Portland lawyers dispute claim that police used excessive violence against antifa

Lawyers in Portland, Oregon, are encouraging a judge to toss a lawsuit alleging that the city's police force used excessive violence against antifa.

The city's attorneys responded to complaints filed by three antifa protesters who claimed that police assaulted them during a summer 2018 outburst.

“That the city somehow condones or sympathizes with fascists is simply an outrageous claim that should be properly stricken,’’ Deputy City Attorney Michael Jeter argued to U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman. “It unnecessarily impugns the character of the city and its officers. It’s scandalous and has no business being in the lawsuit," he continued.

Used excessive force against Antifa. REALLY??? Have you seen how these animals act and treat people, police and property. They all need their asses kicked in a jail cell, not crying about how they are mistreated by the police.
