Portland Federal Agents Accused of War Crimes for Destroying Medical Supplies

Federal authorities have been accused of violating the Geneva Convention after apparently destroying medical equipment during protests in Portland.

Reporter Sergio Olmos shared a video on Twitter Tuesday night showing medical supplies and protective gear covered in an orange liquid.

"It appears that federal officers, during dispersal, pepper sprayed the medical supplies in the tents," Olmos wrote.

The video prompted Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, to tweet that it was "Fubar"—a military acronym for "f***ed up beyond all recognition."

A complaint about unlawful destruction of private property might have merit. Ironically, but not unexpectedly (one would be justified in saying "predictably" ), Mr Trump's goons are doing exactly what they claim to be preventing others from doing.
