With the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse under nightly siege from violent radicals, and Portland's police hard-pressed to protect it, President Trump sent in federal agents to secure the building.
The reaction from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi: "The use of stormtroopers under the guise of law and order is a tactic that is not appropriate to our country in any way."
His Gestapo comparison recalls Sen. Abe Ribicoff's denunciation of the Chicago police under Mayor Richard J. Daley during the 1968 Democratic National Convention after police clashed with radicals in Grant Park: "With George McGovern, we wouldn't have Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago!".
In addition to the reigniting of protests and riots in urban centers, there has come in tandem with demands to "Defund the police" a surge in violent crime.
"Perhaps no citizens have suffered more from the menace of violent crime than the wonderful people of Chicago. ... At least 414 people have been murdered in the city this year, a roughly 50 percent increase over last year. More than 1,900 people have been shot. These are numbers that aren't even to be believed."
A dissent: while the country was disgusted and outraged at George Floyd's death from that cop kneeling on his neck and supported the protests and the calls for police reform, two months of Leftist rampages have taken their toll.
Trump has turned a permanent presidential spotlight on a real outrage: the shootings and killings that go on year in and year out, and are now escalating, especially in poor black neighborhoods of major cities, are accepted as normal by the same liberal Democrats who have misruled those cities for decades.
