The cops will probably go after the pro-Trump crowds.

The State troopers left because they weren’t prosecuting anyone.

Where has she been for the last 3 months, under some rock? These riots would have been put down within the first few days if the spineless politicians responded with the necessary amount of force to clear the streets. The prosecutors would also need to do their jobs and prosecute criminals. We are on day 95 because none of these clowns 🤡 stepped up to do their jobs.

I guess “defund the police” didn’t work. Back to plan A.

if they actually start putting these riots down, it isn’t because it is the right thing to do, to protect their citizens, businesses, etc. - it is simply due to the politics of the upcoming election and the increasing signs their existence is damaging Biden politically.

That’s how messed up these people are.

The governor could still activate the NG if she wanted to stop the riots, assaults, looting, and murders.

Politics is more important though.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown screwed herself by calling the Oregon State Police stupid by sending them in to a job where the prosecutor chose not to charge 500 of the 550 arrested.

This latest legal aberration of temporarily hiring officers from other jurisdictions is an attempt to avoid activating the Oregon National Guard.

Why would any taxpayer in an outside municipality agree to their taxes covering the risk of one of their officers getting injured and potentially disabled in Portland?

“I will not allow Patriot Prayer and armed white supremacists to bring more bloodshed to our streets,” she said.”

One Patriot Prayer member was killed and no one retaliated.
So much for Patriot Prayer and armed white supremacists bringing bloodshed to the streets.

Apparently the governor has now become aware of some riots going on in some city in Oregon, and she might check it out.

In that six point plan document she blamed the Patriot Prayer group for the violence saying they brought guns not true. From her announcemnt:

“The right-wing group Patriot Prayer and self-proclaimed militia members drove into downtown Portland last night, armed and looking for a fight. Every Oregonian has the right to freely express their views without fear of deadly violence. I will not allow Patriot Prayer and armed white supremacists to bring more bloodshed to our streets.

It took approximately 3 months of observation to determine that violence is cyclical. Now they know what to do: tell the police to stop it.
