Is this what you are talking about @WVK ?

Just a note:  Looting is not the same as Rioting.

Did not see anything about babies being used as sheilds.  Also, the only stories that came up were from the NY Post & Fox news.  Not very balanced reporting.

I don't know.  I use a privacy search and only looked at the first two pages.  Maybe the other news channels did not report this or there is so much by Fox that it is further down in the list.

I don't think that video showed the correct context.  People were protesting, The police made it into a riot, I did  not see anyone attacking police, just shouting and running.  The babies were not being used as shields.  Typical manipulative reporting.

CPS needs to be called on the idiot.

If the person can be identified, I think custody should be revoked.  THAT behavior is insane.  It's overtly, blatantly endangering an innocent's life.

Fair enough... but why would any responsible parent take their infant ANYWHERE NEAR such a location?

The video showed federal troops using various methods to get people off of federal property  that would be possibly fatal to an infant and then the mother using that baby by forcing it to walk between protesters and and troops to discourage the feds from using force, which if a cop had not seen the baby could have resulted in the kids death.  Which video did you watch?  Extremely negligent parent who should have her kid removed from her custody.

If you have to attack the source and not the argument then you already lost.

I still think it the actual context is missing.  Of course a rational person would not take a baby to a riot.  I can't even guess based on the limited view point what was really going that triggered the cops to act the way they did.  Maybe when I have more time I will find better sources.

I did see the video, and I told you, the context is missing from the video.  The source is suspect if they don't start with what actually triggered the event, instead, they started with incindiary remarks before and during the video.

It's not what the cops did, it's what the mom did.  Risked her child's life stupidly and for no good reason.

No. It's not missing.  Are you blind?

But you don't know why the mom happened to be in that area when things went south, you can't make up anything about her.  In order to judge you have to know why she was there and why she had her baby with her.  And it would help to know the real reason things escalated.

Yes.  You do know why she was in the area because the guy with the camera spoke to her asking why she had a baby with her.  She said to promote freedom. You obviously did not watch the whole video.

"Portland police declare ‘riot’ again – as city sees 38th straight day of unrest. Rioters burned American flags “while shouting BLM and antifa slogans,” a local journalist says"

Why no mention by CNN, MSNBC, NYT etc?

Because you were acting like it's not true because you didn't like the web-sites that bothered to publish it despite you being able to see exactly what happened yourself.  Very frustrating.

I did watch the whole video.  The  sound was hard to hear, but still, promoting freedom is not the same as rioting.  Why did the person making the video not clariofy what caused the police to react the way they did if it was a protest.  I could tell there was no intention in that woman with the baby to be involved in a riot.  Once things went south, which we did not see the beginning of, she was trying to get out of there.

Because they know the more the rest of the USA see's cities dominated by democrats going insane and tearing themselves apart the worse Biden's chances in November.
