Clackamas Co. Sheriff Craig Roberts said the governor didn’t approach his office before rolling out the plan, intended to address the violence and arson while also protecting free speech.

“Increasing law enforcement resources in Portland will not solve the nightly violence and now, murder,” the sheriff said. “The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.”

>>Why would cops arrest anyone since the government is letting them out of jail??<<

I think the sign over the courthouse doors says “closed until crime stops.”

Soros financed the election of these Democratic DAs that refuse to prosecte rioters, looters and people who perform felonius assault. If they are arrested they are released almost immedeatly to resume rioting. Why sholud police and sheriffs risk their lives and well being to do a fool’s errand? There is collusion between the Democrat elected officials, the DAs and the rioting paid criminals. The police are being squeezed and sacrificed.

I find this rather amusing and quite appropriate. Also, VERY necessary.

Couldn’t the gov send in the state police again, or will they withdraw again.

There can be no progress until the drooling leftards are run out of office.

the sheriff said. “The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.”

For a second there, I thought it said “Hold Officers accountable”

Whew...

No..it’d have to be Lincoln County for that.

Now if it was Pat Brady? I think his first name was Pat..
