Only explanation is “Mayor, Governor.”
Forget it Jake, it’s Portlandia.
The police do what they’re told. Police cannot decide on their own to enforce the law. The mayor and governor are now responsible for anything that happens in the occupied zone.
bkmk
Ordered to stand down.
The mayor and governor want this for some reason. I guess they think it will help their cause.
Perhaps God is confusing their counsels as this can only hurt them and they don’t seem to see it.
Please, God, let them continue to self-destruct.
This is how the radical left works.
The setup a test case city to see what they can get past voters.
Seattle will never go GOP so if voters revolt, they will just vote in Democrats again.
BLM began in Oakland (no damage)
ELF began in San Francisco-Berkeley (voters nixed them and ELF vanished)
Black Panthers in CA (they went underground and are back)
SEIU in Oakland and Maryland (now International)
Antifa began in Germany as a version of RAF (now everywhere in the USA)
Except for the Black Panthers, Conservatives warned the GOP-e that these were radical groups designed to destroy the USA.
Their response....they attacked Conservatives and went back to following leaders like McCain, Ryan and Graham.
Why are the police there if they just watch? Send them home!
These people in Portland are just too stupid to govern themselves. Their government needs to be disbanded and martial law needs to be imposed until the lawlessness if stopped.
Stop capitalizing the race color.
I’m rootin’ for the terrorists. The people of Portland deserve them.
Because the politicans (and I suspect at the very least, police leadership,) have repeatedly allowed very dangerous people to take over swaths of the town, allowing them block entire blocks, doing nothing.
They've even allowed the dangerous criminals to nearly allow Andy Ngo, a libertarian journalist, to be nearly beaten to death, while the police looking on, and even telling him, bleeding and in serious distress, that he needed to go back across the rioters WITH NOT POLICE ESCORT to get to an ambulance.
