The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office told news outlets that prosecutors were declining to prosecute the case.

It’s unfortunate that the police can’t shoot these bastards, with lead bullets. This crap would end real quick.

Why not? They refuse to engage for whatever reason. Now they are getting bullied. That’s life

These bastards will continue to do this as long as they believe the police will not shoot. That policy needs to change.

When the anarchists switch over to suicide vests — they will put them on misguided teens, or children. Never on themselves.

“’The officer’s face shield protected him from what would have likely been a very serious injury,’ the bureau said in an incident summary.”

Ah, so it’s ok then.

“The crowd mostly dissipated by 2 a.m.’

Also fantastic news, “’Mostly’ dissipated” by 2 am.

Clearly, the bars should be open(ed).

The criminal reparations-seeker Demetria Hester should be charged, tried, convicted, and sent to PRISON!!!!

Leniency to criminals like Hester only leads to more riots, injuries, and deaths!! Throw the book at her!!!!!

That’s one hell of a ball bearing. Nasty.

I have to think these cops are getting way past tired of being standing targets for the rioters; with no support from the city government or the DA’s office.

Looks like a pinball ball, 1.0625” diameter.

I’m a pinball player, not a rioter, Jim.

“ Reparations are payments to ancestors of slaves I’m OK with this.“

I am not. A Great War was fought. Slaves are no longer kept in America, and haven’t been for 155 years. They are owed nothing more than an equal shot at making good for themselves. No Republican ever owned a slave.

I think that every time I see these riots. The police should give an ultimatum to the city - we will resign en masse unless they are authorized to defend themselves appropriately, meaning shooting people who are trying to kill or seriously maim them.

Ok, enough is enough. Set a sniper a good distance away with a good 338 LAPUA and sound reduction and have at it. BLOWING THE HEADS OFF THESE BASTARDS will not piss me off .
