Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler on Friday asked residents to help "unmask" the people behind violence at protests in recent weeks, which grew in fervor after police fatally shot a white man at Lents Park.
What he's saying: “They want to burn, they want to bash, they want to intimidate, they want to assault,” Wheeler said in a Friday video statement, referring to violent protestors. "Our community needs to resume their lives. People need to go back to work. Employers need to be able to reopen."
"I support our police using all legal strategies, including kettling, when the appropriate circumstances and resources are available to do so without putting officers at risk of physical harm."
"Our job is to unmask them, arrest them, and prosecute them," he said. "I want to personally thank neighbors, family, friends, and others who have come forward with vital evidence. People know who these criminals are. They know what they're up to."
Wheeler faced backlash for urging residents to call the police if they see people who are "all dressed in all black" arriving at protests in cars. His office in a follow-up statement said he was referring to "those who engage in criminal actions."

I’ve been expecting a ‘night of the long knives’, since January 20.
They are too dumb to realize it.
Sorry Mayor Wussy, the rioters gain the critical momentum last year when you would do NOTHING to stop them. Enjoy the steamroller.
He was all for Antifa, when he thought they could help get rid of President Trump.
Drop dead Ted. You helped create this monster, now deal with the consequences you so richly deserve.
if any city would be ripe for a purge law. Portland would be a good place to test the law out before implementation in other large libral cesspool’s
Portland is an Antifa/BLM hub and the mayor, the governor plus two demonrat senators have benn protecting these thugs for going on 2 years now! They ask for the public’s help?? ???
They have done NOTHING TO STOP THEM.
They have not imposed a curfew, they have not called out the Guard and they told Trump to LEAVE AND THEY DID’NT NEED FED HELP.
Now they act like they can DO NOTHING and need the public’s help???
What a bunch of LYING, CRIMINAL AHOLES THEY ARE!
I think Portland is ground zero for Antifa.
The mayor was told how to effectively handle this but he did not understand what good it would do to give the rioters “a whiff of grape-something or other.” So he did nothing.
No, Biden is in office and the Left no longer needs the rioters.
Yep, Makes the most sense .
Hey Mr. Mayor: You are a gutless, linguini-spined human being. To say nothing of being a day late and a dollar short. You should have stopped these anarchists months ago, but you chose to try to placate them instead. Bad move.
Has Wheeler finally figured out that ANTIFA isn’t his friends?
How could there be anyone to go after if it’s just an idea?
Useful idiots are no longer useful.
Come on' man!
Heh
Oh, so NOW he wakes up to the threat
Yes, now their shock troops are a bit of problem.
NOW that Biden is in office.
Wheeler is a Marxist coward and is only trying to cover his incompetent, pro-Antifa ass. Nothing else can logically explain his behavior over the past year. NOTHING!
