    I guess if community’s are ok with armed neighborhood patrols they should be able to cut back on the police funding. I’m sure things will work out fine in Minneapolis. We like our police here and will just continue to let them do the job.

    Some people apparently long for authoritarian rule and the "strong daddy" type of governance. I'm not one of them. We still have the First Amendment, and now's the time to use it.

    I’m wondering what the protester would gain if the feds left Portland and let them loot and burn the federal buildings to the ground? What has that got to do with defunding the police? Do you think they would stop there.

    The First Amendment doesn’t allow looting, assault, and vandalism. The Second Amendment can help deter.

    Apparently the first amendment doesn't allow for talking to federal goons either.

    Is there any evidence that military personnel have been deployed to any of these places?

    the rioters looked suited up for a battle, and they are carrying weapons, do they count? Do the resistance and antifa count?

    What should the feds wear when they are under attack?

    What’s the answer? I asked above and no one answered. Should the feds just leave and let the mob loot and destroy the federal buildings. What does that gain?
