That is horrifying.
Are these private contractors? I think we have a bunch of Blackwater types out there with very little training, big guns and permission from somebody to terrorize us.
It's a big karma slap to America - we did this to the Iraqis and Afghans and then immigrants, now its been unleashed on us.
This writer says they are private contractors, which would explain in part the lack of identification on their uniforms.

What has not been reported widely in the media, however, is the fact that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unit that is coordinating the “crowd control” effort — an agency called the Federal Protective Service (FPS) — is composed largely of contract security personnel. Those contractors are being furnished to FPS by major private-sector security companies like Blackwater corporate descendant Triple Canopy as well as dozens of other private security firms.
In fact, FPS spends more than $1 billion a year on these contract security guards who are authorized to conduct crowd control at federal properties, such as those in Portland. And, based on available photographic and document evidence, it appears those private contractors are now part of the federal force arrayed in Portland and are likely to be part of the federal response President Trump has promised to stand up in multiple other cities, including Chicago, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia and other urban centers led by Democratic mayors across the country.
