How long does the local government let this crap go on till they stop it. Looks like they are as much part of the problem as those people who are doing the “peaceful “ protesting. I think the President should have acted sooner and with more force. Declaring martial law in Portland, removal of the Mayor, and the Governor, and let the military rule until another election was done.
