Portland police give public safety update after meeting with Kristi Noem
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/...001512259.html

...

When asked what the tone of the meeting with Noem was like, Day said there were clearly some differences of opinion between her and local law enforcement. However, they remained professional and discussed different ways of reducing conflict and dissonance near the Portland ICE facility for the sake of public safety.

Day said police have the surrounding streets cordoned off near the ICE facility, which he said is standard practice for visiting dignitaries. However, he could not say how long the area would remain sectioned off.

Chief Day acknowledged there had been crimes taking place, including property destruction and assaults, outside the ICE facility during protests, particularly during the month of June. Day said police responded by making a number of arrests, nearly 40 since June, and continue to remain actively engaged. However, he said the unrest and crime had declined significantly in the past few months. Only in the past 10 days has the “energy level” gone up, once again, during protests, Day said.

They had one person last night flee from an assault on one of the right-leaning agitators. He fled towards the river, but they supposedly caught him at some point.

Also, I'd saw on a stream briefly a truck had run into a fire hydrant and was releasing water into the sky. Not 100% sure it was Portland as it might've been Chicago. It looked like a proper waterfall.

They also had a drowning:

I'm glad they're cracking down on this as they should on all of this, but there's a growing movement of people making money grifting off the backs of "protests" like this also... anyone can be a journalist in 2025.

There's nothing wrong with being independent media and they exist across the spectrum. More that it's very easy to just pick up a camera and make all kinds of claims to grift. But thankfully there are enough people being honest at these protests that it doesn't seem to be a problem. Well, except the grifting... there's dysfunctionality amongst this crowd eeking out an existence by aggravating crowds and the people filming it are making a small profit by televising...

Though I guess it's not terribly different than what happens in traditional media.

As mentioned before, Antifa established a new camp further down the road from ICE in Portland and have come back with 4-5x the costumes now... they're trying to appear more harmless so maybe that produces bad imagery if the feds do come through...



Antifa are still walking up to people, antagonizing and threatening to harm them, Charlie Kirk them, etc. There's other non-Antifa people there also who are agitators.

They totaled a Charlie Kirk supporter's ("Tommy") 's car supposedly and got his work address, so now he claims he had to quit his job to "do what was right". I think he just wants to do the grift full time, personally.

This was the same guy that had been arrested walking around the street on a megaphone. He has a grift where he walks around on his camera while doing Lives and personally insulting/agitating them for reactions. Then actively bragging about how their reactions were making him "so much money" because his chat loved it. If they get in his space, he's threatened to "flatten them". So it's not like this is someone who goes for simply 1st Amendment reasons. He knocked out an Antifa member less than a week ago who he claimed was trying to rob him, which they had been doing to other protesters. They've gone back and forth between them assaulting him and issuing death threats. Most of this is caught on video, but it's not like he's there to discourage it either....

Allowing this to just fester and continue attracts criminality, including grifter types, who have their own history. So why they don't just shut it down to bring peace back to the neighborhood when violence and disorder is daily occurrence, I really don't understand...

Local News coverage about the cartoons and "Tommy" (Allen in the news story), the guy I was talking about before:

Youtube video

I was watching a video where it was said by someone who regularly films with him that he didn't read his own court paperwork (common) about needing to stay a certain distance away from the ICE building. He was warned before his arrest by police that he wasn't allowed within 200 ft despite having the right to arrest him. He kept up anyway so they picked him up... judge let him go the next day with the same warning.
