A video posted Thursday by VIDMAX.com shows a crowd of roughly 150 Portland State student and community activists rowdily protest the school’s armed campus police force — a raucous protest that largely condemned capitalism as racist and oppressive.
The protest and its die-in, the latter of which took place in the middle of the street and blocked traffic, was staged Tuesday, May 10. The action was organized by “Disarm PSU” — a group still furious over a 2-year-old decision by the board of trustees to create an armed campus police force.
The protesters chanted the university is a “police state,” “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “Disarm PSU.” The board of trustees “kills us,” one demonstrator said into a bullhorn. Another accused police of being a “tool of capitalism to control people into staying where they are, staying in slavery, staying in poverty wages, staying in ridiclous working conditions.” Next up, a female demonstrator took the mic and declared: “We are fighting against racism. We are fighting against capitalism. And we are fighting against patriarchy.”
The video’s producers also note on Facebook that some speakers called police rapists, praised Palestine, and called for ending cooperation with immigration enforcement. Watch this video and just be glad you don’t live in Portlandia:
The protest was the latest in a string of actions by Disarm PSU campus activists over the last year. They have also continually disrupted board meetings.

As for university leaders, they have thoroughly explained the rationale behind their decision.
“Portland State is an urban campus that blends with the surrounding city gives us unique challenges,” officials say on the university website. “The campus community needs to know that, on occasion, dangerous offenders who are not affiliated with the university come on campus and commit crimes.”
Aside from being able to use guns, campus police officers also “issue citations, investigate sexual assaults, apply for search warrants, impose mental health holds and involuntary detox, and will receive state public service training and certification. They will also be able to go off campus to follow up on crimes and check in on students who are suspected to be a risk to themselves or others.”
(No wonder these radical students don’t want cops on campus.)
Scott Gallagher, a university spokesman, told The Oregonian that despite the protest, the police force is final; Portland State already has eight armed officers and plans to add four additional armed officers over the next two years, Gallagher said. The university also has nine unarmed campus security officers.
“While we support our students’ right to free speech,” Gallagher told the newspaper, “the decision to create a sworn Portland State University police force was made by the Board of Trustees in 2014 after more than two years of study and debate with students, faculty, staff and the community.”

>The House is under attack by hackers hoping to infiltrate congressional computers, encrypt their contents, and then force users to pay a ransom to get their access back.
>“In the past 48 hours, the House Information Security Office has seen an increase of attacks on the House Network using third party, web-based mail applications such as YahooMail, Gmail,” the House’s Technology Service Desk wrote in an email to House staffers on April 30.
>According to the email obtained by The Intercept, the hacked emails impersonate familiar people and invite staffers to download an attachment laced with malware — what’s known as a “phishing” attack.
>“When a user clicks on the link in the attack email, the malware encrypts all files on that computer, including shared files, making them unusable until a ‘ransom’ is paid,” the email said.
>But House administrative offices refused to say how many if any attacks have been successful, what sort of data may have been affected, or how much has been paid in ransom, if anything.
>“The potential for ransomware attacks the House faces is similar to any large organization,” a spokesman for the Chief Administrative Officer of the House wrote in a statement to The Intercept. “The House recognizes the importance of taking steps to employ a cyber security plan to protect our infrastructure, and we constantly work to improve training and education for all House users.”
>A lockdown on parts of the House internet network — from Wi-Fi to Ethernet — remains ongoing.
...
>Access to both YahooMail and Google Cloud services hosted by Google’s appspot.com appear to be completely blocked on the House’s network, according to Ted Henderson, a former Hill staffer and founder of two social-network applications designed for Capitol Hill communication: Cloakroom and Capitol Bells. It’s unclear if both blockages, not just Yahoo’s, are related to the ransomware attacks.
>Henderson says his several thousand users cannot post to the social networks inside the House office buildings. The way Cloakroom works, you’re normally able to log in either anonymously simply by using Capitol Hill Wi-Fi or with your staff email address. The Senate office buildings don’t appear to be affected.
>“This is the first time I’ve seen this happen at a scale like this in five years,” Henderson wrote The Intercept in an email.
>In recent months, several lawmakers have penned letters asking the Obama administration how it’s dealing with the problem of ransomware — a type of attack more than two dozen government agencies have admitted to confronting in the past as well.
>Now that Congress itself is the target, security researchers are hopeful the issue will draw more national attention. “What you’re seeing in Congress is just part of what’s happening,” Markus Jakobsson, founder of ZapFraud, a scam email detection service, and an expert on phishing attacks told The Intercept. “This will hopefully bring some awareness to decision makers. … once they start [going after Congress], there will be changes.”
>Ransomware attacks take many forms. Some hackers have managed to infect entire websites with malware.
>It’s not clear whether the current spate of attacks on the House network were targeted, or whether House users just happened to find themselves among the ever-growing number of victims.

