The mobile demonstration comes after President Donald Trump announced the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which have been the site of protests this year that have occasionally erupted into clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.

While Trump has described the city on his social media platform as a "NEVER-ENDING DISASTER," state and local leaders have denounced the deployment, saying it’s unnecessary.

"There is no insurrection, there is no threat to national security, and there is no need for military troops in our major city," said Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek. Oregon and Portland officials this week filed a federal lawsuit against the administration, calling the deployment "patently unlawful."

I rode in one of these events and a little boy pointed out me and said "look Mommy mine's bigger than his". I never rode in one of these events again. And what was a mother doing letting her children look at one of these events

That's called "old news".

Yeah anon this is one incident over 5 years ago. Trump must really be mentally foggy to think it's still 2020 and this just happened.

>>1444778
>>1444779
I see we're using a time argument to dismiss all the terrorism the left committed in 2020. By that standard, Jan 6th was old news and should be dismissed.

>>1444780
Yeah one guy getting shot give years ago (with the shooter getting extrajudicially executed by the feds instead of getting a trial) doesn't equal "active warzone we need to deploy the military to right now". At least DC had a single carjacking that happened to a DOGE shithead this year... or is Trump really cracking down on 1/6 five years too late?

>>1444781
>with the shooter getting extrajudicially executed by the feds instead of getting a trial
Kinda hard to give someone a trial when he's reaching for the gun in his pocket when surrounded by police. But I see we're coping about this as well again. Time for another round of showing police reports and forensic evidence?

>>1444782
How can he reach for a gun when he's in his car and the police never identified themselves? Reminder that every single witness on the scene didn't hear the police identify themselves before they shot him.

Anyways, continue coping that your single shooting doesn't equal "WE NEED MILITARY SUPPORT!"

>>1444783
>How can he reach for a gun when he's in his car and the police never identified themselves?
So we're coping about this again, leaving out that he had a gun in his pocket that he was reaching for and that police were shouting at him the whole time to keep his hands up.
>Reminder that every single witness on the scene didn't hear the police identify themselves before they shot him.
Oh yes those witnesses that were across the street and couldn't see a fucking thing, but they know for a fact Reinoehl had his hands up and was surrendering despite Reinoehl saying he's willing to die for his cause.
>*ring ring*
Hang on one sec, I got a phone call... Hello? Oh hi Ferguson! How's that "Hands Up Don't Shoot" thing going?

>Anyways, continue coping that your single shooting doesn't equal "WE NEED MILITARY SUPPORT!"
Speaking of shooting, me and my fiance` are about to go to the gun range in like 3 minutes so I'll have to continue this conversation in an hour or so. Don't worry, we'll go over and over and over and over and over and over again what actually happened with Reinoehl - while you continue to ignore the fact that even if half the bullshit you said about him being assassinated was true (it isn't) it would've been a fitting justice for him assassinating Danielson in the first place.

brb

>>1444786
Nice RP lmao. Doesn't change that multiple witnesses directly reported they had no idea any of the people who killed Reinoehl were cops because they didn't say shit before opening fire. Some of them even thought it was a gang shooting. And then you have retard-in-chief openly bragging about how they didn't intend to take him in alive.

But please, keep jacking off and pretending you're at the shooting range with your waifu. I'll leave you to it lmao

>>1444783
>How can he reach for a gun when he's in his car and the police never identified themselves
Lmfao you fucking retard
You're telling me that it's impossible to reach for a gun if you are in a car, or if someone doesn't tell you their name?

Get the fuck out of here, retard, that was one of the dumbest things you've said in a while

>>1444777
https://www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-wilson/news/2025/8/8/portland-sees-decline-violent-crime-homicides-down-51-first-half

Looks like Portland is doing a pretty good job of managing their own crime. Fifty-one percent decrease in homicides seems pretty good to me. Don't get me wrong, Portland's crime rate is still pretty high, and the levels, while decreasing, are still higher than pre-pandemic. However, Trump is not interested in reducing crime, he wants to punish blue cities that oppose him. Let Portland sort it out, and if they can't the city fails on its own.

