Federal agents were seen wrestling a protester holding a US flag and a leaf blower to the ground as the latest violent crackdown on demonstrations in Portland lasted through the night.
The footage, posted to social media, shows at least four heavily-armoured officers subduing a protester as he lies in the road. The sounds of flash bangs can be heard in the background as other armed officers stand by and smoke from tear gas drifts past.
One officer kneeling over the protester takes away the flag – which at one point covers the officer's head – while another removes his leaf blower, a domestic tool used by some demonstrators to disperse tear gas.

'That’s an illegal order': veterans challenge Trump's officers in Portland
Two veterans asked federal agents if they understood their oath to defend the constitution and why they weren’t honoring their oath of office.
David said the officers’ response Saturday night to a largely peaceful crowd was completely disproportionate. But he said, it was also clear that they were not trained for this type of situation.
“They have no tactical cohesion to what they’re doing,” he said. “Duston and I are vets. We can tell what’s going on with these guys. There was no sort of command. They were running around and they were scared.”
