Portland moms form human shield to protect protesters from feds

New York Post – by Tamar Lapin

Hey, feds: Leave our kids alone!

Dozens of moms formed a human shield between anti-racism protesters and law enforcement officials outside a federal courthouse in downtown Portland on Sunday.

“Moms are here, feds stay clear,” chanted the group of about 100 women, according to footage posted on social media.

Many of the women wore yellow and donned bike helmets as they linked arms. They carried signs that read “Angry mama bear BLM” and “Moms are pissed.”

It was at least the second night in a row that the group showed up to the ongoing demonstrations against police brutality and racism.

On Saturday night, about 30 moms gathered outside the same courthouse to form a barrier between local and federal law enforcement officials and protesters.

They stood for a few hours before feds used tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd, according to reports.

“We are about protecting peaceful citizens’ right to protest,” Bev Barnum, the organizer of “Wall Of Moms,” told BuzzFeed News on Sunday.

The 35-year-old content marketer and mom of two said she’d hoped the group’s non-threatening appearance would allow them to provide protection to the protesters — but they were later tear gassed by federal officers anyway.

Still, she said she plans on continuing to organize for moms to attend the protests, which have been raging in the city for more than 50 days.

“We’ll be out until no protester needs protecting,” Barnum told the website.

  1. I am still not clear what BLM wants to see happen from all these protests. The whole police defunding is the craziest thing I have ever heard but seems to be happening in some places. What else do they want? When does this end?

    1. It ends when the people exercise their jurisdictional authority, take up their duty, and enforce the law on both the Marxist communists and the corporate communists, of which those so called police you are so worried about are the unlawful communist corporate enforcers.
      It ends when we remove the unlawful United States Corporation (See Title 28 Definition 15) and the unlawful 14th Amendment naming us as subjects to the unlawful corporation and we reinstate the absolute ratified law of the we the people (The Bill of Rights) and return our unlawfully removed common law courts where we exercise our exclusive individual rights to arrest and prosecute all the members of this communist occupation.

  2. FEDS? More like enemy! These are paid jack boot thug communists. Probably UN marxist accomplices.

    Going to get a hell of a lot worse before long as well.
