    Why did this protest/riot go so little media coverage then?

    Protesters arrested after occupying Interior Dept. lobby
    https://apnews.com › article

    Oct 15, 2021 — WASHINGTON (AP) — Protesters held a sit-in Thursday at the Interior Department building in downtown Washington and clashed with police as ...

    It flew so far under the radar, even the Attorney General who is responsible for investigating such things was unaware that it even happened.

    Steube presented two photographs to the Attorney General, one of the protests at the DOI on October 14 and one of the protestors on January 6. AG Garland stated that this was the first time he heard of the October 14 infiltration of the DOI.

    Its too funny you quote from the media in an attempt to prove the media is not reporting it.

    It is vanity if they don't replace the members of their government, because as before, the Police are not the problem. The government is the problem.

    Is this getting the same level of media coverage as the Capitol riot?

    I don't see any reason why such small event would get the same coverage as Jam 6. Should every event deserve the equal amount of coverage?

    It wasn't difficult to predict the butcher's bill that would result from these violent acts and political attacks on law enforcement. We do not owe it to anyone sit silently while these vicious destructive policies are pushed by these insane folks.

    The fact democrats wanted to defund police in the first place is indicative of a genuine hate and inability to see and accurately identify truth from fiction in the world.

    they genuinely thought it was a good idea, as they genuinely thought “just believing women” was also a good idea. The negative consequences of these laughably stupid positions was completely beyond thier ability to grasp.

    we need to get them out of power asap

    Well first off, you haven't offered the six examples that would legitimize your point, and secondly, an edited film cherry picking what others have said put out by the Republican Party certainly isn't going to offer anything credible, you got to bring more than that

    Your arbitrary "6 examples" doesn't serve as an objective measure of legitimacy.

    Its clear to anyone who is intellectually honest that defunding the police was a democrat position held by your highest leaders and intellectual thought leaders. It has been thoroughly and objectively proven giving exactly what you claim doesn't exist.

    And you lost, the police are coming back with more funding than ever. The years of democrats hating police are coming to an end as more and more moderates recognize the need for police. It wont be long before your leaders praise police simply because they see no other way politically.

    Maybe if this continues on for a few more years, we will begin to see middle class flight and ghettoization of Portland.

    Portland is one of the rare big cities in the United States that has not already been ghettoized.

    Eventually we should expect every last big city area to either have lots of crime and urban decay, or be so unaffordable that middle class families cannot afford to live there.

    Obviously the rioting tourists aren't contributing enough to the economy.

    "Curiously, more whites than blacks support the measure..."

    Imagine that!
    May they vote with Wisdom.

    I can’t imagine who on earth would want a be a police officer these days. Especially one who works in a Democrat majority city. Talk about a nightmare of a job.
