CLACKAMAS, Ore. – The sheriffs of Clackamas and Washington County say they will not send staff to help with protests in Portland after Oregon Governor Kate Brown unveiled a plan to address the violence at protests....
Clackamas Co. Sheriff Craig Roberts said the governor didn’t approach his office before rolling out the plan, intended to address the violence and arson while also protecting free speech.
“Increasing law enforcement resources in Portland will not solve the nightly violence and now, murder,” the sheriff said. “The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.”
Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett cited several risks that led to the decision, including "the lack of political support for public safety, the...

Wheeler can pick up the phone any time and call the President. So can the Governor. He'll take their call.

Why take a brick for the Governor when she is the first one to have you charged for Police Brutality.
Later.
This is a big deal.
Nothing can get better while the new portland DA is in there.
What’s the point of throwing more law enforcement resources in there when the DA consistently drops the vast majority of charges?
Why would cops arrest anyone since the government is letting them out of jail??
I prefer they wait and let the ones that voted for them start the recall......
Washington County Sherif Pat Garrett??????
Babylon Bee time. Billy the Kid laid to rest again.

Revolving door of justice.
Indeed it is! And rather satisfying to see.
Bravo to the Sheriffs for watching out for their people. It stinks for the people trapped in Portland but...elections have consequences. Maybe next time they’ll elect someone with backbone and respect for law and order. Portland, this is what you asked for, now you have it. How does it taste?
Good for them. Why risk your life to round up these a-holes if the D.A. and Attorney General’s Office aren’t going to prosecute. The A.G. is a female...Democrat. All this liberalness is getting people killed.
The sheriff is channeling Trump.
Make Portland Safe Again!

Police and sheriffs are not manned nor equipped for this.
The taxpayers pay for the National Guard....this is their job.
See what happens when you piss on the cops?
When the DA will not prosecute the rioters, but will prosecute any misstep by a cop, cops from outlying areas won’t help. We’re seeing exactly this same thing with the City of Atlanta, DA Paul Howard, and the suburban city and county PDs. No mutual aid for CoA, just as we’re seeing no mutual aid for Portland in this story.
Gee, what on earth will the governor, and antifa (but I repeat myself) do when Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys come back this weekend?
What if it’s a 1,000 truck caravan populated with men with rifles?
