‘No arrests’: Portland protesters pelt officers with ice, break windows of businesses as police RETREAT and post pictures (VIDEO)
RT ^ | 2/13/21

Portland police say officers “remained out of sight as much as possible” after being pelted with snowballs by protesters, who would go on to damage multiple businesses after the police retreat.

Portland, Oregon continues to deal with protests turning violent, even though police are bending over backward to stay out of sight – according to the latest police statements on Friday’s violent protest.

Despite heavy snowfall, 30 to 50 protesters marched on Friday night to the Central Precinct, according to the Portland Police Department. The demonstrators proceeded to throw snowballs at police vehicles and then at officers when they left the station to move the vehicles to prevent damage.

“Quit your job!” protesters yelled at officers as they were pelted with snowballs. The cops did not engage.

Police eventually moved back inside the precinct and locked the doors, ignoring protesters. The department defended the decision as “an effort to avoid confrontation and de-escalate the situation.”

Now I’m confused. I thought it was going to be all peace and unity once Biden became president.

Camala - “They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And that should be — everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.”

I think the police in Portland are doing all they can, but the prosecutor just lets the rioters go. Some of them have been arrested dozens of times. All the police can do is get them off the streets for a few hours.

I keep thinking back to that incident in Washington DC, where the police allowed Antifa violence against a President Trump supporter, and then arrested another who was trying to protect her. In response, a US Vet yelled “We were on your side. Now you have both sides against you.”

How many agents were dispatched to Talladega within hours of reports of a “noose” in a black NASCAR driver’s garage?

Then it will never stop. I remember the police themselves asking why they should arrest them when many are released and never prosecuted, but at some point they have to say enough is enough.

One of the major issues we have in society is lack of punishment — at every level — which leads to more disruptive behavior and lawlessness, not less.

Someone should ask the question “Has Biden called either the mayor of Portland or the Gov of Oregon and told them to put an end to the rioting? He is, after all, the “president” and the head of the Media-Dem Party.

No ‘mostly peaceful’ riots in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’

Granted, it’s TEN BELOW ZERO, today.

Socialist Democrats are obviously ‘Fair Weather Warriors.’

So when is Xi Jen Ping going to sent these anarchists a few CONEX shipping containers full of AK 47s and other military ordnance such as RPGs?

Come on Xi, why are you dragging your feet?

Get on with it.

They aren’t able to blame Republicans, so their invasion doesn’t count as one.
