SEATTLE — A series of strident new protests over police misconduct rattled cities across the country over the weekend, creating a new dilemma for state and local leaders who had succeeded in easing some of the turbulence in their streets until a showdown over the use of federal agents in Oregon stirred fresh outrage. (Snip) The latest catalyst was the deployment of federal law enforcement agents in Portland, Ore., whose militarized efforts to subdue protests around the federal courthouse have sparked mass demonstrations and nightly clashes there. They have also inspired new protests of solidarity in other cities, where people have

So let me get this straight. Everything was butterflies and unicorns until federal law enforcement showed up to stop the rioting.

The catalyst was the election of Trump. All this turmoil is sponsored by the leaders of the democrat party who have been deranged ever since hillary lost the elections. All these so called catalysts are just made up excuses to get their unhinged drug addled base out on the streets rioting and looting.

A question that seems to go unanswered is, where do those arrested wind up? Are they hopefully held in the slammer until trial, or are the little darlings let loose?

It was another video - this time of the riots in Portland. It's always a video that causes these idiots to riot and kill.

#2 is correct. Trump’s election when they thought Hillary was a shoo-in drove the left to the edge of madness and beyond. The loss of power has turned them into violent lunatics. They simply can’t abide not being able to to use the government hammer on us rubes and deplorables. Make sure you vote and do everything you can to help Trump’s re-election. November will determine if the United States will survive. We are at a true tipping point. This is it, folks.

According to the Democrat Elite, like our buddy Nadler, Antifa is just an urban myth. Guess what Jerry, the Democrat Cultural Revolution is coming for you as well. So take cover Nads old boy, take cover. The DCR knows no bounds, once they have a taste for blood. Who knows, they might even dust off la guillotine for you guys in DC!

Well there is one FACT that should be comforting to all LAW ABIDING AMERICAN CITIZENS that love their COUNTRY. The people paying ANTIFA, BLM, and the lying Democrat P'sOS that have taken over the MSM, will run out of money to pay these criminals eventually, the people paying Federal Agents, WON'T.

Cities run by Democrats deserve to burn to the ground. What is important is to keep them from fleeing like cockroaches to other places

Militarized efforts? Only from the communist NY Times. They should bring in the tanks to squash this insurrection once and for all. In their beloved communist countries they would be shot on site for causing this much damage. Look at Portland, a city populated by liberal morons who still support the BLM communist movement. Sorry to say, but after two months of violence and destruction of their city, they still don't get it. Its the result of the weak liberal mind. Got it..

In a reasonable, educated country, the liberal democrat citizens, business owners and residents would go to the polls in the upcoming elections and vote these democrat mayors, governors, state attorneys and others who are not only allowing but encouraging the destruction of their property, economy, and cities out of office. However, I will not be surprised if the same radical politicians get re-elected.

"The situation has left city leaders, now watching the backlash unfold on their streets, outraged and caught in the middle."
Have you ever attempted to remove a large nest of hornets that was in a dangerous spot and your children were suffering stings? They get more angry and agitated when you are effectively attacking them. Thus the agitation over the federal troops. The theory is that if you leave the rioters alone you will be less affected but unfortunately human trash is not as polite as hornets are.
The entire article shows devious stupidity, pure lies and misconceptions but this is what we have come to expect from the New York Times. The democrat governors and mayors are now crying for federal money but they either want no federal troops or they want local failed police departments to control them. Is that unexpected or what? Tell Durkan, Lightfoot, Krewson, Inslee, Frey and the other delusional fools to go to hell and fund their own damages since they allowed them in the first place.

Lost me in the first sentence 'strident new protests over police misconduct'. If the writer of the article is starting out showing their ignorance about what is actually happening across the country then there is no point continuing.

Aw - so sad. The poor, little leftist mayors have to deal with arson, rioting, looting, destruction of property, and general mayhem because Trump is Inspiring the spoiled brats. We'll send sympathy cards - when we know the post offices won't be burned to the ground.
