HOUSTON – Texas Democrats are planning to take Gov.

Portland police have explained why it chose not to intervene in violent clashes between heavily armed right and left-wing groups, insisting they “willingly” engaged in physical interactions which “quickly resolved themselves.” Responding to criticism and questions about “why the events downtown were not declared a riot,” Portland police said the officers were heavily outnumbered and lacked crowd control resources to address such a massive gathering. Earlier on Saturday, hundreds of people belonging to multiple rival groups with “various ideologies” descended on Downtown Portland, while the police had only “roughly 30 officers available for crowd management.” As the groups clashed, police remained on […]
The Barcelona board are braced to resist any transfer bids for Lionel Messi as new boss Ronald Koeman declares six-time Ballon d’Or winner crucial to his plans, despite the Argentinian ace’s apparent discontent at the Camp Nou. For the first time since he joined the club two decades ago, rumors have suggested that Messi’s discontent at Barcelona’s poor performance last season could lead to the club’s star player deciding that his future lies away from the Catalan club. Backroom rancor and discontent under former boss Quique Setien came to a head following Barcelona’s humiliating 8-2 UEFA Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich […]

That Pompeo the West Pointer is leading the charge does not put a shining […]
Law enforcement officers have begun pushing protesters away from Portland’s federal courthouse after demonstrators pulled down a fence surrounding the building. Activists used wire cutters, power saws, and ropes to attack the fence on Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday morning.

Projectiles and tear gas flew across the sky, in what one observer described as a scene resembling a battlefield. Several fires were then lit outside the courthouse before police declared a riot and emerged from the building. Federal agents then […]
Protesters in Seattle have clashed with the officers, vandalised several buildings and set fire to a construction site for a county juvenile detention facility, forcing local police to declare a riot due to “public safety risks.” After a group of protesters set fire to the King County facility construction site, police have issued “dispersal orders” and were forced to deploy “less-lethal munitions” to clear the area and secure access to the fire for the city’s fire department. In response the officers were pelted with stones, bottles, liquid-filled balloons and other projectiles, as well as “some sort of explosives,” Seattle Police Department said on […]
