On the streets of Portland, a so-called 'wall of moms' forms a human shield to protect protestors from federal agents.
Even local officials, who were not part of the decision to bring in federal reinforcements, have been lashing out at the president over the matter, calling it nothing more than a political move.
"As best as I can tell, this is an effort -- a last-gasp effort -- by a failed president with sagging polling data, who's trying to look strong for his base,"over the weekend."He's actually using the federal police function in support of his candidacy." Protestors have been gathering in the city for more than 50 nights, ever since Floyd's death May 25 in Missouri while he was in police custody.
But as federal agents have moved in, things haven't exactly been peaceful. In fact, many say they've grown downright combative because of the agents' behavior. Protestors say they've been tear gassed without cause, have been fired at with so-called"less lethals," and have been thrown to the ground by the officers.