>SALT LAKE CITY — Utah political leaders and anti-pornography activists said Tuesday that children’s minds are being corrupted in a world where graphic sexual images are a click away.
>Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert signed two pieces of legislation on Tuesday that aim to combat what's called "a sexually toxic environment" caused by porn.
>Herbert spoke during a ceremonial signing of the declaration — calling pornography a plague, pandemic and scourge that warps children’s minds, threatens marriages and contributes to sexual violence.
>"Pornography is a public health crisis. Today I signed two bills that will bring its dangers to light. S.C.R. 9 calls for additional research and education so that more individuals and families are aware of the harmful effects of pornography," said Herbert.
>It also says pornography "equates violence toward women and children with sex and pain with pleasure, which increases the demand for sex trafficking, prostitution, child sexual abuse images, and child pornography."
>"Pornography encourages viewers to view their sexual partners in a dehumanized way, and it increases the acceptance and enjoyment of sexual violence and harmful beliefs about women, sex and rape."
>State Sen. Todd Weiler, chief sponsor of both pieces of legislation, said, "Pornography today is like tobacco was 70 years ago," comparing the addictive effects.
>Many at ceremony were young people wearing T-shirts with the phrase, “Porn kills love.”
>The bill requires that computer technicians who find child pornography during their work should report it to law enforcement officials. The bill further stipulates that "the willful failure to report the child pornography" would be a class B misdemeanor.

>China scrambled fighter jets on Tuesday as a U.S. navy ship sailed close to a disputed reef in the South China Sea, a patrol China denounced as an illegal threat to peace which only went to show its defense installations in the area were necessary.
>Guided missile destroyer the USS William P. Lawrence traveled within 12 nautical miles (22 km) of Chinese-occupied Fiery Cross Reef, U.S. Defense Department spokesman Bill Urban said.
>The so-called freedom of navigation operation was undertaken to "challenge excessive maritime claims" by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam which were seeking to restrict navigation rights in the South China Sea, Urban said.
>"These excessive maritime claims are inconsistent with international law as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention in that they purport to restrict the navigation rights that the United States and all states are entitled to exercise," Urban said in an emailed statement.
>China and the United States have traded accusations of militarizing the South China Sea as China undertakes large-scale land reclamation and construction on disputed features while the United States has increased its patrols and exercises.
>Facilities on Fiery Cross Reef include a 3,000-metre (10,000-foot) runway which the United States worries China will use to press its extensive territorial claims at the expense of weaker rivals.
...
>China's Defence Ministry said two fighter jets were scrambled and three warships shadowed the U.S. ship, telling it to leave.
>The U.S. patrol "again proves that China's construction of defensive facilities on the relevant reefs in the Nansha Islands is completely reasonable and totally necessary", it said, usingChina's name for the Spratly Islands where much of its reclamation work is taking place.
>Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said the U.S. ship illegally entered Chinese waters.
>"This action by the U.S. side threatened China's sovereignty and security interests, endangered the staff and facilities on the reef, and damaged regional peace and stability," he told a daily news briefing.
>U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry waved aside a question as to whether the U.S. aim was to send a message ahead of a visit to Asia by President Barack Obama this month.
>"This is not a pointed strategy calculated to do anything except keep a regular process of freedom of navigation operations underway," he told reporters in London.
