Ahead of Aug. 17 demonstrations, Portland police explain general crowd control strategies

As far as I know, that poster hasn't been confirmed to be Antifa. There is a Proud Boys rally is scheduled. 

On why they don't arrest people that are in the middle of committing a criminal act every time:

Lt. Franz Schoening: "To go in and put hands on that person and arrest him safely without enflaming the rest of the crowd because they don't understand what we're trying to do, who we're trying to go in to arrest. So, we do the best we can, but sometimes it's just not safe to try and grab the one person or five people or 20 people that are engaging in criminal violent activity."

The difference between crowd management and crowd control:

Captain Craig Dobson: "When we start determining the risks outweigh our ability to communicate with the group or the group itself to be able to control itself, then you'll start seeing us moving in and putting officers on streets to block and help direct that crowd. That's our next step. If that works, great. Then, we'll back off from that and if it starts to flow again and work for us and it looks like they are able to get back and are able to control themselves and keep it peaceful. If that doesn't work, then we have to start looking at maybe making arrests."

Burbia; Hmm - would it be ironic if the shooters were Antifa!  Cheeki kea; It's either 3 or 4's.  I too have been told the same about 4 means death, when I moved to address with that number! Didn't take me long to move!! ;)

Always seems to be about 4, then they just choose one to be "The Lone Gunman". An asian worker told me 4 means death, (24 means quick death) said something about knowing the numbers when you see them.
