The Mayor of Portland says he is determined to reclaim the city from the 'anarchistic mob' that has inflicted 'criminal intimidation and violence' on its streets over the past year.
Mayor Ted Wheeler called on the pubic to help him identify the people responsible for the rioting and destruction Portland so he could 'unmask them, arrest them and prosecute them.'
In a news conference on Friday addressing continuing violence in the city, Wheeler praised BLM leaders for showing 'the courage to stand up to this mob' and said that all Portland residents should do the same.
'Together we can make a stand… and take our city back,' he added.
The city has announced that it will extend its state of emergency through Monday amid fears of continuing violence over the weekend.
The mayor said that the community needs to resume their lives but 'self-described anarchists who engage in regular criminal destruction don't want things to open up, to recover.'
'They want to burn, they want to bash... they want to intimidate, they want to assault,' he continued, referencing the nearly $20,000 worth of damage caused to a local Boys and Girls Club in the north east of the city.
