1/ There& #39;s a large crowd sentiment with the feds of & #39;we don& #39;t want you here. You aren& #39;t welcome here, these aren& #39;t your streets& #39;

So rather than a protest it& #39;s almost a fight - one that a lot of people feel the feds started.
2/ a protestor told me & #39;"if they can act outside the law, how can we sit around with our fists up and chant and expect change."

Which I think is a strong sentiment growing quickly. Protestors are fighting for their streets and democracy, the peace officers are dying down.
3/ so it& #39;s more and more (I know I& #39;ve said this a lot) a fight. And I don& #39;t think anyone& #39;s gonna stop fighting until the feds are pulled from Portland.
4/ I don& #39;t think the goal is to get tear gassed, or shot, and I don& #39;t think it& #39;s to incite violence at all. But I think we& #39;ve seen property damage gets attention and results - results protestors have never seen before. So what else can they do to be heard?
