I've been getting a lot of detail from my sister and mother in Portland about what is going on there, and it sounds not to dissimilar to your comments on Minneapolis not long ago. There is a very dysfunctional and hostile police force, that has escalated a situation, but there also is a situation with some of the downtown rioting that needs to be handled. The Mayor has not been helpful and the City Council is looking to take control of the Police.
So the feds are basically bringing a gas truck to a bonfire.
