Artol is making a great argument in favor of the 2nd amendment.
Cuz if the feds shouldn't come in unless asked, even when the city and state fail the citizens, then the only solution is to get armed and handle these violent protesters yourself.
I'm game for people to become vigilantes until their local reps get their shit together. Sounds good to me.
Meanwhile also in Portland:
"Sinclair, who is a Black Lives Matter supporter, told the crowd that she is not just "organizing for the abolition of the militarized police state," but also for the "abolition of the United States as we know it." The crowd cheered and applauded for Sinclair's proposal to tear down the United States.
Sinclair also said that Portland was "stolen land," and instructed the crowd to carry out a "land acknowledgment."

Antifa Leftists TORCH Portland Police Union In Night 52 of Riots, Media Blames Trump And Police
But the *real* problem is apparently the feds arresting people...

You truly believe that, because it doesn't seem in line with the documented actions.
Documented from who? CNN?
The same way they document a violent person as "Alt right", until we learn they're not?
Or the same way they branded the Covington Catholic kids as bigots and agitators, without a single apology when it came out the Black Israelite's were mixed up in it?

I was more referring to the protester shooting footage of how people got picked up. I'm wondering though, how do you think transparency should work for the federal government? Like what should it have to do to show it is accountable to its people?

So, because the person shooting the footage didn't know the reason the people were getting picked up. it must have been done for no reason and be an abuse of power?

No, it might be in some manner legit. That's where transparency and open communication would help. As it is, I would agree with the local Portland leaders that this is pouring gas in the flames.

So, if arresting people is pouring gas on the flames, what is allowing the protests and riots to go continue for over 50 days?

You mean the flames the local Portland leaders refused to put out?
You also never really answered my question about what you thought citizens should do in the short term. We heard what you felt they should do long term(restructure laws).

I'm not buying that pile of shit 😉 That sad mayor has let the rioters expand their powerbase all the way to the destruction of federal property for nearly 60 days........ 😆

Far Left Insurgents BREACH Federal Courthouse And Attack Feds, Portland IS In Civil War
At this point local leaders have forfeited the right to complain about Trump sending troops in.

Dumbasses on the left think that defending federal buildings is "Gestapo tactics" lmao.
Trump’s made-for-TV fascism in Portland won’t get him reelected. It may get someone killed.
Some have dubbed it the “Say Anything” shooting, but what happened in Portland, Ore., earlier this month to 26-year-old Donavan LaBella after he held up an old-school boom box and started blaring it at an intimidating line of federal robocops — looking, in the eerie darkness, much like John Cusack in the iconic 1989 film — was anything but a light romantic comedy.
As captured on video, LaBella first rolled away a tear-gas canister fired in his direction by the heavily armed, badgeless federal officers, but then falls to the ground — struck in the head by a so-called less-than-lethal round, which in the case of this Portland protester was just barely less than lethal. LaBella’s mom told Oregon Public Broadcast that her son required surgery for skull and facial damage and that doctors were draining blood from his skull while watching out for permanent damage." -snip

Fact: if anyone gets killed that is squarely the responsibility of the local leaders who failed their city
