Video of Portland goon squad (merc's) arresting guy on the corner. Anyone else notice...

it was a fairly mellow grab? They didn't run and charge at him and take him down. He just stopped and put his hands behind his back. They easy walked him to the van. There was another guy there in a hoodie and it looked like he was recording with a cell phone. He was real close and the goons didn't do anything to back him off and away or motion him to stay back. I wonder if the goon squad and the guy arrested kind of know each other and maybe some of this was scripted? They're planning on taking this on tour.

We must avoid spreading evidence-free rumours, otherwise we are no better than garden variety Q-Anon cultists.

Let's stay in the reality-based community, shall we?

Happy to evaluate any evidence of mercenaries should it arise.
