Federal authorities have been accused of violating the Geneva Convention after apparently destroying medical equipment during protests in Portland.

Reporter Sergio Olmos shared a video on Twitter Tuesday night showing medical supplies and protective gear covered in an orange liquid.

"It appears that federal officers, during dispersal, pepper sprayed the medical supplies in the tents," Olmos wrote.

The video prompted Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist and public health scientist at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, to tweet that it was "Fubar"—a military acronym for "f***ed up beyond all recognition."

1. Oh, they are there to serve an protect...the Trump Regime.

War crimes, huh? Can you have them sans a war?

11. You cannot have war crimes

Without a war. Despite several claims, none of what is happening is "war crimes".

The actions of the Feds are simply domestic crimes.

2. Earlier this week...

They also beat medics who were backing away from a patient on the sidewalk when they approached. They weren't concerned with the guy on the ground, they went after the medics with their clubs and gas.

Someone's head better roll for this!

10. So why aren't they being prosecuted?

13. Not to minimize what was done, but don't the Geneva Conventions only apply during war?

While what was done was terrible, it wasn't a war crime.
