Portland cops probably thinking: tired of this shit, you either want policing of your protests or you don't - we'll see how you like this wild west alternative.....

There's this kumbaya delusion with this crowd that everyone can get along and can self-govern. On that front, look how well CHAZ n Seattle worked out...

Yes, some cops will be bad guys and will have to be punished. Some doctors will be bad guys too. Does that mean we should do away with them and practice self-medicine? Or do we want to enforce regulation? (See how that segues into libertarian ideas about vaccines, masks and lockdowns?)

Grow up, it's not a perfect world, every policing agent is not going to be perfect and 100% fair, bad things do happen to good people. All the time. People get handcuffed wrongly because they look like the perp, people get cancer and people get covid and die, we do the best we can. Yes in the old days pioneers out west were "freer", they could also become the Donner party, get shot dead by native tribes or die from sepsis when they got a cut on their hand...
