Better call Kamala. She’s says it’s not ending and it sounds like she’s ready to hit the front lines herself.

"I made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. It's a very delicate balancing act. Because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy, space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate."
- Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake 2015
It's the playbook. Give them "the space to destroy."

With political leadership like that, why would any police officer risk anything at all? Just walk away and see if Portland residents have any point where they find this intolerable. If not, let it all burn and if people get in trouble, oh well. No one in their right mind should be in any riot area at this point.

"Portland Mayor Says Let Violence Burn Itself Out [??? emphasis added] as Police Detail Nightly Destruction"Let violence burn itself out, coming from a government leader, can be roughly translated to lets lead from the rear imo.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

Arrest the Mayor for incitement. And then go out and do the job you were hired to do. Protect citizens.

As has been touched upon before, it may be time for the elderly with “One foot in the grave” and “Nothing to loose” to put a stop to this insanity.
Beyond disgusting that such thoughts even come to mind, but this garbage cannot be allowed to continue and grow.

I’ve watched live streams of Portland most days and it has turned into a game. Rioters get in the cops faces, cops run them off. Rinse and repeat. One of the chants the rioters/protesters often use is about doing this every night. As time goes on the noise and squalor moves into residential areas and I am sure converts Slow Joe lovers to law and order man, Trump.
It’s all fun and games until somebody gets hurt.

Yeah that worked well with the nazis.
What these people want and how powerful the forces behind them are, are being misread by so many.

“””which began in May following the death of George Floyd””
So this idiot mayor is letting Portland burn to the ground in honor of a career criminal who died of a drug overdose.
