Let's start with the riot last night and the 23 arrested.
Oh, 90 consecutive days of protesting err... rioting.
That sounds like a good appetizer.

Police are like that everywhere.

OJ Simpson was mostly non-violent the night Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered.
Most areas of the Grand Tetons don't have grizzly bears so you don't have to bring bear spray.
Most of Portland isn't a war zone except the part where it's a war zone.

"Mostly."
This is the dumbest line people use to defend criminals.

Portland businesses fleeing downtown offices over nightly BLM riots
“Businesses are leaving,” Andrew Hoan, the president and CEO of the Portland Business Alliance (PBA), told KATU.

“The financial consequences to the downtown corridor are a running calculation that is almost impossible to wrap your mind around,” he said — with one company already saying the riots have cost $20 million in damage and lost business."
@One Brow at what point do you think it's a **** hole?

Your post was "mostly" stupid.
I'm glad you cleared up the whole city isn't a war zone because literally no one thinks that.
No one.

No, just a **** hole. Don't play stupid semantic games with me man.
In the video you just offer of the police charging the protesters, the streets were clean, in good repair, with very little little. The walkway overhead was pristine.
So, none of those things.

I don't consider it criminal to refuse to move when a police officer is telling you to move, in order to your protest. Isn't this a free country?
There are criminals who take advantage of the chaos. In areas where the police aren't too busy attacking the protesters, they actually can get support from them stopping such people.

Likely not, someone has to do something in Portland as it is very clear the dangerous idiots have taken over. I'd rather it not be the other morons in these militias but if the cops and govt aren't I guess they get their shot. No pun intended.

Just from last night.
The streets looked clean though.

I literally drove through Portland 2 weeks ago. With my own human body. Saw it with my own eyes. It is a disaster. It looks like a war zone. The once beautiful downtown is just broken glass, boarded up windows, spray paint, and remnants of fire. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, but it's hardly the whole city. Don't let the war zone part of Portland distract you from the rest of Portland.

Portland isn't exactly a large city. So those "few" city blocks are the ones where all the businesses are, where everyone needs to be.
