[conspire] Federales in Portland?

Nobody disputes that armed camo dudes professing to be Federal officers
but with no insignia or badges, who refuse to identify themselves or who
they work for, have been grabbing citizens off the streets, putting them 
into unmarked cars -- basically kidnapping them -- and threatening to
shoot friends of the detained person if they follow.  There is also
video footage of such occurrences.  Those persons are typically then
taken to the Federal building, interrogation gets attempted, and then
they are sprung loose without explanation or any details.

Which is dictator bullshit, treating Portland like an occupied land, and
not the sort of thing permitted in a democracy.

So, excuse me, but that seriously doesn't bother you?  Why, because you
spent too much time with the Army in Central America, roaming around in
countries where this sort of things and worse happen every day?

Whereas, all you care about is 'What are the protesters doing?', etc.?
The protesters are not shredding the Constitution, sir.  Wake up.
