Before yielding to the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Kelly), I would just point out they are Federal law enforcement officials protecting Federal property in Portland, and they do identify themselves when they arrest someone, and they have identification on both shoulders. What else do you want them to do? If you come in in a marked car, you are going to get a brick through your window. Holy cow. They are behaving exactly the way anyone with common sense would and consistent with the rule of law that you would want them to behave in the situation they find themselves. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Kelly).