Also, you could pick a better example. I don't like antifa faggots either, but driving a pro-Trump convoy through Portland seems like a great way to get yourself targeted by them, especially if you're a high profile organizer.

>>1444793
Trump is as much interested in punishing blue States as he is for fighting crime there.

But Portland is something like the 7th most crime ridden city in the US. And the facts show that so far "letting them handle it" hasn't worked out very well

>>1444793
>51% decrease
>still higher than it was in 2019
Breh

>>1444790
I'm saying that "he reached for a gun while surrounded by cops!" doesn't work if he had no idea he was surrounded by cops.

>>1444795
>Sorry, you haven't magically set your crime rate to 0
>Military occupation time
Now do red states lmao

>>1444794
Are you from Portland? If you are then I can imagine you sincerely caring. I'm not and I think it's a shithole, but no city should have the feds waving their dicks around in their neighborhoods. That's not even considering the Posse Commitatus Act that they're somehow allowed to skirt around. Fact is the military ain't gonna do shit but prove a political point and Portland is gonna be left with the same underlying conditions that lead to crime. The Trump administration ripping funding from them ain't gonna help with that either. Takes forever to curb crime and you need enforcement and a decent economy. Occupation for a week or two ain't it.

>>1444733

>https://www.opb.org/article/2025/10/03/trump-portland-oregon-ice-immigration-police-protest/
Crime isn't being curbed because the police are controlled by the mayor, and the mayor is sympathetic to Antifa, the same way that the Seattle mayor unironically simped for BLM and the CHAZ.

The 'long march through the institutions' isn't a meme.

>>1444804
>Dude, the Portland police arrested a journalist who was stalked and attacked by Antifa.
He got arrested for attacking THEM lmao.

>>1444805
According to Portland though, right?

These are the same people who said that the riots were "mostly peaceful protests" and insisted that Trump was at fault for the actions of a bunch of anarchists burning buildings.

All these people do is lie and hurt others.

>>1444804
>Crime isn't being curbed because the police are controlled by the mayor, and the mayor is sympathetic to Antifa, the same way that the Seattle mayor unironically simped for BLM and the CHAZ
There's been similar things happening Nationwide. I noticed after the police reforms that happened as a result of the 2020 race riots, where I was living at the time the mayor (or maybe it was city council?) instructed the city DA to stop prosecuting drug crimes and instructed the PD to not give chase to criminals unless they were involved in a violent or sexual crime. At the same time they cut back police funding for officers significantly and replaced them with "crisis outreach officers".

What ended up happening is crime rates immediately lowered because:
1) drug crimes went unprosecuted
2) property crimes were not investigated, and police were not sent out to take a report meaning that if you were victim to a property crime, you would actually have to go into a police station to file a report, which most people simply just didn't do meaning that even though people would call in and say a crime had happened, it would never actually be reported because nobody would come out to file the report

We wound up with literally oceans of bums that would just smoke crack in the middle of the crosswalk for about 2 or 3 years or so until the leadership got voted out and they started prosecuting drug crimes again.

Police funding has increased, I'm not sure how the whole property crime thing is still being handled because honestly as soon as they started clearing out the drug addicted bums from everywhere. I stopped seeing property crime almost completely

>>1444806
>Still clinging to five years ago to justify now
Yeah Portland still isn't "war ravaged" and under siege. But keep trying to pretend like Trump isn't violating the shit out of multiple constitutional amendments. They were zip-tying children in Los Angles yesterday; why wouldn't they want that?

>>1444807
>The place I was living at the time
>Please don't notice that homicides went up when we re-increased the police budget and not just drug crimes

>>1444810
Funny, you should bring that up, violent crimes actually went up during the period of lower policing, which is one of the reasons everyone was angry at leadership

Violent crimes have fallen after they started prosecuting drug crimes and property crimes again

>>1444811

The topic was empirical studies assessing the effectiveness of increased police funding and overall crime outcomes

Alright I'm back. Let's see what kind of cope you came up with.

