The first-hand accounts Ive been reading describe it as a massive unprovoked attack on a crowd full of kids and no real way to escape.

    I’ve seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws. - Jamie Dunphy, Portland City Councillor

    I hope they are able to enforce it but when a group can murder with impunity in broad daylight, it might be a challenge to stop lesser acts.

    Stop calling the protests “anti-ICE”. That’s not what they’re about! They’re closer to “No Kings”

    I’m hearing bring buckets to cover and collect the gas. Have someone bring oven mits and face protection. Have them assigned to the task.
