      1. When they say federal agents are planning a "phased withdrawal" from Portland, what they mean is they've convinced PPB to do what the feds have been doing and won't leave until the feds see "results".

      The federal government's goal was never permanent occupation, but to assert its vision of how the police "ought" to respond to protests around the country.

    Mayor and Governor are touting this as "expelling federal presence from the city" while Republicans are touting the *same negotiation* as "making sure the police do their jobs". Meanwhile, no actual timeframe for a full withdrawal has been released.

      The choice between Democrat and Republican is not "no police brutality" vs "yes police brutality". It's the choice between whether or not the people blackbagging you in the middle of the night and dragging you off in an unmarked van come from Trump or your local sheriff.