>Doesn't change that multiple witnesses directly reported they had no idea any of the people who killed Reinoehl were cops because they didn't say shit before opening fire.
Nor does it change the fact that they were nowhere near the shooting when it took place and had no idea that Reinoehl reached into his pocket to pull out the pistol he had in there while he was surrounded by police.

And then of course I knew this one was coming:
>DURRR IT WUZ ASSASSINZ N SHIET CUZ TRUMP SAID BLAH BLUH BLEH BLIH BLAH
Good job not refuting any of the evidence that was in the police reports showing that Reinoehl was loading his car up with guns when they decided to arrest him.

shill already gave up on democratic shutdown shilling, lmao

>>1444827
>I'm literally laughing at you right now hahaha
Likewise.

>>1444827

>>1444838
Yeah, you got it. that's authoritative scientific research and not an article written by a homeless person to be sold by other homeless people

I mean, it's off topic and you defaulted to "muh racism" But at least you're getting close to the right track now

>>1444833
>Nor does it change the fact that they were nowhere near the shooting when it took place and had no idea that Reinoehl reached into his pocket to pull out the pistol he had in there while he was surrounded by police.
Which means the only people testifying that Reinoehl pulled a gun and they were totally justified in killing him was... the feds who did it. Amazing.

Also way to just say the president having a freudian slip about the police having no intent of arresting him meaning nothing. But I'll give you some props for actually holding yourself back (though you likely spent all of it jacking off) and waiting a few hours to try and sell your fanfic.

>>1444848
What's the big dispute here btw?
Reinoehl was another far left radical assassin who committed a murder based on political motives. He admitted to this.

Unless if there is compelling evidence that he was shot in the back without any prior warning, I have no sympathy for the die guy dying by being shot during an operation to arrest him

He lived by the sword and died by the sword. I'd honestly prefer that outcome over him polluting our criminal justice system and costing society even more money

>>1444733
Fucking faggots, man.

There's something in the water in Portland.

>>1444842
>article written by a homeless person to be sold by other homeless people
but my article isn't that
you're just mad because your source is just as shitty

>>1444851
>He admitted to this.
In court? At the trial he did not get because Trump had him killed?

>Unless if there is compelling evidence that he was shot in the back without any prior warning
The testimony of literally everyone at the scene. The only person who said the police announced they were police were the police themselves, but surely they'd never lie to cover their own asses, right? And I'm sure our resident "Says the first thing that comes to mind" president saying the task force who killed him had no intention to take him alive means nothing.

Let it be known in this thread when someone pointed out Portland had no shootings or even unrest to justify this, the only counterexample offered was a single shooting from five years ago.

>>1444848
>Which means the only people testifying that Reinoehl pulled a gun and they were totally justified in killing him was... the feds who did it. Amazing.
Yeah that is how it works. I'm sorry you want to put random people in harms way just so you can keep coping about Reinoehl's decisions no matter what, but cops aren't going to drag along an independent witness to a shootout for your sake.

>Also way to just say the president having a freudian slip about the police having no intent of arresting him meaning nothing.
Oh no! Trump was talking shit on social media again?!?

>>1444851
>What's the big dispute here btw?
Lefties are butthurt because their murdering antifag got killed by police because the dumb fuck tried to pull a gun on them, and want to make it into an elaborate conspiracy.

>>1444855
>In court? At the trial he did not get because Trump had him killed?
No, Reinoehl got himself killed when he reached for his gun. Cope harder.

>>1444855
>The testimony of literally everyone at the scene.
Notice how you leave out the testimony of the cops there and only cherry-pick the testimony of people that WEREN'T at the shooting, who either didn't see it or were too far away when it happened.

>but surely they'd never lie to cover their own asses, right?
Because the left doesn't have a history of lying about cases like this, Michael Brown, Jacob Blake, RITTENHOUSE!?! etc.

