As someone who lives near Portland, the fact that Portland police even testified about excessive force means it's bad.

"I am just doing my job!"
Yes, and we can see what your job is.
Wasn't a valid defense at Nuremburg. Won't be a valid defense now.
75 million people died to make the Nuremberg trials possible. Facists don’t leave without a fight
that's why this time around, there can be no mercy. All of them must hang. The precedent must be set so these trash don't try it again in 70 years.
So where are all these homegrown "militias" that were training to fight tyranny?
A majority of them are on the side of tyranny.
Most of these militias were white nationalist groups . They are assisting tyranny so they can have free rein to terrorize, rape and kill women and minorities with impunity.
All of us connecting better with other people in our towns/cities/states/countries online and in-person will mean bigger collective strength and power for the people
With that it would mean more coordination and significantly less deaths if and when we get to that point as well. Would be better to fight alongside all of you altogether than individually
All of fuck sticks in uniform deserve a year's jail time at a minimum. Assaulting peaceful protesters? Fuck that.
They are traitors to the people/country. Basically the 'domestic terrorists' they keep talking about. They deserve way more than 1 year.
edit: The art is to be resolute without weapons, strategic, smart, large-scale and unpredictable. A national strike would work better yeah but is tricky ig lots of americans need their salary too idk
A lot of people forget that our country was founded on gunning down our oppressors and those that stood with them. They think we're above it now, and haven't realized that that mentality has specifically been instilled in us over several generations by our new oppressors. Violent actions of the past are seen as justified and heroic, while violent actions of the future are seen as unjustified and barbaric.
Holy shit. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. WOW. Fuckers.
It is fucking wild we've all lived long enough to see the POLICE start to speak out against authoritarianism.
It's a shame we would only make an example of these dimwits who fail aptitude tests at alarming rates. If they could read they would know the Nuremberg trails weren't kind of brown shirts who were just following orders. I only hope we reserve the same treatment for the people running the show.
I just hope there is some level of accountability once we emerge from this fascist regime.
All these nazis need to end up in those private prisons they’re building
Your average ICE officer has the mind of a 3rd grade bully with a racist dad.
[serious question]
What is the government suggesting is the justification for this particular abuse of power?
I know it's bullshit. I'm just curious what bullshit they're using for this.
The government wants to squeeze and provoke violent acts so they can squeeze more.
"Immigrants are violent criminals and we need to deport them at all costs"
The giy was just standing there and they sucker punched him from the back. Wtf
They need to be locked up with multi-decade long sentences.
Right now the source is hosted under v.reddit.it. is there a mirror we can link to or use?
Reddit being reddit can quickly get rid of that video. And removing that dependency would be so nice.
I don't like or trust reddit either. I post videos like this as I find them to the Fediverse as soon as I can.
I found it at that URL in the source, however I posted the video to Mastodon. For this post, the video link is coming from the Mastodon post.
I only include the place where I found it just incase it can help give some context to others.

What a shithole.
This whole country? Unfortunately, yes.
Well, the government and their cronies.
Still a lot of decent and even a few good people here. They're disempowered, and largely in crisis, though... The only ones truly "thriving" are the ones oppressing the others.
Only the protesters with masks on actually.
These people were Given BILLIONS of Dollars to Kidnap Children to Undisclosed locations! THANK YOU REPUBLICANS! WE LOVE YOU!
Now, I'm not saying anything at all, but those helmets they use are terrible against blunt force hits from a baseball bat repetitively swung at full force, theoretically speaking.
Yeah, look at all those fellow brave protestors who....
Take a small step back as the guy is being rushed and barely make a complaint as he gets abused.
Really fighting for the same team.
I know right? If I was there, I would've started with the guy behind green helmet. A quick leg sweep followed by an elbow to the chest, to make sure he stays down.
After that, green helmet would likely turn his sights on me, but I'd be ready for him. A roundhouse to the shiny green dome would daze him, and as his back is turned I'd get him in a head lock, and do a rapid choke-out before the others swarmed me.
At this point, the others will have noticed and will be oinking at me to get down, pointing their weapons menacingly. What they don't realize is that I'm a Diamond II in fortnite. Guns. don't. scare. me. As they're trying to menace me, I'll bob-and-weave towards the nearest pig, grab his barrel. "Better luck next time, pig" I'll say before hitting him in the nose with the butt of the gun.
Once he's out cold, the rest will begin to fire at me. I'll use the unconscious pig's body as a riot shield, charging at the group and tackling the rest to the ground. It'll be so quick they'll all stumble, and as they're trying to regain their footing, I'll bob and weave once more, performing a serpent strike into their throats. This will buy me a few precious seconds to channel my inner ki and roast them all with a solid kamehameha.
Finally, my fallen comrade will stand, the rest of the protestors will come to his aid, and once he's been secured, everyone will clap. But I won't smile. Not while there are still fascist pigs left to roast.
Everyone else around you clapped, you were hailed as a national hero, and global peace was declared forever. The end.
Nah I just would expect to be arrested with my fellow protestors.
Not expecting to be arrested when protesting means you don't expect to be an actual issue for anyone.
