Trying to measure all the possible replies is like trying to wonder if Donald John Trump is ever on message(?)! Anyone sees the current inability to create a coherent, nationwide police.
Federal hooligans--not up enough the ladder to have Identification--have place Portland, OR: In harm's way for several nights. Peaceful Protests ongoing happen. Vigils go on for months, but no one is put in harm's way. Candles are lit(?). Even Catholics do this.
About 80 miles south of Portland, OR: Eugene-Springfield Police have been de-funded for 30 years. 2% of budget handles 17% of calls, keeping police out of sight while the parent fight it out, even in front of the children. Back to the comedy: Adults enraged are clearly not rational, specifically shown in the matter of the likely pathological liar, hyper-defensive disorder. Eugene-Springfield PD is not in the line of fire.
50 cities want help from Eugene-Springfield, heavily Democratic Lane County--of my college years--to set de-funding in their municipalities.
"Instigation" is not about policing, but is about "Enemy" presence.
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Great Hippie, Ken Kesey, knew about Eugene-Springfield, a farm just south. Great McGovernites know Matt 20: 1-16, source of $1200 Stimulus check, plagiarizing Obama-Biden Make Work Pay refundable Stimulus payments. "Make America 2016 Again,' RNC Platform: Is about the last year of the Obama-Biden Administration! Put them all together--Even Gingrich knows about "Hippie McGovernites!")