>And I'm sure our resident "Says the first thing that comes to mind" president saying the task force who killed him had no intention to take him alive means nothing.
And I'm sure once again you'll fail to show any proof that Trump told U.S. Marshals to kill him on site... something they could've done several times over but had to rush their "assassination of an assassin" when he started loading guns into his car to drive away into further hiding.

NTA
>A police affidavit requesting a warrant for Reinoehl's arrest, released after his death, included surveillance camera evidence showing that Reinoehl had spotted Danielson and Pappas walking behind him and had hidden in a parking garage to let them pass.[11][36] When Danielson and Pappas crossed the road, Reinoehl, joined by an associate, followed them while "reaching toward the pocket or pouch on his waistband", with the shooting occurring moments later.[11][36][37]

Keep talking about this. Don't talk about Israel, or the files.

>>1444870
>Forgive me for not believing them when they insisted they yelled they were law enforcement so loud that no one else in the area heard them do it.
Just like I'm sure you're not believing all the pictures of the officers wearing vests that said "SHERIFF" or "POLICE" in giant letters, that were taken after the incident. Yup, no way Reinoehl could've known they were cops.

>And this disproves the known history of officers covering for each other in shootings?
It shows your side has even more of a tendency to lie than police do. At least in this case they can back up their claims with photographic evidence.

>you know, other than Trump's own words.
Again, Trump talking shit on the internet like a tough guy = proof the U.S. Marshalls were ordered to take him out... funny how they left that part out of all of their police reports and only smoked him when he reached for his gun. You'd think they would've sniped him if the president gave them permission to do so.

Yeah approaching him from behind while he's in a car gave him a lot of visibility. Amazing how you haven't addressed the outright contradiction in the task force testimony that they yelled loudly that they were law enforcement, something collaborated by NO ONE ELSE IN THE AREA.

>It shows your side has even more of a tendency to lie than police do
Lmao police lie constantly. Why do you think they're supposed to wear bodycams, something conspicuously missing from this case that would've absolved them of suspicion instantly?

>Trump talking shit on the internet like a tough guy
Once again "He was just joking about directing them to not arrest him. Even though they did in fact kill him, and Trump celebrated that they killed him. But he didn't ask for it, he was just joking about it. Honest."
>You'd think they would've sniped him if the president gave them permission to do so.
Nah because that wouldn't have given a narrative of "he was totally reaching for a gun".

>>1444871
Okay yeah exactly. So this guy admitted to a journalist that he murdered this guy, And the video shows him stalking the dude before murdering him.

I'm literally not even concerned about this reinoehl dudes death unless if there is compelling evidence he himself was ambushed from behind without warning and shot.

Having him pollute the prison system and just spend money on this guy is objectively a worse alternative than the dude trying to pull his gun on cops and getting shot in response

>>1444878
>unless if there is compelling evidence he himself was ambushed from behind without warning and shot.
How about every cop at the scene INSISTING they yelled that they were law enforcement before they 'saw him reaching for a gun' and opened fire, only for every witness to report that they didn't say a thing before opening fire? It was so sudden some of them thought it was a gang shooting.

Oh, and Trump openly bragging about how "they weren't there to arrest him". Which is also a bit suspect with that in mind.

>>1444877
>Yeah approaching him from behind while he's in a car gave him a lot of visibility.
And boxing his car in with their squad vehicles.
>something collaborated by NO ONE ELSE IN THE AREA.
Because none of the witnesses you want to cope with were in the area.

>Lmao police lie constantly.
So do leftists. Moreso in fact. After the Rittenhouse trial, I don't want to hear a fucking word from your mouths again.
>Why do you think they're supposed to wear bodycams
Well it would be nice if every officer could afford a body cam -but you voted to defund them. Oops!

>Once again "He was just joking about directing them to not arrest him. Even though they did in fact kill him, and Trump celebrated that they killed him. But he didn't ask for it, he was just joking about it. Honest."
Once again, "Yeah he was reaching for a gun but it was still a hit job because Trump was stroking his cock on social media like he does every fucking time!"
>Nah because that wouldn't have given a narrative of "he was totally reaching for a gun".
Well thank you Reinoehl for doing that and making our grand conspiracy so much easier to cover up. Imagine the nightmare if this guy ... I dunno, turned himself in to the police after the shooting!

