Citation for protestors in Portland murdering people?

Citation for "millions of dollars in damages"? Yes there have been broken windows, and there were significant riots in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd's murder. Since then (and absolute in the last 6 weeks) the protests have been peaceful with the exception of a few broken windows and some graffiti. Absolutely not millions of dollars in damage.

Keep in mind I live downtown. A 1000 sq/ft apartment costs about a million dollars in downtown Portland so let’s not let our imaginations get the best of here.

And how many people have been murdered as a result of the protests? Please stop fear mongering.

And billions of dollars looted from the PPP and US treasury while the media conflated protesters with the bad actors running amok. If you weren't in the protests, read accounts of those who were like the recent overview in the New Yorker. When a movement that starts with taking a knee is vilified, attacked, and denied legitimacy what other options are there to make their voices heard?

Meanwhile, taxpayers have been robbed blind by the damage to our infrastructure by looters yes but also corruption, greed, and abuse of power not seen at this scale in the entire history of our democracy. Even the Secretary of Transportation and Husband, Mitch McConnell, made off with millions in loans paid for by your tax dollars. The current USPS head, who may be slowing delivery to damage the agency, may be taking direction from a guy whose old company received $700 million in bailout even though it is only worth 1/10 of that.

You and I might have seen $1200. Millionaires got $135 Billion in tax loopholes. That's more than hospitals were allocated to deal with the virus.

So do go ahead and complain about looters at protesters. It's important their bad behavior be recognized and flushed out. But don't lose sight of the larger issue, billions of taxpayer dollars going to the rich, donors to the current administration, and even directly to members of the administration and GOP party leadership. The corruption is obscene.

What's funny is that it doesn't matter whether it was improving or not. Law is law. You don't stop chasing criminals just because criminality is down.
