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">https://pamplinmedia.com/pt/474091...
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& #39;re doing is not constitutional anymore,” concluded the Navy veteran. https://twitter.com/pdxzane/status/1284726088187310080">https://twitter.com/pdxzane/s...
He doesn’t want people making a huge deal but you can find him on Twitter at @Tazerface16 https://twitter.com/tazerface16/status/1284869531941269504">https://twitter.com/tazerface...
More Portland folks. If you& #39;re in the Portland area, GET YOURSELF DOWN TO THE PROTESTS TONIGHT.

Donating only does so much.

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">https://twitter.com/dougbrown...
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">https://twitter.com/aclu/stat...
