Federal officers in Portland break former Navy Seabee’s hand

 Old Ironsides is the nickname for the USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel still in use today. But it also might be a good monkier for the Navy veteran who unflinchingly took a beating on Saturday, July 18, from federal police in connection with the protests in Portland.

Christoper David, 53, is a local resident and veteran who served in the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps from 1988 to 1996 who walked the line held by the officers because he wanted to ask them about the oath they swore to protect and defend the Constitution, according to the Washington Post.

Instead, he left with two broken bones after being beaten with a baton and pepper sprayed in the face by those very same officers.

Intentionally attending a riot attacking people and destroying property and get smacked down.

Frankly I don't care if he had gotten shot.

You were lawfully told to leave. You did not.

Frankly, it doesn't take a boatload of common sense to (especially being bigger than the officers) not go messing with them. They are in 'junkyard dog' mode, and don't care why he is there. Neither the time nor the place to be asking rhetorical questions.
