A brief video clip viewed millions of times shows a federal officer hitting a Navy veteran with a baton during a protest in downtown Portland on Saturday.

That same night, a Multnomah County commissioner said she could barely breathe after inhaling tear gas deployed by federal law enforcement. Demonstrators and local leaders say these are examples of how federal officers in Portland are using overly aggressive tactics.

“They were just almost like a gang with sticks,” said Chris David, 53, of Portland.

David suffered a broken hand and bruising after being struck with a baton by federal officers during Saturday's protest in downtown Portland.

“I was not doing anything provocative or aggressive. I was just standing there with my arms by my side. That’s all I was doing,” explained David.
