Portland protestors used a very unique technique to protect themselves over the weekend when they formed a "wall of moms."
A group of women joined together in what you could describe as a human shield. Videos surfaced of them chanting "Moms are here, feds stay clear" and "Leave our kids alone."
Portland has been turned upside down since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Massive protests have been calling for racial justice and radical change in policing policies.
Videos have surfaced of federal agents using unmarked vehicles to detain protestors without explanation.
Bev Barnum, 35, said to BuzzFeed News that after she saw the video of the federal authorities' actions this is what inspired her to create the "wall of moms."
I’m just standing here in a gas mask thinking, “Are they gonna attack these moms?” as antifa teens scamper around me with pieces of fence.

President Trump defends the use of agents and pointed out how the cities have lost control.
We are trying to help Portland, not hurt it. Their leadership has, for months, lost control of the anarchists and agitators. They are missing in action. We must protect Federal property, AND OUR PEOPLE. These were not merely protesters, these are the real deal!

President Trump has preached "law and order" over the previous weeks and he is pushing for cities across the country to regain control.
