the gov'nor, nor the mayor invited them & they are using chemical irritants, which is in direct violation of oregon law. they have no permission to do that on state / local property that is not federal.
they are provoking & instigating & ramping up the heat beyond their 'jurisdiction'.
THAT is not constitutional. that is in violation of the 10th amendment.
Bullshit on so many levels. The idiot governor of Oregon and the slimy duplicitous mayor are the problem
and Trump doesn't have to be invited to protect federal property.
Point two, Portland cops use pepper spray all the time on the rare occasions they dispatch Antifa a-holes
which are the base of this mob trying to burn down the federal building.
The people protecting the federal building are there only to repel the mob trying to tear down the
federal court house. You can invert the English language if you like and call that "instigating"
and "provoking" but that's all leftist horseshit! It's classic Marxist tactics.
They are only there because Ted Wheeler is a duplicitous shit who backs the mob.
