Oregon Had to Clear Parks and Streets of Staging Areas to End Riot Activity — They Did and No Rioting at Federal Courthouse on Thursday
RedState ^ | July 31, 2020 | Shipwreckedcrew

Posted on 07/31/2020 8:39:54 AM PDT by sickoflibs

I noted first for RedState readers early on Wednesday morning that serious talks had taken place on Monday and Tuesday between the Governor of Oregon and senior officials of the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.

Negotiations Under Way For Oregon To Provide Security For Portland Courthouse.

Those talks included the Deputy Director of the FBI, who met with the Oregon Governor Kate Brown, likely to provide her with intelligence on the nature of the worsening threat posed by escalating levels of violence in the nightly rioting at the federal courthouse in Portland.

Later in the day on Wednesday, after the Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security had put out separate statements that seemed to not be fully in agreement on the terms of a resolution that both sides were announcing having reached, I explained to RedState readers in this article that DHS was demanding specific action by the Governor — which she had acknowledged having agreed to — namely that the state and local police would clear the parks and streets around the federal courthouse.

DHS Demands Oregon Governor Clear Parks And Streets Around Courthouse

I took specific note of language in Secretary Chad Wolf’s press release announcing the agreement where he said:

That plan includes a robust presence of Oregon State Police in downtown Portland. State and local law enforcement will begin securing properties and streets, especially those surrounding federal properties….

With 24 hours to prepare, what did the State of Oregon and City of Portland muster up the courage to do today, after having failed to take any action for the prior 63 days while rioters attacked the federal building each night? Something as simple as this:

Or, they could be taking a day off to rest for a weekend assault. You know so the ones that have jobs can come out and play too. Jobs? This is their job.

Yeah. I had a feeling they’d stand down to make their crazy narrative that the feds were instigating the violence seem credible. More likely, they knew the optics had shifted in DJT’s favor.

President Trump was right AND forcefully negotiated a settlement with the governor AND moved the situation to the President’s preferred direction.

Sooo....
Trump won

They need to set up a place for “protestors” that has clear fields of fire.

Don't expect it to be reported that way.

If this keeps up over the weekend, a big if, expect to hear the narrative that Trump caused the months of riots by sending his ‘Storm Troopers’ in

Minor correction :

They need to set up a place for “peaceful protesters” that has clear fields of fire.”

You mean like obxxx commented yesterday: “George Wallace may be gone but we have those folks sending in troops to use tear gas and batons on peaceful PROtestors.” I almost puked. These UPOS know no bounds at the depth of divisiveness they’ll go to. And the funeral crowd stood and clapped. Disgusting.

This absolutely confirms all of the rioting is coordinated by the Communist DNC.

True they have been at it since the 1930’s. They won’t ever stop.

They must be destroyed once and for all. Beginning with kindergarten and working up to those Marxist Professors.

Deroy Murdock: Orwellian Democrats claim Portland’s Violence = Peace

DHS’s deployment to Portland is not ritual chest-beating. It’s not toxic masculinity. It’s the law!

The governor and mayor announce that the Federal police (Pelosi Storm troopers) are leaving tomorrow (was yesterday )and last night had only peaceful protests(will see if it lasts the weekend).

So Dems narrative is that this is proof that Trump’s Storm troopers were causing the riots, they all went home and now it’s the summer of love in Portland.

I expect that will be the narrative on CNN,MSNBC, ABC, CBS,...

Police must have cleared out the park before noon when the ‘peaceful protesters’ were sleeping.

They want to know where their stimulus checks are