>>1444879
>only for every witness to report that they didn't say a thing before opening fire?
The same witnesses that weren't there and didn't see the shooting.

Once more, Trump said it therefore it must be true. Fuck evidence.

>>1444881

I accept your concession.

>>1444879
I had to just look on Wikipedia to see what the official story is, and besides a literal "he was just on his way to get Skittles and candy" All witnesses either describe him as having a gun, reaching for his waist, or not having seen it at all

There were conflicting witness reports immediately after the event:[57]

One witness was reported as saying she saw Reinoehl fire first.[55] However, according to another account, the same witness said she was not present when the shooting began.[20]
Another witness told The New York Times that he saw two SUVs approach the area quickly around 6:45 p.m. and then heard gunshots over a period of one and a half minutes.[8] He said that he saw a man next to a white pickup, walking backwards and appearing to hold a gun while officers fired at him.[8]
Two witnesses working nearby were reported to have said that Reinoehl was in a car outside an apartment complex when two unmarked SUVs converged on Reinoehl's car. Reinoehl then got out of the car and fired 40 to 50 rounds from what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle at the SUVs before officers returned fire.[58] One of the witnesses later said he and his coworker were misquoted and he was unsure whether Reinoehl had a weapon.[59]
Another witness said he heard 30–40 gunshots and yet another witness said he heard 8–10.[58]
On September 9, a resident of the apartment complex where Reinoehl had been staying who witnessed the shooting issued a statement through his attorney, saying that Reinoehl was walking towards his car, holding only a cellphone and eating candy when officers arrived at the scene, and that officers opened fire without any verbal warning.[60][61][62] He said that after officers began firing, Reinoehl tried to duck for cover behind his car, which was blocked in by police vehicles.[62][63] The witness said Reinoehl never got into the car, nor did he ever see Reinoehl hold a weapon or reach for anything while he was being fired at.[60][62][63]

>>1444879
I honestly don't know why you're trying so hard to defend a radical leftist terrorist who quite literally was out assassinating people because of his political views.

Most of the witnesses said he either fired first or was holding for or reaching for his gun and that's good enough for me

>>1444882
>what is this cope? They were literally on the street where they shot him.
So which witness saw Reinoehl not reach for his gun?

>Not how it works lmao.
Yeah actually that's how it works. Cameras cost money. I know, commies like you are used to getting free shit all the time so you can't understand the concept of a police budget.

>I accept your concession.
And I've long accepted that you'll keep crying about your dead antifa faggot boyfriend again and again and again on /news/, unable to accept the fact that his murdering ass got what he deserved regardless how it played out.

Can't wait to have this same conversation again a month from now.

>>1444885
>I can't question any of the discrepancies in testimony or address Trump's bragging about ordering it to be a killing with anything other than "uh he was just joking"

what happened to the terrorist child predators in 2016 to 2020 from the "right side of history"? oh right nothing so nothing, infact they should go ahead and rape you and your kids until you're broken and unable to breed

There's a lot of "impotent leftist terrorist" vibes coming from this thread

>>1444733
I agree with their protest but fucking christ I hate cyclists so much.
It sucks too because I agree with walkable and bikable cities but fucking cyclists are such obnoxious cunts.
>How should we protest? Doing a fun bike tour?
>Hm... How about a NAKED bike tour where we show off our grotesque flappy giblets
>NOW you're talking
Maybe it's just because I'm a prude American, but this shit feels like it does more image harm then good lol

>>1444901
>oh right nothing
Which is precisely what the right do: nothing. Certainly about the Republican party that refuses to make child marriages illegal in certain states, thus the Gang Of Pedophiles, ergo:
>they should go ahead and rape [...] kids
You tell me.
>unable to breed
But enough about the rightist incel /r9k/ rejects in /pol/ and /news/

I'm from Portland. I've lived here all my life. Most people are either unaware or uninterested in naked biking or random protests. 99% of the city thinks naked biking is cringe and spends most of their time working and living their lives. People who aren't from here or listen to a lot of conservative media tend to think Portland is this monolith of thought and opinions when in fact there's a ton of money here and a giant chunk of the city that stays completely out of politics.

