While many in the mainstream media are downplaying the protests and riots happening across the US, those who are directly experiencing it are seeing them differently. Recently, the New York Times reported on a demonstration that took place in Portland, Oregon headlining the article by saying protestors are taking “a more confrontational approach.”

According to a report on Fox News, last night (Aug. 15-16, 2020) Portland police were forced to ignore over sixty 911 calls as officers were needed to deal with rioters. Fox News explains: More than 60 emergency calls to police went unheeded overnight in Portland as officers were preoccupied with hundreds of demonstrators downtown and were pelted by rocks. On the 80th consecutive night of protests, the Portland Police Bureau declared a riot around midnight Sunday after a crowd of hundreds had blocked traffic for three hours by the Penumbra Kelly Building in the 4700 block of East Burnside Street, trespassed on the closed property and engaged in “violent, tumultuous conduct.” READ: Over 60 Portland 911 calls go unheeded overnight as police respond to riot Of course, it wasn’t that long ago when Portland’s Democrat Mayor Ted Wheeler showed his support for rioters by joining them in their assault on a federal courthouse.

READ: Hong Kong protester first to be charged under new security law is denied bail I wonder if all those rioters in the US know how fortunate they are that protests are not just allowed, but a right in the US Constitution.

We all know that the U.S., and a large part of the world in other countries, is having a loud argument. Most of the language that I hear are emotional, and it easily brings angry answers.
