Homeland Security chief says federal agents 'will not retreat' from Portland

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said federal agents in Portland “will not retreat” as law enforcement grapples with demonstrations and violent protests in Oregon’s biggest city.

At a press conference Tuesday, Wolf staunchly defended the Department of Homeland Security’s mission in Portland amid criticism over reports of officers in unmarked vehicles arresting demonstrators without identifying themselves.

“What is occurring in Portland in the early hours of every morning is not peaceful protesting,” Wolf said. “We have been forced because of local law enforcement presence to take measures such as arrests to protect our officials.”

“While I look forward to the day that our officers are redeployed back to their regular day-to-day mission, we will not shrink from our duty because of this violence,” he added. “If you are a violent rioter looking to inflict damage to federal property or law enforcement officers, you need to find another line of work.”

So this idiot thinks beating up a non violent Navy vet is part of his duty.

CHICAGO (CBS) — As many as 16 people were shot Tuesday evening near a funeral home in the Auburn Gresham community.

The shooting happened at 79th and Carpenter streets. Police confirmed multiple people were shot outside the funeral home at 1018 W. 79th St., sources told CBS 2’s Brad Edwards.

Sources said there was some kind of planned ambush outside the funeral home, where a memorial service was going on for a homicide victim.

11. Do you think trump cares

Who's going to stop them?

8. They should be arrested.

9. Therein lies the problem...

when LEOs go in thinking they are an occupying army, the people get restless and don't like it.

Peacefully ending protests should not be a military operation.

10. "Retreat". What an awful word choice.

It implies a military line has been set against an enemy from which they will advance, hold or abandon. American patriots exercising their constitutional right to gather and protest are not Chad Wolf's "enemy". They are his fellow citizen countrymen doing what patriots do.

12. Chad's use of the word retreat is very telling. Chad, you should be in jail for your fascist

tactics.

[LiberalFighter]

13. Chad needs to be sent to prison.

14. Chad Wolf is a un-American pos

15. It was peaceful until the Trump goons attacked

[bluestarone]

16. When will this bullshit hit the courts?

Just seems like nothing can be done until NOV. I really wish some judge will put a stop to this shit! (not that RUMP will listen to a judge though)

[DFW]

17. "Will not retreat?" Are they an occupying enemy army, like Napoleon at the gates of Moscow in 1812?

You "retreat" in the face of a superior enemy force opposing yours.

You stand down when you are overstepping your legal authority attacking unarmed civilians of your own country on their own home ground. Unless, of course, you consider, the United States to be enemy territory, and its unarmed (so far, anyway) citizens to be an enemy force.

Well, Chad Wolf? DO YOU?

If so, be ready to defend yourself before a court of law against a myriad of charges, including treason and homicide (it won't be long), come February of next year. If not, call off your attack dogs, like yesterday, no matter what the Trumpanzee says. These are orders you do NOT want to be giving or following. Look up the city of Nürnberg, year 1946, if you have any doubts.

18. we'll see....

19. "Retreat"? He thinks this is a WAR?