>>1444901
Can't wait for Republicans to release those Epstein files.

>>1444908
I didn't even think of it as a Portland thing, more of a cyclist thing. No matter where you are in the country, cyclists are just, for whatever reason, obnoxious and cunty.
Part of me wonders if stuff like this is astroturfed because it's clearly obnoxious and nobody except for the people inside the protest like the idea of hundreds of sweaty, chafed up nudists cycling down main street.

No, whats happening is targeted conservative delusion. 95% of the city are just normal people who work and live their lives. Whenever the other 5% of the city (primarily really young kids and older hippies) do anything cringe its the only thing the news covers. People get the impression that issues are much, much larger than they are because of how dishonestly and sensationally the news media covers us. Even our local news channels are corporate owned propaganda machines. At this point there's nothing anybody could do or say to convince conservatives that every major city isn't sodom and gamorrah so I don't even see the point in trying to improve the image of Portland. They wouldn't care and there's no proof you could show them that would change their minds so long as they rely on daddy Trump to tell them what reality is.

>>1444915
Yeah, that's fair. Sometimes I honestly lose track of how small this stuff is in the grand scheme of things, and how out of proportion it is blown. But also I just fucking hate cyclists, so I needed to vent that lol

>>1444916
>But also I just fucking hate cyclists, so I needed to vent that lol
NTA, but it sounds like you don't quite get it. Are you sure you're not judging all of them on the actions of some tiny minority? That 95% normal people, 5% weirdos that get all the attention applies to them too.

>>1444916
Oh absolutely. Everybody hates the fucking cyclists here. Also, Portlanders are extremely performative. We're in a deep, deep blue area so there's nothing more they love than a pointless virtue signal that accomplishes nothing. I say this as a life long Oregonian.

>>1444917
Most people have cars, bruh. Cyclists suck in every major city. Its just a pain in the ass to travel around them.

>>1444919
cyclists aren't nearly as much of a nuisance as terrible drivers though, which every city has a major epidemic of

>>1444920
True. Oregonians suck at driving. Uniquely so.

>>1444917
Maybe, but I think it has to do with American infrastructure too. It's not made for cyclists, so the people that *insist* on cycling often have more narcissistic personality types.
Product of their environment kinda thing, idk. I've almost been run over by more cyclists than cars, so I'm a little biased, but that also probably has to do with dogshit infrastructure forcing pedestrians and cyclists onto the same spaces

>>1444922
the way america is built it's almost more your fault for trying to walk instead of buying a car, if that's the kind of area you live in

>>1444923
I just don't wanna drive 15 minutes to be able to walk :(
Unfortunately many cyclists have the same mindset as me lol

>>1444923
It's your fault. It wasn't always like that.

>>1444928
what does this even mean. it used to be muddy roads that flooded all the time, and then after that it was wooden sidewalks that burned down in a conflagration after a while

>>1444780
Murdering a single person is not "terrorism". Terrorism is when someone bombs hundreds of people or hijacks a plane and runs it into a skyscraper. Or else all crime is terrorism now.

>>1444962
shill logic and reality are mutually exclusive

>>1444962
>>1444963
Try using the actual legal definition of it and not what you think it means in that tiny shill brain of yours
Care to try again?

>>1444962
Nope. Terrorism is tied to trying force a political change. Violence alone isn’t enough.

>>1444962
>>1444963
In shill-world, anything opposing the rights attempt to destroy America is terrorism
Its why they tried to pretend Luigi was a terrorist

>>1444969
Hey remember when they tried this against Luigi and that charge got dropped because it was retarded?
