police unions as well. Making internal affairs a public office. More independent financial audits of the system. With big teeth this time to bring charges. Limiting the level of military equipment they can have. Stop no knock warrants. That the cops must always be in uniform when on duty. No more unmarked cars or cops. Every law enforcement agency should have to wear a body camera that can't be turned off while on duty. And with big teeth to make sure they do.

  4.  eric hendricks  Ah, Oregon State has pushed back on those fed agents now as well as Washington state. The balance is shifting.

  6.  Mr X  How about we just restructure the system. Either that or cut off their non budgeted funding sources of income.

  7.  @bluebandit5586  When the other side has gone deaf. You have to make more noise to get heard. Its that simple. I guess Trump's super intelligence didn't see this coming.

  8.  @craigyoung9321  They are the ones who lit the fuses. One body at a time. Then they want to complain because it reached the bomb. Ridiculous !!

  9.  dnnyshdy  They are as American as those who fought for the revolution. We were born from a protest against what we saw as excessive force from a gov that had gone deaf. So what is the difference. Then you have your side protesting about wearing masks.

  10.  Anubis_X64  Undercover is not the problem. You don't know if this is a cop or a bad guy. At this point, it's even less clear. They need to make that clear. If someone comes at me with a gun in view. I may not take the chance to see if it really is a cop. I would really hate for it too come too that. But it's possible. Ah, treason. Of course you would say that. Just because I want things to improve. Even though I have no power to do it. Typical !!

  12.  @malekotao3410  I grew up in a conservative family. But I got better after 7 years in the service.

  13.  @malekotao3410  I would consider it an honor to be jailed with them. Seems Washington state, not just Portland, is pushing back on those gov. agents as well. You are losing the high ground in this battle.

  15.  @theboss1790  A career humanist, athiest liberal. Thank you very much. Career criminal ? That's so cute. My vet buddies will get a big laugh out of that for sure.

  16.  @theboss1790  Yep, Vietnam and 6 year more. From f100's , BUFFS to the SR71. They don't let idiots work on those things. That's fine. I don't believe in your gods. 1) We have had too many for our reality. 2) Their actions always scream con man and contain massive amounts of self serving hypocrisy. You had to bring in 'your' god into the comment. How childish. That's not even effective on someone like me. I speak how I feel. Just like you.

  17.  dnnyshdy  Yep, after all the gods we have created. All of a sudden, out of nowhere. We find the one true god, AGAIN !! And it only has some 300 versions of it. Not to mention all the other gods we have needed to keep their supremacy in place. And lets not even mention how where you live has more to do with what god you follow than it's credibility or consistency. So don't lay your god problem on me.

  18.  dnnyshdy  The one thing that has held true in my 70 yrs is that social progress is going to happen. It always has and always will. They call us traitors and anarchists. The British had the same opinion of us when we broke away. If I can serve my country again. In what what ever position I can to move us forward. I will happily wear that badge.

  19.  @analeelangbauer4806  I'm sorry that won't work for me. I have plans beyond that. Besides it might not be your god that shows up. There are quite a few of those running around. More than our reality can handle.

  20.  @jimmijames6294  That's the Trump plan. He wants to dominate the country. He wants a reason to come down hard on any protest or oversight of his rule. He hates being president. He wants to be a King. Even his own party is starting to back away from him. He is getting more and more isolated. And more and more frustrated.

  21. The cops have always been corrupt. But now we have had enough of it. Fix it or watch it burn down around your heads.
