All those articles are basically saying the same thing (and all the videos aside from one by Fox seem to contradict the articles and are promoting opposition of federal occupation) and they do not provide evidence of names, photos, or videos of the officers affected (not to say that it did not happen but they haven't proved it). These are good examples of how the actions of a select few are being used to discredit thousands of non-violent protesters. Also good examples of how the mainstream media is trying to blame these responses to the violence from police as the actual original incidents, when it has been the feds and police instigating the violence the whole time. They always start with tear gas and other riot munitions previous to the few instances of aggressive reactions. New information is coming out every day which makes it hard to keep my information up to date, but i do appreciate the counter points, and I am not buying into or falling for anything, just reporting on what is actually happening from the view point of the thousands of non-violent protesters experiencing it. There are some people that are stepping over the lines they should not cross, but those few people should not define these Portland protests as a whole when thousands of people are ALL being non-violent, the police are consistently and persistently crossing lines they should not, and pushing these few protesters to these actions. If there are protesters blinding officers with lasers I (along with most of the protesters) am 100% against that and any other violent reaction. I am not out to defend anyone who is acting out of violence in this situation (police, feds, or protesters), just those that are NOT and being accused as such.
Also the claim of protesters violently attacking police for 52 nights in a row is not true, and the feds are not civilian police officers, they are military being labeled as police. That is the narrative that the mainstream media is pushing that contrasts the footage they are not publishing like what is displayed here. The following link provides the most credible mainstream media coverage I have seen so far, although they did not cover what was behind the Portland Mayor's publicity stunt:
