The man who’s being called “Captain Portland” after stoically absorbing a beating last night by Federal officers is a 53-year-old Navy veteran named Chris David.
The former Navy CO wanted a word with them about their oath. They broke his hand in 2 places. https://pamplinmedia.com/pt/474091-383299-portland-protester-describes-beating-by-federal-officers-?wallit_nosession=1

The author of this piece is the excellent @PDXzane, who also captured footage of the incident.
"That oath of office is essentially swearing loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, and what they're doing is not constitutional anymore,” concluded the Navy veteran. https://twitter.com/pdxzane/status/1284726088187310080

He doesn’t want people making a huge deal but you can find him on Twitter at @Tazerface16 https://twitter.com/tazerface16/status/1284869531941269504

It was the US Marshals. Same agency that shot Donovan LaBella in the head and critically injured him two weeks ago. https://twitter.com/dougbrown8/status/1284767148615692290
Federal agents are also brutally attacking nurses and EMTs who volunteer for medic duty, like the ones who treated Navy veteran Chris David. https://twitter.com/aclu/status/1284885711192076288
First Portland, now Chicago. We told you the Redcoats are coming. https://twitter.com/jonswaine/status/1285256085889310720
