It looked like Portland was doing fine with its violence quotient prior to the Proud Boys showing up. Just saying.

Obviously? An LEO is obligated by law to arrest anyone they witness commit a misdemeanor, let alone a felony. I do understand that the left leaning governments in Portland, etc. have prohibited the police from performing their duty, but I don't think that was to assist the "pro-cop" side.

I can tell you from personal experience that almost no one ever has not been pulled over because they sported the type of sticker you describe.

I assume from this statement that you have empirical evidence to back it up? I only ask as I'm always required to provide it, so it seems only fair.
