I sent an email to Mayor Wheeler of Portland Oregon. This is the response I received,
Good Afternoon,
I'm pleased the Governor and the Multnomah County Sheriff responded favorably to my request for mutual aid to implement the great planning work Portland Police have done to be ready for this weekend's potential protests. The additional resources provided by the state police will go a long way to ensuring we are able to do everything possible to be ready when alt-right and white nationalist groups come to our city.
We all agree our state and our nation are facing unprecedented threats. I want our entire community to know - first and foremost - our shared priority is to ensure and protect the safety and well-being of everyone in the face of rampant divisiveness and ongoing violence. Having a unified command structure uniting the resources of the state, the county and the city is a timely and appropriate response to the threat we face.
I categorically condemn violence of all kinds by all people. But let me be clear, the alt-right and white supremacist groups organizing to come to Portland on Saturday present the greatest threat we've faced so far.
These groups embody and empower racism, intolerance and hate. Those are not Portland values, and they are not welcome here. Hate has no home in Portland. They have actively threatened violence against elected officials and others in our community.
For Saturday to remain peaceful, we need everyone's help - the state, the county and the community. We must stand together, and we are. Together, we can prevent white nationalists from achieving their goals of spreading fear and intimidation and of misrepresenting Portland for political gain.
We will always support the rights of people to peacefully assemble. And we will always stand against those who provoke violence, regardless of their beliefs.
Again, I want to thank the Oregon State Police and the Multnomah County Sheriff for their support. Because of their leadership, combined with that of Portland Police Chief Lovell, I'm hopeful everyone will stay safe this weekend. I also want to thank the City of Milwaukie and the City of Lake Oswego, who also responded to our request for additional officers and support.
Finally, I know there's a lot of interest in the use of tear gas. My order banning the Portland Police from using tear gas for crowd control remains in place.
This weekend don't give out of town racists and bullies the satisfaction of distracting us, or slowing us down. Let's keep our focus on what's important and keep pressing forward together. And once again, thanks to our partners for responding to our request for mutual aid under these extraordinary circumstances.
Sincerely, Mayor Ted Wheeler
In other words, he works for the anarchists as they terrorize the city.
Wonder how much this guy is getting from Soros and company.
Arrest Mayor Wheeler, give him a 5 minute trial, and then, well you know the rest...
The stores have been sold out of KKK and White Supremecist outfits for months.
I’m just glad the costumes come in plus sizes so they can get them over their Antifa gear.
My home in Portland is going up for sale in less than 3 weeks. I hope I get a deal before the election. I was born here, spent almost my entire adult life here. Portland left me and I don’t want to wait for BLM to march up my street and demand I “take a side” or else.
God Bless and Keep You Safe!
I’m glad you’re getting out. Good luck with the sale.
Wow - thanks for posting.
Brazen tyranny.
Unfortunately, the residents of Portland - a town I truly love - will eagerly reelect him in the next election!
Only Portland is inhospitable, right? You can live anywhere else in Oregon.
You got that right. However probably before post 10 someone will be praising him for taking a tough stand against the criminals. What they don’t know and don’t care to know is that from his point of view, them and us are the criminals.
A lot.
What in the world is a white supremacist outfit?
A hard decision. I understand that it is difficult, but if you want to go on living it is your only choice. I hope you get out in time.
Oh, really? This support? Neither one is going to police Saturday's rally and you're the reason why.
Criminal government in action. east germany and the soviet union had government like this.

This Wheeler is in Antifa/BLM hub along with governor and both senators.
Guns from China shipped into Port of Portlandand other supplies for their tortoise army. They ship out of Portland to other cities. These politicians here are enemy combatants on Soros foundation payroll by hook or by crook.
They belong in PRISON.
They also have now thrown homeless from Antifa/BLM out there n the streets and given them nothing. From r all we know, they are using the arson fires federal aide money to fund ANTIFA/BLM.
Their corruption is unconscionable!
Fire victims have NO WHERE TO GO AND NO MONEY.
They’re all kicked out of fairgrounds and other areas TODAY
Tortoise=TERRORIST ARMY
