they are going to detain the wrong person. It will be a little guy that does not look threatening.

And then they are going to find out that those helmets won't stop a kick to the nuts.

America’s law enforcement officers stand foursquare with the white supremacy movement and always have. The only difference is that we pay their salaries.

The police and the Proud Boys are one and the same, cut from the same putrid cloth.

They should learn to keep their grimy little mitts off other people's property.

along with some form of harassment.

I wish I knew the law better, but whatever it is called, it should be and most likely is easily prosecutable.

if the police refuse to end the unlawful detentions, stops, and assaults by the cowards.

File a report with the police. Get a copy. Have a paper trail. Identify the cowards.

And sue, sue, sue.

...but the Portland Police Bureau is notorious down there for their close ties to the alt-right. (Something to keep in mind when you hear about "violent protests" in front of police precincts there.)

That's one of the indicators of a failed state, which this country is getting uncomfortably close to.

I'd be damned if those pricks stopped me on the bike. Their dick extensions don't scare me for one fucking minute.

Fucking wussies have no fire without them! And, yeah I mean that! Take on people without your goddamn gun, wuss.
