Portland Antifa Rioters Are Getting Away With It By Claiming They Are ‘Journalists’
Federal agents have been hampered by a court order.

Portland continues to burn at the hands of Antifa agitators who are using a court order that has prevented Federal officers from taking action against the press. In other words, rioters are holding cameras and claiming the Feds can’t touch them because they are ‘journalists’.
With the Democratic Mayor refusing to order police to crackdown on rioters, federal officers have stepped in and been somewhat effective. However, as RT reports, a federal judge last week issued a temporary restraining order on the agents, forbidding any action against anyone ‘reporting’ on the scene.
Now, some on the ground in Portland, are relating that antifa rioters are using this to their advantage:
This fake Antifa press problem is a pandemic
This man defies orders, insults officers, and makes sexual references to them
And claims he’s press with a $40 handicam mounted on a gas station tripod
Due to a court order police can’t do anything
This puts real press in danger pic.twitter.com/cVvenAof0S

Antifa Rioters are posing as press in Portland riots
Press do not engage in political activity during protests or riots, unless undercover
This is putting open reporters at risk to being caught in the cross fire
Antifa is deteriorating our constitutional system from within

Armed Leftist shot this weekend during a BLM protest, after he and a mob swarmed a man’s car. He learns quickly that there are consequences for his actions…
Some so called ‘reporters’ are openly bragging about aligning with rioters:
The moms are still here. All the lights are out. There's something so sinister about that. If we can't capture it, did it happen? Will America believe us, or them?
A protester plays "what a wonderful world" on the trombone. It doesn't seem incongruous. It seems mournful
