Sedition, crime against the state. Though sedition may have the same ultimate effect as treason, it is generally limited to the offense of organizing or encouraging opposition to government in a manner (such as in speech or writing) that falls short of the more dangerous offenses constituting treason.
Well after protests against police have faded in many American cities, the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front has emerged in Portland as a persistent militant voice, using social media to promote rallies, and offering tactical advice and commentary on gatherings that often have ended in confrontations with the police and arrests.
The conduct they champion has ignited a bitter debate about the direction these protests have taken in an ongoing drama that plays out nightly in front of the Multnomah County Justice Center and later in largely empty streets defined by block after block of boarded-up buildings. The core of downtown — in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic and the demonstrations — appears drained of much of the vitality that has long helped to define this Northwest city.
For the Youth Liberation Front's anonymous leaders, these protests are part of the revolution. They are resolutely anti-capitalist and anti-fascist, and express disdain for those who work for reform within what they view as a failing political system.

These aren't just "people" being pulled off the streets.
They are extremist left wing domestic terrorists.
I for one am glad they are being detained and hopefully on their way to many years in prison.
First they came for the "left wing extremists"....

As long as rights aren't being violated, those breaking the law should have to atone.
Now, if they aren't being read their rights as they are being arrested, or if they don't know these are cops I would object... But I don't know if that's the case.
Also, very obscure case, but not unheard of during widespread uproar would be the use of Stingrays. Not a fan.
They are not being arrested. Just taken without their will. It is nothing less than kidnapping.

The article stated this has occurred on nights with no violence or tear gas. So it's still considered a riot?
Let me let you in on how his works:
During the riots, law enforcement is taking pictures, recording video, and essentially "tagging" people. When it is safe to do so, the rioters get black bagged and taken in. Some get charged others don't.
Anyways, if true, maybe the dumb # shouldn’t be walking around at 2:00 in the morning, dressed in black, while an ongoing riot has been raging for over a month. Use some common eff’n sense people.
I have ZERO sympathy for any of these whining sniveling bitch’s. Screw their rights.

So what you are saying is that MY right to be “walking around at 2:00 in the morning”, or whatever time of the day I choose, while wearing whatever I damn well choose to wear (as long as I am “decent” under the law) is now to be dictated by the actions of people unrelated to me and who I may neither know, nor agree with?
And because MY rights are thus proscribed, I should willingly submit to ANY person or persons assaulting me on the street, even if it appears that they intend to kidnap me,
Even if/when they fail to identify themselves as law enforcement?!?
Talk about “Sheeple”!
You know, they’re your rights you seem to want to screw!

Give me a break, they're terrorists. People who shield themselves with a "cause" in order to destroy and steal, and scare people into complying with their outrageous gimme-gimme demands aren't worth much other than being rounded up. In the ME, we reduce them to worm food_javascript:icon(''). I'd say it's deserved on both ends.
