A group of veterans formed a line in front of protesters in Portland on Friday as the city endured another night of tense demonstrations.
According to footage shot by the New York Times and USA Today, the group of dozens of veterans served as a barrier between law enforcement and protesters. They joined a group of Portland mothers calling themselves “Wall of Moms,” who chanted,“Moms are here. Feds stay clear.”
Both groups were eventually dispersed with tear gas and other crowd control agents used by the federal forces.
