It’s been a little while since I last wrote about the unrest happening in Portland. While it’s technically 127 days of protests and rioting there, the last few weeks have been less violent than before.
Last night the ICE detention facility was the target. It didn’t go well for the rioters. ICE, DHS and the Border Patrol’s BORTAC unit responded. It seems like they had some new toys to play with. The first video shows a new type of pepper spray dispenser, it shoots a thumb thick stream of capsaicin goodness and the second is a tear gas dispersal unit/leaf blower.
As far as I can tell, there was only a single arrest effected last night.
