CLACKAMAS, Ore. – The sheriffs of Clackamas and Washington County say they will not send staff to help with protests in Portland after Oregon Governor Kate Brown unveiled a plan to address the violence at protests....

To make it a real Babylon Bee time, it should be:

Lawman credited with the killing of Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, refuses to take part in Oregon Governor's plan to stop riots in Portland. 8>)

I think it was less than a year ago all the surrounding police/sheriff departments discontinued mutual assistance agreements with Portland. Portland wasn’t going to grant the normal immunities to the helping departments.

The sheriffs of the two shires statements were very nicely worded “up yours.”

When the head of the state police recently pulled his troopers out of Portland he said he was sending his people back to their communities where law and order is respected. This occurred after the Portland DA let hundreds of arrested rioters free without charges.

The head of the state police has just retired.

Governor Kate Brown has replaced him, with a her.

Any officers outside of the Portland leftist created hell hole that would be assigned there are basically being ordered to be assaulted and possibly murdered. Screw that. It is criminal for any boss to send their officers there.

Portland, Seattle, and the other liberal run cities with riot get what they deserve, as they won’t prosecute the criminals but they prosecute the police.

All law enforcement should stand down and leave the county. Let the voters eat fist sandwiches as their homes are burnt on behalf of a black criminal having died somewhere.

I think Babylon Bee may go out of business soon for lack of contrast between reality and sarcasm.

No point in arresting law breakers, when all the Democrats do, is release them right back on to the streets. Makes no sense.

Wow. Police and Sheriffs telling the Governor, they will not be cannon fodder for her political photo-ops.
This is a big deal.
